Chapter 2490

Stacey knew that if she took the storefronts, she would no longer have a chance with Forrest. Forrest looked down

at the document. It was the transfer contract. “As your mother said, if you hadn’t saved me that day, I might have

lost my life. My life is worth these two storefronts, so

take them. Let’s just consider this matter even. I don’t like to owe favors either.”

His words were very blunt.

Stacey’s pretty face was pale, and she bit her lip. “ My mom exaggerated it. Even if ] hadn’t saved you that day, it’s

unlikely that you would’ve lost your life. Besides, I acted out of my own volition. I moved reflexively that day. I don’t

want others to say that I’m taking advantage of the situation after saving you. Maybe people will even say that if

they had known that you would have to compensate me with so much money for saving you, they’d rather I not

have saved you in the first place.”

Her eyes were glowing stubbornly until they became bloodshot. She raised her head, continuing, “If this kind of

news spreads, who will dare marry me in the future? Everyone will avoid me instead.”

Forrest listened with a frown.

His assistant and mother had said the same thing. However, he knew very well that if he took the storefronts back,

it would mean that he would always owe Stacey this favor.

“Problems that can be solved with money aren’t problems to me.”

Now that things had come to this point, Forrest did not want to beat about the bush. “Standing in your position,

perhaps your considerations are valid. However, have you ever thought about my position? How can I take back the

storefronts or compensate you according to the original precedents of work-related injuries? Your family is a

wealthy family in Canberra. In your parents’ words, you’ re their priceless treasure. Your leg is broken and you

might get a scar. Just a small amount of money isn’t enough to compensate you.”

Stacey’s lips trembled slightly. “My parents—” “Listen to me,” Forrest raised his hand and interrupted her. “That’s

why I agreed to marry you before. I don’t care who I marry. You’ve been working by my side for so long, and I]

know your capabilities. Frankly speaking, I neither like you nor hate you. But a few days ago, when news about

Lynch Corporation’s crisis broke out, what did your parents do? My father called to ask your father if he knew any

acquaintances in Liberty, but your father avoided my father. No one picked up our calls either.”

Stacey’s cheeks were red with shame, obviously not expecting Forrest to be so blunt. “You’ve misunderstood. My

dad was really busy at that time. He was thinking of ideas as well. He didn’t pick up the calls because he has a

private phone and a business phone—”

She did not know that if she had honestly admitted it, Forrest would have somewhat appreciated the gesture.

However, she chose to cover up for her father instead. Forrest felt like she was taking him for a fool.

The Childs family was not deliberately avoiding them? Then why was it that Mr. and Mrs. Childs immediately came

to their door to apologize after the Lynch family’s crisis?

However, Forrest did not bother to argue with her. If not for the sake of completely cutting her off, h e would not be

saying so much to her either. “Then let’s talk about your mother.”

Forrest said faintly, “Your mother answered your phone when I called you that day, and she very happily agreed

when I mentioned canceling the engagement. Assistant Childs, would your parents have agreed to cancel the

engagement if nothing had happened to Lynch Corporation?” His question was too sharp. Stacey’s face

immediately went red. “That day...”

“Assistant Childs, you’re an excellent woman, but marriage is not a matter between two people. It’s a matter

between two families.”

Forrest said bluntly, “When I first came to Canberra, your parents wouldn’t even look at me. Truth be told, if not for

my sister’s association with Ryan Snow and Lynch Corporation’s improvement, your parents wouldn’t have agreed

to our engagement at all. No business will always be smooth sailing. Lynch Corporation overcame this hurdle today,

but there might be a new crisis tomorrow. I may be left with nothing one day, but I only have one criterion for my

wife. Even if I lose everything, I need my wife to stay by my side.”

Stacey said with difficulty, “President Lynch, to be honest, I fell in love with you at first sight. Back then, Lynch

Corporation didn’t have a firm foothold in Canberra yet. My parents are my parents, and I’m me.”

“Sorry, but I don’t want my partner to be estranged from her parents because of me. I can’t give her all of me.

Besides, your parents aren’t simple people.”
