Chapter 2379
Jason rubbed his brows. “So you want me to assist you in stepping up so that you can compete with your sister? But I don’t think you’re capable, Rodney. All I can see is how narrow-minded and extreme you are. You don’t have the magnanimity that someone with high social standing typically has. You’ll ruin Snow Corporation with these qualities.”
“Dad, you just don’t trust me.” Rodney looked up and met his eyes.
“Trust you?” Jason reacted as if he had heard a joke. “I trusted you more than anyone else. You’re my son, and I have high hopes for you. But if I trusted you, I’m afraid Sarah would’ve conned you out of Snow Corporation’s shares.”
“Dad, that incident has taught me a lesson, and I’ve reflected on myself. If I repeat the same mistake, I’m a pig.” Agitated, Rodney said, “Why won’t you give me another chance?”
“You have reflected on yourself, but you’ve overdone it.”
Jason pushed Rodney furiously to the futon to make him kneel. “I might be old, but I’m not stupid. Take a look at yourself now. You’re angry and jealous as if everyone has hurt you and there are no good people in the world. It’s as if you’re the only one who’s right and kind.
“You’ll spend the night kneeling here.”
Jason fumed. “Your grandpa is my dad, and I don’t allow you to take advantage of him. He’s old. If you mess things up, it’ll damage his health.”
Once he finished speaking, he slammed the door and left.
Wendy promptly walked up to him. “How did it go?”
“He’s going to piss me off to death sooner or later.” Jason pressed his chest. “This kid has an evil heart. To think he’d plan to take advantage of his biological grandfather.”
Wendy forced a smile. “We thought he’d be enlightened after the experience he had with Sarah. I can’t believe… We should think of ways to separate Ryan from Freya. If this situation persists, Rodney will be even more triggered, and the Snow family will never be able to live peacefully.”
“Do you think I didn’t think of that?” Jason sighed. “Didn’t you hear what Heidi said? Ryan is her son, and Freya has nothing to do with us anymore. If we involve ourselves in the affair, it means we’re busybodies.”
“Anyhow, we’re Dani’s grandparents…”
“But did the Lynch family cause trouble for Rodney when he got married again? Although they’re Dani’s grandparents, did they stop your son from marrying that woman?”
His words left Wendy speechless. “So… so what should we do? I won’t accept this. Freya used t o be my son’s wife. If she becomes my niece-in-law in the future, that’ll be sickening. Also… this will become an object of ridicule among the wealthy families.”
“Let’s see how Nathan handles it,” Jason muttered.
The neon lights at the sides of the night street were colorful.
A black bulletproof car slowly drove forward.
Nathan was pulling a long face in the car. “Heidi, do you know you went too far speaking to m y dad that way just now? My dad has nurtured me since I was young, and he has high hopes for my brother and me. Without my dad, I won’t have everything I have today.”
“So, for yours and respect your dad’s sake, I need to forget about all my contributions, huh?” Heidi looked cool, but her eyes contained a tinge of sarcasm. “Nathan, I don’t want to bring up the past or list out how much the Lynch family has helped you. You’re the prime minister, and you care about your dignity, but don’t I care about mine?”
