Chapter 2433
“Rodney, if you had said this earlier, I would've been gratified.”
Jessica stood one meter away from Rodney. Her eyes on her pretty face rested on Rodney for quite a while before she responded.
Rodney was stunned. If he were not tied up, he would certainly stand up. At that moment, all he could do was struggle. " Jessica, what are you trying to do? I’m your brother, your biological brother, but you're not going to let me off because of such a trifle, huh? Indeed, I shouldn't have turned against Second Uncle. But think about my feelings. Ryan, that b*stard, has snatched my wife and child away, leaving me with nothing. As a man, how can I keep quiet about it?”
He still refused to admit his mistakes. Jessica's deep gaze conveyed a sense of frustration, helplessness, and sorrow. As she remained quiet, Rodney grew anxious.
He lost his composure and said in an agitated tone, “Jessica, you need to get this straight. I’m not your stumbling block, and I've never thought of snatching what's yours. All I want to deal with is Ryan. You're my biological sister, whom I've always respected and loved. No matter how close Ryan is to you, he’s not your biological brother. What's more, that guy is scheming. He might be going against me now, but he can do the same to you in the future.”
“Enough.”
Jessica could not bring herself to listen to it. How did her brother turn into such a despicable person?
“Rodney, I regret it a lot. As your sister, I thought that nothing would matter as long as you were happy. Because of that, you've never shouldered any responsibilities since you were young. You've been living so freely and unscrupulously that it made you so selfish.”
“Who's selfish?” Rodney found the situation strange. “Jessica, don't give me that glorified excuse. Get Dad and Mom over here. I have something to tell them.”
“They won't come over. They're very disappointed in you.”
“Are they really disappointed or are you tearing us apart?” Rodney began to struggle hard. “Jessica, I'm saying it once more. I won't snatch what's yours, so you don't have to treat me as a thorn in your side.”
