Rodney was stunned. Then, his expression changed.
“Snowden,” Jessica said that word slowly. “You think you have Snowden under your control, but that’s just your thought. Snowden’s people are obeying you just because I told them to. Grandpa and Dad think that they’re in charge of the Snow family, but that’s not the case. It’s only because I let them think that way. It’s because I respect them and listen to them.”
Rodney’s whole body was shaking.
He suddenly recalled General Manager Quinn’s betrayal.
He thought he could dominate everything, but that was not true.
“Is Master Porter your subordinate?” Rodney asked with gritted teeth.
“Otherwise, where do you think the photos of you going in and out of the condominium and the photos of Sarah’s proof of miscarriage came from?”
Jessica glanced at him resignedly and mockingly.“
Rodney, I admit that you’re very clever. However, when you were still playing around with mud, I was already strategizing. This is the difference between us.”
“Don’t say anything more!” Rodney yelled in anger. His eyes reddened. “Grandpa has never given you access to Snowden. How did you get Snowden’s members to listen to you?”
“I knew since I was young that Snowden was a sharp sword of the Snow family. How could I ignore such a good sword? Master Porter is a blade I’ve sharpened for more than ten years for all of you. Do you like this surprise?”
Jessica plucked a flower from a plant in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. She pulled off the petals and crushed them.
“More than ten years ago?” Rodney was shocked. What did that imply? It meant that Jessica had been laying out her strategy more than ten years ago. “ You’ve been thinking of acquiring Snow Corporation from the start. We all trusted you. Why are you only exposing yourself now?”
