“Yes. If Freya knows that Ryan likes her, she’ll definitely freak out and move out of the official residence
immediately, ” Shaun said as he smiled. “ Have you heard of the boiling frog effect? At this moment,
Freya is already in the pot but she just hasn’t realized it.”
Catherine was dumbfounded. Was her friend already in such a dangerous spot?
Shaun analyzed the situation. “She was just betrayed by her husband and went through a divorce. She
even had another failed relationship before this. During this period, her best friends are either busy or
dating. She has never said anything, but this must be an exceptionally lonely time for her. She’ll
definitely doubt her own charms.
“She might’ve thought of starting a new relationship before, but she has to take care of her child. In
addition, she doesn’t really believe in love anymore. A handsome, gentle, caring, and humorous man
appears during this time. He always makes her happy and chats with her. They’re not in a relationship.
Instead, they’re just sharing bits of their lives with each other and frequently have meals together.
Guess what will happen in the end?”
Catherine went silent for a moment. She said dryly, “She’ll start to rely on him.”
“That’s right.” Shaun nodded. “Ryan is occupying the empty spaces of Freya’s life in his way, from
eating with her to taking care of her child. Freya might not realize it yet, but if Ryan stops chatting with
her or starts ignoring her one day, she’ll surely not be used to it. She’d even take the initiative to
contact him.”
“F*ck.”
Catherine could not hold back from spewing vulgar words. “I didn’t know Ryan was so calculating.”
“He’s definitely calculating. However, that’s the only way. If he rashly tells Freya that he likes her, your
friend will surely freak out, ” Shaun said while smiling. “Let’s just go with the flow. At least Ryan is still a
responsible man. I’ve never even heard of him having any girlfriends before. This kind of person will be
attentive when they fall in love.”
“Should I tell Freya about this?” Catherine was in a dilemma. “I don’t really want Freya to get married to
someone from the Snow family again. Moreover,
Ryan’s identity is… trickier than Rodney’s. The Snow family will never let him marry Freya. There’s no
future for them.”
Shaun patted her head. “Ryan is treating Freya so well, yet she doesn’t even notice it. This means that
Ryan has used some kind of method. Even if you tell her, she might not believe you.”
Catherine recalled Freya’s expression. Freya did not believe her at all. “How did this happen?”
“Just go with the flow. Don’t overthink it. Ryan is even more intelligent compared to Prime Minister
Snow. He won’t do anything that he’s not confident in. He would’ve thought of all the possible obstacles
if he wanted to be with Freya. Since he dares to make a move on Freya, it means that he has the
confidence and determination to face those obstacles. Besides, he’s quite capable. Look, during this
period, Snow Corporation’s leader has changed and Old Master Snow was stripped of his power. At
first glance, Jessica seems to be the mastermind but how do you know that it wasn’t Ryan who was
driving everything behind the scenes?”
Catherine was shocked upon hearing that. “ Is that true?”
“It’s a guess.”
Shaun said profoundly, “Jessica never had the thought of competing for Snow Corporation. Why did
she suddenly make a move at this juncture?
This implies that Jessica and Ryan had already formed a partnership in secret. Do you know what this
means?”
Catherine did not have much knowledge about politics. She got more confused as she continued
listening. “What does it mean?”
Shaun’s gaze was serious. “It means that Ryan is now in charge of the Snow family behind the
scenes.”
“Huh?” Catherine could not believe it.
“To assume the position of prime minister and to sit tight in that position requires a lot of money.
Where does the money come from? The brothers, Nathan and Jason, got involved in politics and
business respectively. They complement each other, and both of them are indispensable.
However, Jason has been replaced by Jessica now. If Jessica disobeys Jason one day, how will
Nathan be r e-elected or even keep his current position?”
