"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 y bridge.


    Stacey''s cell phone rang. Seeing that it was from Forrest, Mrs. Childs was d 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 a moment 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.


    After 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 ns 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 troublestely, and I''m not sure if we can ovee this hurdle, so I''m afraid I can''t get engaged to Stacey. I''m really sorry. I''m willing topensate 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 a spensation. How does that sound?"


    Mrs. Childs'' eyebrows jumped.


    She did not expect Forrest to offer to cancel the engagement.


    For a moment, she was a little embarrassed.


    Although Lynch Corporation was in a crisis now, what if they overcame it?


    However, if they did not ovee it, it would be troublesome if Forrest took the opportunity to seek help from them.


    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 dors were now tens of millions i n value.


    Two storefronts would add up to around 701 o 80 million dors. They may even appreciate in value after two years.


    Her daughter had only hurt her leg a little. A few hundred thousand dors would be enough topletely 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 forpensation.


    After half a minute of deliberation, Mrs. Childs replied, "You''re a loyal and righteous person. I really want you to be my son-inw, but I only have one daughter. I worked so hard to raise her, so I don''t want her to suffer. I''ll ept 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.
