Let Me Go, Mr. Hill!

Secretary Wilks was shocked when he heard this. “President Lynch, Secretary Childs did save your life, but according to the company’s history of work-related injuries, the maximum compensation is only one million. The potential for appreciation for the storefronts at Starway Avenue is very high. Assets worth tens of millions now would probably be worth hundreds of millions in the future. There are still many uncertainties about Lynch Corporation’s future, so there’s really no need to use them as compensation.”

“Stacey is the precious daughter of the Childs family. If the compensation is merely according to the previous standard or just doubled, the Childs family might not be satisfied. Even if they were to agree, after Lynch Corporation gets through this hurdle, the Childs family will use it as an excuse to push for the marriage again.”

Forrest explained patiently, “The compensation is indeed exorbitant, but with this, I won’t owe Stacey anything anymore even if there are scars on her leg.”

Secretary Wilks still complained bitterly, “She only fractured her leg, but she’s getting storefronts worth tens of millions in compensation. If I had known, I’d have followed you that day. If I was the one who saved you, I wouldn’t ask for more compensation. A couple hundred thousand dollars would be enough.”

Forrest was quiet the entire time, and the corners of his mouth could not be raised into a smile at all.

His heart hurt too. His heart hurt more than anyone else’s.

However, when Stacey was hospitalized, the Childs family acted as if they would never give up until he married her.

Now, if he did not put down some of his hard-earned capital, the Childs family might not necessarily agree to cancel the engagement. Maybe the Childs family would wait until Lynch Corporation overcame the crisis to make their move again. If Lynch Corporation fell, the Childs family would just deny the engagement. If Lynch Corporation succeeded in overcoming the hurdle, the Childs family would definitely not just forget about the matter.
