Hmph.
If the Lynch family fared well in the future and since Rodney had lost his inheritance, he might not be comparable to Lynch Corporation then. He would surely regret it.
A hush descended over the ward for half a minute.
Mrs. Lynch coughed lightly. “What he said makes sense. Why don’t…”
With that, she hesitantly turned her eyes to her son and husband.
Mr. Lynch took a sip of coffee before asking reluctantly, “Minister Snow, is the land approval really a small matter?”
“Mr. Lynch, you can just call me Ryan.”
Ryan corrected him respectfully and politely. “My parents treat Freya as their daughter, so you don’t have to stand on ceremony. We’re considered relatives.”
He had always been gentle and elegant. Despite his handsome looks, he was humble. Coupled with his gentle voice, Mrs. Lynch took an instant liking to him.
“This man is so well-educated.” Mrs. Lynch praised him. “You’re a member of the executive council. If we treat you as our relative, that would mean that we’re trying to climb to the top.”
“So what if I’m a member of the executive council? I’m only human like everyone else. I grew up eating the same kind of food as everyone else too, ” Ryan said languidly, “When I was a child, my parents taught me that I’m actually no different from other people, except that I come from a better family background.”
Mr. Lynch nodded in profound admiration.
Ryan added, “Mr. Lynch, I can just make a call and settle it. Forrest will then be able to develop Lynch Corporation in Canberra, while Freya can set up her company. The four of you will be reunited. As far as I know, Weston Creek is only a few kilometers away from the seashore. Recently, there have been a lot o f villa developments around that place. There’s also a private beach, and the lovely weather makes it a prime living area. Compared to this place, Melbourne is too moist and cold. The elderly who live there will easily experience joint pain.”
