Jessica threw a glance at Harold. âI donât live there anymore.â
Haroldâs smile froze. âAre you back in the old residence?â
âNo.â
Jessica gave him a one-word reply without explaining further. Then, she turned around and entered the house to bid Chairman Lennox goodbye. âChairman Lennox, Iâm going to head back now. I'll come again next time.â
âItâs raining heavily. Let Harold send you back,â Chairman Lennox said with a smile as he rose to his feet.
âNo need. We're going in different directions.â After Jessica nodded politely, she took over the servantâs umbrella and left.
With a smile, Chairman Lennox watched Jessica get in the car before he turned around and looked at his son, who was pulling a long face. âYou havenât told Jessica about it, have you? How long do you want to drag this? Youâre not young anymore. I heard from Jason a few days ago that his family approves of you being together with Jessica. After all, both our families have known each other well for a long time.
âJessica... seems to have a boyfriend already.â Harold clenched his fists and said with mixed feelings.
âWho?â Chairman Lennox was astonished. âIâve never heard Jason mention it. Could it bea misunderstanding?â
Haroldâs eyes darkened. âIâm not sure, but she hinted that through her words.â
Chairman Lennox began to think. âThatâs impossible. How can the grandsons of other chairmen compare with you? Jessica canât possibly be interested in them. Whatâs more, she usually ignores the young men from the entertainment industry who try to approach her during social functions.â
âYeah. She has never taken a good look at those handsome young men. Iâve hinted to her over and over again, but sheâs been ignoring me.â Harold suddenly said, âDad, do you think she still thinks about Jordan? Although Jordan fell sick easily, he was handsome. Look, he has been dead for years, and the Churchill family has been going downhill. Yet, Jessica has been looked after the Churchill family and even arranged for Jordanâs sister to work in Snow Corporation.â
Chairman Lennox darted a profound glance at Harold. âNot necessary. After all, Jordan has been dead for years. You should try your best. If you can marry Jessica, itâll greatly benefit the Lennox farnily.
When you become her husband, sheâll inevitably rely on you in the future, especially when sheâs pregnant. Women always have to deal with a lot of inconveniences. By then, you can help her manage Snow Corporation, and if you both give birth to a son, my grandson will be the one inheriting Snow Corporation.â
A glint flashed in Haroldâs eyes. âDad, didnât Old Master Snow make his will already? Carsonâs son will be taking over Snow Corporation in the future.â
âCarson, that idiot?â
Chairman Lennox shook his head. âHis mind is on relationships, so heâs not a threat. Whatâs more, when Jessica gives birth to a child in the future, can she bear to hand over Snow Corporation to Carsonâs son? Dream on. If she were merciful, she wouldnât have snatched the position from Rodney.
Old Master Snow knows that the will helps ensure that his family membersâ lives will be fine. However, no matter how well Jessica does, sheâs still a woman...â
He shot a profound look at his son. âWhy was I the first person to help her back then? Firstly, I believe that the Snow family has become the shadow of its former self. Secondly, I did it for your sake. Anyway, she owes us a favor, so when you're free, invite her over for a meal more often.â
âDad, I need your help in this matter. She respects you more.â
Harold looked expectantly at his father.
âNo rush. Since you said she has a man by her side, why donât you go and check if he exists?â
In the apartment, the clock on the wall pointed at 10:00 p.m. sharp.
After Forrest came out of the bathroom, he received another call from Jessica. âI got into a car accident. Iâll be back later at night.â
âHow did you even get into a car accident? How do you drive?â Forrestâs expression turned grim.
