– “Dad, it’s not possible to finish a proposal in a day anyway. I need to research and extract data.
Besides, you said I don’t have to rush through it…”
“Are you not going to even though I said so? Is this how you work for me?” Nathan threw a fit. “I think
you’re only focused on your relationship.”
“Dad, I really need to go out tonight,” Ryan continued to argue impatiently. “Rodney almost kidnapped
Freya by force this afternoon. He’s not contactable now, and his whereabouts are unknown. If he went
to meet your enemies, the consequences would be unimaginable. I must discuss with Freya about
disclosing our relationship. The faster, the better.”
“Are you nuts?”
Nathan instantly thumped the desk and told him off, “I’ve been stressed out about your affair, and what
about you? It’s fine that you’re not planning to break up with her, but now you’re telling me you want to
disclose your relationship with her? Are you insane?”
“Dad, at this point, the person who speaks first will get a head start. Rodney is bound to divulge our
relationship because he wants to ruin our life since he can’t have Freya. Therefore, we need to act
first.”
“B*llshit.” Nathan could no longer tolerate Ryan. “I watched Rodney grow up. How could he possibly go
to my enemies? I’m his biological uncle.” Ryan sneered. “I don’t think he treats you as his biological
uncle. Perhaps he sees you as his stumbling block instead. Dad, think about Rodney’s behavior last
night. Considering his extreme thinking, no one can predict what he’ll do next. All we can do is guard
against him and act faster. Also, why is he hiding all of a sudden? None of us can contact him either.
What on earth is he trying to do?”
“Have his parents contacted him?” Heidi suddenly asked.
“Yeah.” Ryan nodded. “Mom, think about it. If Rodney goes to the media companies to expose the
matter on his own, I’m sure none of the companies will dare to say a word. However, it’s a different
situation if he goes to Dad’s competitors. Minister O’Connell and Senator Lawton have been hoping
Dad would have a scandal during his term in office. If that happens, he won’t be able to be re-elected
for another term. They don’t want Dad to serve for another four years.”
Nathan’s expression shifted. The more he dwelled on it, the more furious he became. He slapped Ryan
on the back of his head. “You brat, I’ve warned you earlier, and you still have to give me trouble.”
“Dad, I’m the one who’s giving you trouble. It’s your beloved nephew.”
Nathan immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
“Dad, think again. By acting so, Rodney will benefit from the situation. Now that he has screwed up his
career, he’s trying to create chaos within the Snow family, and then… To stop him from spreading
scandal, what will you do in the end? You’ll have to give him benefits. If he wants Snow Corporation
back, you’ll need to give it to them. Jessica will have no choice but to compromise to pour oil on
troubled waters.”
“Enough.”
Nathan held his head in his hands.
He had to admit that the consequences would be terrifying if Rodney betrayed him.
He had to admit that the consequences would be terrifying if Rodney betrayed him. If Rodney, as
Freya’s ex-husband, came out to condemn him publicly even without proof, the public would be under
the impression that the prime minister’s family was a bully.
In that case, Nathan could forget about being re-elected as the prime minister.
However, no one knew what would happen even if Ryan divulged his relationship with Freya.
“Dad, Freya and I are truly in love. Plus, we’re not related by blood, so other people might not criticize
us so badly. It’ll depend on how positively we lead the situation. But if Rodney exposes it first, the
public will have preconceived ideas, and they probably won’t trust what we say.”
“What a positive mind you have. If your relationship with Freya is made public, no one will be able to
stop you from being with her, right?” Nathan mocked him in a strange tone, “Do you know how much
trouble you’ve caused me this time?”
“Please trust me. I can settle this issue.”
