Chapter 2467
“Mom, you guys are too much.” Stacey was so angry that she teared up.
However, her leg was hurt, so it was inconvenient for her to go out.
After confiscating her daughter’s phone, Mrs. Childs went out to play bridge.
Stacey’s cell phone rang. Seeing that it was from Forrest, Mrs. Childs was glad that she had the foresight to snatch
it from her daughter.
She answered the phone and said, “ Forrest, Stacey is taking a nap. Do you need something?”
On the other end, Forrest was silent for amoment before saying in a low voice, “Aunty, would it be convenient if I
dropped by the Childs family’s residence tonight?”
He felt that it would be more polite to tell them in person that he wanted to cancel the engagement.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter all, he had already agreed.
Mrs. Childs’ heart thumped. Was Forrest trying to bring forward his marriage to her daughter because he knew that
Lynch Corporation could no longer hold on?
She hurriedly said, “Tonight? It
might not be convenient tonight. Our family will be going to visit Stacey’s grandmother.”
“Then what about tomorrow?”
“Oh, Stacey hurt her leg, so she plans to stay there for a few days to spend more time with her grandmother,” Mrs.
Childs said helplessly.
Forrest understood. The Childs family had probably heard about Lynch Corporation’s matters and were being
evasive.
He already knew that Stacey’s parents were quite powerful when he
attended the party before, but nowadays, it was not that remarkable to have money and status. However, it was a
fact that Stacey had saved him. As Stacey was fine with it, he had no problems marrying her either. However... this
was fine too.
“Aunty, I’ll be honest with you,” Forrest said bluntly. “Lynch Corporation has encountered some troubles lately, and
I’m not sure if we can overcome this hurdle, so I’m afraid I can’t get engaged to Stacey. I’m really sorry. I’m willing
to compensate for the injury that Stacey got in order to save me. A few years ago, I bought two storefronts at
Canberra’s Starway Avenue. I’ll use that as compensation. How does that sound?”
Mrs. Childs’ eyebrows jumped.
She did not expect Forrest to offer to cancel the engagement.
For amoment, she was a little embarrassed.
Although Lynch Corporation was ina crisis now, what if they overcame it? However, if they did not overcome it, it

As for the storefronts at Starway Avenue, Mrs. Chids was rather surprised.
Starway Avenue was built a few years ago, and the storefronts that were worth several million dollars were now
tens of millions in value.
Two storefronts would add up to around 70 to 80 million dollars. They may even appreciate in value after two years.
Her daughter had only hurt her leg a little. A few hundred thousand dollars would be enough to completely treat
her, but Forrest was offering them tens of millions. He was too generous. If it were the Childs family, they might not
be willing to fork out so much money just for compensation. After half a minute of deliberation, Mrs. Childs replied,
“You’re a loyal and righteous person. I really want you to be my son-in-law, but I only have one daughter. I worked
so hard to raise her, so I don’t want her to suffer. I’ll accept your offer on her behalf.”
She did not say anything about refusing the storefronts.
Forrest said politely, “Then I’ll have my secretary go through the transfer formalities tomorrow.” After settling this
matter, Forrest called his secretary over.
Originally, Stacey was in charge of these matters, but now that she was injured and on leave, the matters were
handed to Secretary Wilks.
