“Didn’t Snow Corporation already make an announcement?” Upon hearing Rory’s voice, Rodney felt so annoyed that his temples jerked. It seemed that he was on the brink of breaking down.
“What on earth did you do?” Rory raised his voice in disbelief. “You’ve been in charge of the alternative energy company. That bunch of old men actually dared to kick you out, huh?”
“Yeah. My sister has long planted someone by my side. I just found out not long ago.” Rodney forced a smile. “My family deserted me again.”
Rory was completely at a loss for words. “You can get Shaun and Chester to help you. With their competence, they can surely deal with Jessica together.”
“Enough. Stop mentioning the two of them.” Rodney felt something piercing his heart.
He was no fool. When he kicked up a fuss in the Hill family’s manor that day, he had a falling-out with Shaun. As for Chester, he did not quarrel with him,
but there was already conflict between them. When Rodney stayed in the hospital to keep Sarah company before this, Chester did not greet him at all even though he went to the hospital for work every day.
A few days ago, Rodney was disappointed that he was kicked out of Snow Corporation, so he asked Chester out for a drink.
Nevertheless, Chester directly answered him that he was not free.
Rodney knew that his relationship with Chester would never return to how it used to be.
“Do you also… have a conflict with them?” Rory was dumbfounded and shocked. He did not know what to say about Rodney. “Are you out of your mind? Shaun’s mother-in-law is an oil magnate. Her business is comparable to the Jewell family’s business and Snow Corporation. Do you know how many people out there want to get acquainted with
Shaun’s family? However, they are too haughty to be friends with ordinary people. Having these two friends means you can do whatever you want in Australia, yet you had a falling-out with them.
“Quickly apologize to them and ask them to help you…”
Rodney was already on the verge of breaking down. With Rory talking by his ear like a machine gun, Rodney ultimately flew into a rage as he could no longer put up with him. “Enough. Shut your mouth. Is my identity worse than theirs? Why should I be the one apologizing to them? My affairs are none of your business. If you enjoy buttering them up, go ahead.”
