“Mm.”
Jessica nodded and lowered her gaze.
Her long eyelashes left a dark shadow on her pretty, capable face.
“Brother has really gone crazy,” Carson said furiously. “Minister O’Connell is Uncle Nathan’s rival.”
Jason’s expression was filled with sadness. He was a failure of a father. He did not educate his son
well. “It’s my fault. After Sarah’s incident was exposed, I should’ve sent him overseas by force. I
thought he was just stupid. I didn’t think he…”
He let out a long sigh after he spoke.
Wendy’s eyes reddened. “That child was deceived too badly by Sarah. His mental state is imbalanced.
He can’t stay in the country anymore this time. Jessica, arrange for a private flight to send him
overseas immediately. He shouldn’t return anymore in the future.”
Jason and Old Master Snow did not speak. They gave their silent agreement.
Jessica sat on the chair. She ran her fingers across the armrests unconsciously. Her gaze was
knowing. “Things have already come this far. Will sending Rodney overseas solve this?”
Everyone was taken aback.
Old Master Snow gave it some thought. He said, “You’re right. He has tarnished the reputation of the
prime minister’s office. Leaving the country so easily after the mess he caused will cause people to
think that the prime minister’s office can be simply challenged. In that case… Lock him up for some
time. Inform your second uncle about this.”
Jessica sighed mentally. It seemed her family had been peaceful for too long. Their edges had dulled
long ago. “Grandpa, things are already in this state. Do you guys think… Uncle Nathan will let Rodney
go overseas? Rodney wanted Uncle Nathan’s reputation to be utterly ruined this time. He wanted to
pull Uncle Nathan down from his position.”
Old Master Snow’s expression turned even more awful when that was mentioned.
Jason said resignedly, “I know. I’m furious too, but Rodney is my biological son, after all. He’s your
brother too. We can’t lock him up forever, right?”
“Dad, you guys might not know this, but Rodney is 100 times worse than you think.”
Jessica stood up. “Minister O’Connell said Rodney had incited him to look for forces outside the
country.”
“What?” Wendy was utterly shocked. “This… This can’t be. It must be Minister O’Connell who’s talking
nonsense.”
“Why would he talk nonsense?” Jessica asked calmly. “Rodney is already a chess piece that has lost
its use. Besides, although Minister O’Connell has ambitions, he has his limits and never interacts with
external influences. Every one of you is wise. Never mind if it were internal forces, but dragging
outsiders in changes the whole nature of things.”
In the living room, everyone went silent. Jason’s body was trembling. He barely managed to stay in his
seat by holding onto the chair.
Carson muttered, “This is terrifying. Brother was trying to…”
He did not finish his words, but everyone understood.
Jessica said coldly, “Since Rodney already has such thoughts, that’s more reason not to let him go
overseas. He hates Uncle Nathan a lot now. He despises us too. During these decades of years, he
grew up in the Snow family and later joined Snow Corporation. He even participated in the alternative
energy development project. If the confidential secrets he holds were to be leaked, you guys should
know the consequences even without me telling you.”
After she spoke, everyone drew in a sharp breath.
They were not fools. Just thinking about it, they knew the consequences were not something they could
bear.
