Chapter 5: Chapter Five: Really Getting Married?!

These matters, even she herself was unaware of, so how did Pete Melville know about them? It seemed he had long made thorough preparations, determined to acquire the shares of the Forster Corporation.

"Alright, if I want to transfer these shares to Mr. Melville now, what should I do?"

Stanley Gissing, entrusted by the late Mrs. Su, remained silent for a while before suddenly changing his tone: "According to my understanding, Miss Forster, you once wrote a will stating that in the unfortunate event of your accidental death, all your shares in the Forster Corporation would go to Mr. Tim Lindberg. If you wish to transfer the shares to Mr. Melville now, you must obtain Mr. Tim Lindberg's consent."

Tim Lindberg... Who is he?

Elizabeth Forster searched her memory hard but couldn't find a face to match this name. Was this person once her friend? Then why hadn't Tim Lindberg contacted her for such a long time? And the will, why would she think of writing one when she was perfectly alive and well?

Too many mysteries clouded Elizabeth Forster's mind, making it impossible for her to see the truth clearly.

However, there was one thing Elizabeth Forster was very clear about: as long as Tim Lindberg could not be found, she wouldn't have to transfer the shares to Pete Melville!

She couldn't help but feel secretly pleased: "Mr. Melville, I'm sorry, I didn't know this situation would occur."

As soon as she finished speaking, Pete Melville abruptly stood up.

A hint of anger appeared between his brows, and a powerful aura suddenly emanated from him.

He towered over Stanley Gissing, locking his sharp gaze on him, and asked through gritted teeth, "What were the specific circumstances under which Elizabeth Forster transferred the shares to Tim Lindberg at the time?"

Elizabeth Forster looked at the tall figure in front of her with astonishment, full of confusion.

Stanley Gissing replied, "I'm sorry, I'm not very clear on the specific details either."

"That's enough, you can leave now."

Upon being dismissed, Stanley Gissing said nothing more, got up, and left.

In the large living room, only Pete Melville and Elizabeth Forster were left, their eyes meeting, neither of them speaking first.

After a long while, the man's icy voice slowly came: "Don't you have anything you want to tell me? For example, why did you write a will? And why did you want to transfer the shares to Tim Lindberg after your death? Who is he?"

Pete Melville's intense gaze made Elizabeth Forster momentarily dazed.

What does this have to do with him?

Elizabeth Forster had no choice but to confess, "I don't know the answers to the questions you're asking. I once lost my memory, and I don't remember many things."

Lost her memory?

She actually lost her memory?

No wonder...

Suddenly, Pete Melville changed the subject: "Joannance that's the case, let's go get our marriage certificate tomorrow."

Marriage certificate?!

Elizabeth Forster's eyes widened in shock. She had only sought out Pete Melville as a temporary shield to escape the Lin family.

Without even thinking, Elizabeth Forster hurriedly refused, "Mr. Melville, I am very grateful for your help, but we are complete strangers. How can we get married?"

Complete strangers.

Those few simple words undoubtedly touched the man's most sensitive nerve.

Looking into Elizabeth Forster's clear eyes, Pete Melville opened his thin lips: "Your mother's will states that the shares can only be transferred to your name after you are married. If we get married, I can immediately acquire the shares once you find Tim Lindberg."

Elizabeth Forster was speechless, unable to come up with a rebuttal.

Indeed, if she didn't get married, finding Tim Lindberg would be useless.

But if they were to get married...

Staring intently at the man in front of her, Elizabeth Forster had to admit that among countless men, Pete Melville was one of the most outstanding.

He had a face that could make countless women go crazy, a perfect physique, and an extraordinary background.

Choosing such a man to be her husband... it didn't seem too bad.

After a long while, Elizabeth Forster mumbled, "Alright, but you have to promise me that although we will go through the legal marriage procedures, we will only be a fake couple. You cannot do... those excessive things to me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the man's handsome face suddenly loomed closer.

Feeling a warm current brush against her neck, followed by that uniquely charming voice, "What exactly... counts as excessive?"

Instantly, Elizabeth Forster's face turned red to the ears.

She stumbled back a few steps, maintaining a safe distance from Pete Melville, her heart still pounding violently.

Taking a deep breath, Elizabeth Forster said angrily, "You cannot force me to do... things I don't want to do without my consent!"

The sound of the man's light laughter reached her ears, particularly grating.

"If there's nothing else, I... I'll take my leave." She hurriedly said, turning towards the door.
