Minister O’Connell grew impatient. “Previously, you showed me a video of Ryan and Freya being
physically intimate with each other. The video would’ve been useful if Ryan hadn’t made his love affair
public. But now, everyone knows that they’re in a relationship, and it’s natural for a couple to hug and
kiss each other. You should recall whether the two of them had any intimate acts in public before this. If
there’s none, you can use a cheat shot.”
Rodney was stunned. He racked his brains for a while before he suddenly said, “I remember now.
Once, when I attended a banquet with Freya at night, I saw Ryan and Freya chatting for quite a while.
Ryan even touched Freya’s head intimately. That was when I couldn’t stand it and warned them.”
“But he was just touching her head.”
Minister O’Connell was slightly disappointed. Even so, he turned around and said to his secretary, “Ask
Young Master Snow the time and location. Then, go to the ballroom of the banquet and look into the
matter. There should be surveillance cameras in the ballroom.”
“Okay.”
After the secretary left, Rodney said, “Minister, you can post the video of Ryan touching Freya’s head
to muddy the waters. Then, you can hire a bunch of Internet ghostwrites to at least slander the two of
them even if it’s not possible to disprove what Rodney has said. The public will then learn that the
shameless couple isn’t as pure as what Ryan described in his post.”
With a discreet smile on his face, Minister O’Connell turned the beads on his wrist as he looked at
Rodney silently.
Rodney added, “Minister, I think you can start searching for Internet ghostwrites. After all, Ryan shared
the post at a late hour, and a lot of people are already asleep, so the netizens will only focus their
attention on it after tomorrow morning. You can even contact Ryan’s competitors. Besides, I believe…
other forces must be eying on the position. You…”
He bit his tongue.
Minister O’Connell was a clever person. He raised his brows and stared intently at Rodney for some
time. All of a sudden, he laughed. “Young Master Snow, if you were this ruthless back then, I think
hardly anyone could beat you.”
“I realized it too late,” Rodney said with a grave expression.
“Even I’m not as vicious as you are.”
Minister O’Connell clicked his tongue and shook his head. “It’s true. I do want to compete for the prime
minister’s position very badly, but the forces out there … I dare not offend them. It doesn’t matter if you
fight with your family members. If you can secure the position, it means you’re capable and that your
competitors are no match for you. We can be ambitious, but we can’t lose our morality. After all, the
citizen’s interests should be prioritized because citizens build nations. If you act according to your own
interests and s***w up the country, what’s the point of having a country?”
Minister O’Connell lit a cigarette as he said, “Your grandfather and I have known each other for over
ten years, and I must admit that he did not teach you well.”
Rodney’s expression changed, and he leaped to his feet, his handsome face flushed red. Nobody knew
whether it was because of anger or extreme embarrassment. “The winner makes the rules, while the
loser lives by them. Given that Nathan is your competitor, do you think things will end well for you after
you fail?”
“Kid, I’m not that weak, and Nathan isn’t that wicked either.”
Minister O’Connell had lost the mood to talk to him. “Think about whether you can benefit me in other
ways. If not, you can leave at daybreak tomorrow.”
Just as he rose to his feet, a security guard suddenly came from outside. “Minister, the Master of
Snowden is here. He said… he wants to take Rodney back.”
Rodney jerked in shock. He never thought that Jessica’s people would find him so soon.
