– “Rodney, if you had said this earlier, I would’ve been gratified.”
Jessica stood one meter away from Rodney. Her eyes on her pretty face rested on Rodney for quite a
while before she responded.
Rodney was stunned. If he were not tied up, he would certainly stand up. At that moment, all he could
do was struggle. “Jessica, what are you trying to do? I’m your brother, your biological brother, but
you’re not going to let me off because of such a trifle, huh? Indeed, I shouldn’t have turned against
Second Uncle. But think about my feelings. Ryan, that b*stard, has snatched my wife and child away,
leaving me with nothing. As a man, how can I keep quiet about it?”
He still refused to admit his mistakes.
Jessica’s deep gaze conveyed a sense of frustration, helplessness, and sorrow.

2 As she remained quiet, Rodney grew anxious.
He lost his composure and said in an agitated tone, “Jessica, you need to get this straight. I’m not your
stumbling block, and I’ve never thought of snatching what’s yours. All I want to deal with is Ryan.
You’re my biological sister, whom I’ve always respected and loved. No matter how close Ryan is to
you, he’s not your biological brother. What’s more, that guy is scheming. He might be going against me
now, but he can do the same to you in the future.”
“Enough.”
Jessica could not bring herself to listen to it. How did her brother turn into such a despicable person?
“Rodney, I regret it a lot. As your sister, I thought that nothing would matter as long as you were happy.
Because of that, you’ve never shouldered any responsibilities since you were young. You’ve been living
so freely and unscrupulously that it made you so selfish.”
“Who’s selfish?” Rodney found the situation strange. “Jessica, don’t give me that glorified excuse. Get
Dad and Mom over here. I have something to tell them.”
“They won’t come over. They’re very disappointed in you.”
“Are they really disappointed or are you tearing us apart?” Rodney began to struggle hard. “Jessica, I’m
saying it once more. I won’t snatch what’s yours, so you don’t have to treat me as a thorn in your side.”
Jessica’s eyes flashed with contempt. “Do you think I need to treat you as a thorn in my side? Rodney,
don’t think too highly of yourself.”
With her competence, it was all too easy for her to snatch Snow Corporation away. She could have
done it a few years ago, but she did not because she did not want to turn against her parents. She was
forced to come this far.
Rodney did not believe her. “Jessica, stop pretending. I know you’ve been eying the position in Snow
Corporation for a long time. On the surface, it may seem like you’ve been treating me well over the
years, but it was all an act for me to let my guard down. I really don’t understand why you won’t let me
off even though I have nothing left. Are you human at all? You’re the sister whom I care about most.
We’re a family. Is power really so important that you want to cut loose from me?”
Toward the end of his sentence, his eyes reddened in sorrow.
Clap, clap.
Suddenly, a few claps sounded from outside the door.
“Rodney, your acting is brilliant.”
Ryan walked in slowly as he clapped. Following behind him were two people in white coats.
Rodney’s eyes narrowed, and the anxiety inside him grew.
Ryan stared intently at Rodney. “Look, Rodney, you’re actually smart. To think you would feign pity and
try to trigger Jessica at such a crucial moment so that she would sympathize with you. Unfortunately,
you didn’t do it in the right way.”
“Jessica, you really are colluding with him. What are you trying to do? Are you trying to k**l your
biological brother?” Rodney bellowed in rage, but he was tied up tightly. “Let me go. Ryan, you’re such
a despicable person.”
