Chapter 2531
Under Forrest’s dark gaze, Jessica felt awkward. “ What are you trying to say?”
“Did you really... resign?” Forrest asked with a hoarse voice.
“Mm. I’m currently handing over my job to someone else. After two days, I won’t need to go to work anymore.”
Jessica fastened the seat belt. Then, she noticed that the gaze of the man beside her became even more unstable.
“In the future, you...”
After pausing for a moment, Forrest pursed his thin lips in annoyance. “Did you actually resign because of me?”
"..."
At the sight of his distressed look, Jessica somehow found it amusing. Forrest had asked the same question
numerous times today. “Yeah. After my parents learned about it, they called me over and gave me a piece of their
mind. Considering my identity, they might think that they should be the ones deciding on what kind of man J should
marry. They were afraid that I would be deceived because I’m the president of Snow Corporation, so I resigned
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtstraight away.” Forrest was astounded for quite a while. He had probably guessed what her parents said.
However, he found Jessica’s direct manner unbelievable. “Can you bear to leave Snow Corporation? Ever since you
graduated, you’ve put a lot of effort into Snow Corporation...”
“In fact, I prefer freedom to power,” Jessica explained solemnly.
At that point, Forrest believed everything Ryan had said.
Jessica snatched the position from Rodney just so she could be with Forrest after she gained freedom.
Nevertheless, Forrest was not the sort who was expressive when it came to relationships. Especially after he had
been single for a long time. He had become a little dull.
He could only express himself by grasping her hand firmly.
“What are you doing? My hand hurts,” Jessica suddenly yelled in pain.
“I’m sorry...” Shocked, Forrest promptly loosened his grasp. “I was thinking about something.”
“What was it?” She looked at him, her eyes glowing.
Forrest’s handsome face was burning. A moment later, he clenched his fist and let out a deep cough. “Don’t worry.
No matter what you do in the future, I’ll support you.”
Jessica straightened up and clicked her tongue with her eyes settled on him. “You’re still the same as before. You
don’t know how to say honeyed words, but you were quite clever at scolding me earlier on.”
“IT misunderstood you earlier.” Forrest was embarrassed.
Jessica shook her head and denied it. “You didn’t misunderstand me. Back then... I was indeed selfish. Despite
knowing that we couldn't really get together, I chose to be ina relationship with you. I promised to meet your
parents after I went back to the country, yet I stood you up. I even said that you were undeserving of me in order
to force you to give up on our relationship. Although I knew that you were arrogant, I made those hurtful remarks
to ruin your self-esteem.”
After Forrest listened to what she said, he kept quiet for some time before he asked, “Can you tell me what was
actually on your mind when you said you wanted to break up with me back then? I want to know the answer. You
owe me the truth.”
All of a sudden, silence descended on the car. Jessica’s eyes twitched. She turned around and stared at him. The
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcorners of her eyes reddened in spite of herself. “We were too young. No matter how hard we tried to be together,
both our families wouldn’t accept it. You would have to go back to Melbourne to inherit your family’s business,
whereas I would have to return to Canberra to help stabilize my dad’s company. I also had to help my uncle secure
the position of prime minister, so I couldn’t help but do that to you. Since I was young, my uncle’s family has
treated me very well. The Snow family was the one who brought me into this world and provided me with food and
everything else. If I turned against the Snow family, they might harm your family if things got worse.”
Forrest grasped the point and nodded firmly.
His eyes were slightly burning. After so many years, he finally learned the truth. “Why didn’t you tell me the truth,
then? If you had, I wouldn’t have hated you and misunderstood you.”
“Forrest, if you knew that I broke up with you because of external factors, you definitely wouldn’t let go of our
relationship considering your stubbornness. You would look for my parents or give up your family business. If things
got worse and the matter involving us was exposed to the Churchill family and the Snow family, your life would be
at stake. That’s not what I want to happen. I just hoped that you could live the way I had described earlier.”
Jessica said with a forced smile, “At that time, I really hoped that you could forget me and start afresh with another
woman in Melbourne. But later, I learned that... you had always been single wee ”
Forrest thought for a moment. Even if he had previously known that Jessica loved him, he would not have been able
to stop her from breaking up with him.
