Rodney had gone through this when the Snow family cut all ties with him last time.
Nevertheless, he was not as helpless at that time.
Even though he had lost everything back then, at least he still had the woman he loved.
However, things are different now. Sarah was still with him, but he felt like he had nothing left.
“President Snow…” Rodney’s assistant, Hans, went to his side. He watched the man who was
clutching his head and crouching on the floor with a sad gaze.
Rodney raised his head. His pretty eyes were lost and empty.
“President Snow, I’m sorry. This is my… resignation letter. I’ve worked with you for six years, so I wish
to hand this to you personally when I leave.” Hans handed over the resignation document.
Rodney glanced at the document and grabbed Hans’s collar in disbelief. “Even you’re leaving me too.
No matter how shabby I am, I still have Osher
Corporation. There are many people fighting to be my assistant. Why? Is being Osher Corporation’s
assistant not enough to satisfy you? How f*cking capable are you anyway? Don’t be so ambitious.
Only my company can accommodate you.”
“That’s not it.”
Hans lowered his head. “Osher Corporation is Australia’s large -scale cosmetics company. When you
chose me to be your assistant back then, I was very proud. But I’m leaving… because my girlfriend and
parents are telling me to resign. You might not know, but the fact that you cheated on your wife is now
known to the public, and you’ve become the common enemy of the women in this entire nation. My
family members think you have a bad character and that I might be influenced by your bad habits if I
stay by your side. My girlfriend even told me that she’d rather I earn less money. At least she can
have a sense of security.”
“Ha.”
Rodney looked as if he had just heard the most ridiculous joke ever. His handsome face was flushed
red from anger. “Don’t you know my character?
You’ve been with me for so many years. Aren’t you clear what type of person I am?”
Hans went silent for a moment. He pressed his lips and said, “I used to think that you value your
relationships more than anything. For the sake of relationships, you did not care about how others saw
you. But now, I think you’re an irresponsible person. To be honest, I’m just an assistant, but I’ve directly
and implicitly advised you before. The truth is that you had an affair just after your wife gave birth. In
my opinion, you should’ve sent Miss Neeson away with some money…”
“Enough. Stop talking.”
Rodney felt a sharp throb of pain in his temples. “ Leave. I approve of your resignation.”
“Thank you.” Hans nodded. “President Snow. This is my last piece of advice to you. Go back to the
company now, and stop staying by Miss Neeson’s side every day. You’ve offended all of Australia’s
women with your affair, and they are Osher Corporation’s source of income. If you don’t settle this
problem through public relations as soon as possible, the consequences will be grave.”
Rodney rubbed the middle of his brows in annoyance.
Hans moved his legs. “You might not be clear on this, but Osher Corporation is going through its worst
reputational crisis in history because of you. Many cosmetics companies want a bite of Osher
Corporation’s market, especially Freycatheli. They’ve introduced a new skincare product, and they’re
even collaborating with e-commerce platforms to hold large-scale events for New Year’s Day. Freya, in
particular, has gained the sympathy of all women as the victim. Freycatheli has been one of the top
three best-selling skincare companies consecutively for the past three weeks…”
“Skincare?” Rodney was surprised. “Aren’t they specializing in cosmetics?”
“They’ve already gained a good reputation in the cosmetics industry, so they’re taking the opportunity
to reposition and launch skincare products.”
Hans sighed. “Freya’s global reputation as a cosmetics chemist is pretty good. Everyone is willing to
buy her products. The new skincare products she’s launching were initially developed for you to launch
at Osher Corporation some time ago. However, both of you had fallen out afterward, so… After all, you
guys didn’t sign a contract back then. There was only a verbal agreement.”
Rodney was stunned.
He vaguely recalled that incident in his mind. Back when Freycatheli had some minor achievements,
Freya asked whether Osher Corporation needed new products, which she and her team could help to
develop.
That was when Rodney and Freya’s relationship was going well. He even joked that her formulations
were worth billions of dollars. What did she say back then? She said she was helping her husband and
could give away a few formulations. By then, his skincare company and her cosmetics company would
dominate the world, and they would be the greatest couple in the cosmetics industry.
Those words sounded fresh in his ears when in fact, it had been a long time since then.
Rodney could only hear his hoarse voice after a long while. “Isn’t Freya in the hospital? Can she still
manage the company?” “Currently, Catherine is in charge of the company. She has managed Hudson
Corporation before, so she’s active in management and operations. On top of her experience, she has
wide connections, and many manufacturers want to connect with her. I think Freycatheli’s strategy and
goals have changed.”
