âIâll think of a way. Meeting adjourned. Also, this must stay between us. Itâll be even more troublesome if it causes other customers cancel on us now.â
After the meeting, Forrest went to Jerryâs conference room.
Jerry massaged his temples. âWhen you go to Shelltown, you must find out who is behind this no matter what. Weâve taken all our funds to expand Lynch Corporation this year, and weâre at a crucial period for development. If something goes wrong, our family will have to go back to Melbourne with a huge debt. We can earn the money again even if we lose, but... we canât embarrass Freya.â
âI know.â
Forrest secretly clenched his fist. Back then, the Snow family looked down on them, but he stood his ground and chose to come to Canberra. The first reason was for the sake of his career, and the second was because he wanted to build up the Lynch familyâs name. He could not let the Snow family look down on them. Now that Freya was dating Ryan, the Lynch family had to work harder. Otherwise, no matter how capable Freya was, and even if the Prime Ministerâs family did not mind... as time passed, Ryan might not say anything, but the Snow family relatives would surely gossip. °
In the afternoon, Forrest took a flight to Inez Corporation.
He waited outside for three whole hours before he saw President Chaplin.
âForrest, you donât have to say anything more. Weâve worked together for many years. If we werenât so helpless this time, we wouldnât have suspended our collaboration with you.â President Chaplin looked at him deep in the eyes. âIll be honest with you. I canât afford to mess with the people you offended.â
Forrest frowned fiercely. âAre you talking about... the Snow family?â
His mind raced.
The company had competitors but not enough to affect Sharon Company in the US and Inez Corporation, whom they had cooperated with for a long time.
Did the Snow family secretly pull some strings because they did not approve of Freya dating Ryan?
President Chaplin took a sip of tea and said with mixed feelings, âSeeing that weâve known each other for so long, Iâll come clean. Itâs not someone from the Prime Ministerâs side. You know Snow Corporation, right? Theyâre like a huge mountain. Crushing me to death would be as easy as crushing an ant.â
Forrestâs brain began to buzz.
Why did he not think of Snow Corporation?
The person in charge of Snow Corporation right now was Jessica Snow.
Why would she target Lynch Corporation?
Could it be for Rodney?
Or was she targeting him?
How could the woman be so ruthless? âThank you, President Chaplin.â Forrest left with a chill running down his spine.
Once he was out, he dialed Jessicaâs number. When the call connected, a womanâs indifferent voice answered, âWhat?â
âJessica Snow, Iâve never met a woman as black-hearted as you.â Forrest was a very calm and indifferent person, but every time he faced the woman, it felt as if a flame was burning in his chest. At that moment, he was furious. âWhat exactly do you want with Lynch Corporation? Are you trying to avenge Rodney? Or are you using Lynch Corporation to force Freya and Ryan to break up?â
