Country F was not far from Country R.Soon after Rodney checked in the hotel, his secretary handed him the schedule with a series of events. “Professor Abner has promised to meet us at 3:00 p.m.”“That’s good.”Rodney nodded. “Get the relevant documents ready. At night, we’re going to meet up with the CEO of Sara. We must secure Sara’s agency agreement during our trip to Country R this time.” His secretary said, “The CEO of Sara said something came up…”Rodney stopped in his tracks and looked at the secretary with his grim eyes. “Wasn’t everything agreed on earlier?”“I have no idea why the other party changed his mind at the last minute.” Rodney’s stare made the secretary’s scalp go numb. “You trash. Why are you still standing here? Go and investigate it now,” Rodney scolded him with a morose expression.“I’m sorry. I’ll do it right now.” The secretary swiftly left with an ashen face.Irritated, Rodney kicked the stool in front of him, his arms akimbo. He could not express
“Are you serious?”Rodney’s heart skipped a beat. Despite having experienced all kinds of business hardships, he could not help but express a grim look on his handsome face.“The medical aesthetic industry in Country R isn’t big. I’ve worked with Sara before, so I learned this piece of news first-hand.”Abner decided not to beat around the bush. He said frankly, “President Snow, if you had come to me with this pay two years ago, I surely would’ve worked with you. Indeed, Osher used to be the largest local brand in Australia with the best facilities and equipment. However, now that I’ve acquired this status, reputation is more important than remuneration. If I work with you and the products I develop do not sell well, it’ll tarnish my image. I can provide you with excellent products, but you might not be able to provide me with the best platform.”Rodney soon pulled himself together. “Professor Abner, any entrepreneur will have their highs and lows. Freycatheli has only been set up
Coincidentally, Rodney’s secretary phoned him at this time. “Oh no, Young Master Snow. I heard that Sara has already…”“I know. You don’t need to explain it. Go and find out where Freycatheli’s representative is staying.”“...Okay.”After leaving the cafe, Rodney kicked the tire of his car.Having lived for over 30 years, he felt that his life was getting more miserable. Just a few months ago, he had never ever thought that Freycatheli would be Osher’s strongest competitor.Hah. What did Freya say before this? She wanted to focus on cosmetics, so he strived to advertise Freycatheli for her.In the end, not only was she involved in cosmetics but also skincare products, shampoo, and conditioners. Freycatheli ventured into all the fields Osher was involved in.At this point, he understood what it meant to shoot himself in the foot.‘Freya, you’re vicious. You’re f*cking vicious.‘Are you trying to take revenge on me?‘Are you taking revenge on me for letting you down?’On the b
“You should know it better than anyone else.”Rodney’s frosty gaze rested on Hans’ face. “Hah. Previously, you said your girlfriend and family disapproved of you working for me. Tell me how much Catherine paid to headhunt my former right-hand man. I’m curious.”Hans looked down and said, “Miss Jones didn’t headhunt me. She hired me one week after I resigned.”“Do you think I’ll buy that?” Rodney scoffed. “No wonder most of the companies who used to work with Osher have gone to Freycatheli. Also, nobody knew that Sara was looking for an agent, yet Freycatheli got ahead of me and silently secured the agreement. You must be the one who leaked it. Hans, you’ve worked for me for many years, and you signed a confidentiality agreement. You should be clear that I can hold you accountable for leaking the company’s confidential information even though you’ve resigned.”“I wasn’t the one who leaked it,” Hans said nonchalantly, “Don’t make groundless accusations against me.”“Hah. You won’t a
Rodney’s heart jerked.He turned and glared at the woman who was smiling vaguely. His heart fell into a deep abyss in spite of himself. “Just based on your ability?”“Yes.”Catherine nodded nonchalantly. Instead of staying there, she left along with her bodyguards and Hans.Staring at her figure, Rodney was so annoyed and infuriated that he wished he could tear her into pieces.If Catherine had made such remarks in the past, he would just see her as a laughingstock.However, he would not do that now. Catherine had support from Shaun, Titus, Matthew, and her biological mother, who wanted to please her and make things up to her. Even those tycoons in the world were going out of their way to butter Catherine up.If Catherine was adamant about dealing with him, he might be no match for her without the Snow family and executive council as his support.Rodney had never thought that Catherine would be his competitor after he married Sarah.At present, Osher was his most capable compa
By the way, Freya must have gone to Country F for training. Who was taking care of Dani, then?Rodney swiftly dialed Wendy’s number. “Mom, have you visited Dani recently?”“Yeah. I visited her just yesterday,” Wendy replied.“Freya has gone to Country F for a two-month training. Why didn’t you take Dani home?” “What? Freya has gone for training?” Wendy was astonished. “I didn’t know.”“Didn’t anyone from The Lodge inform you?” Rodney’s handsome face darkened.“Your uncle and aunt have been very busy after the new year. I never saw them every time I went there.” Wendy said in surprise, “I was under the impression that Freya was at work during the day and would return home at night after work. I didn’t hear the news from Aunty Loretta, who looks after Dani. If I had known this earlier, I would’ve taken Dani home. How could I feel relieved having an outsider take care of Dani?”Rodney instantly grasped the point. “Mom, it must be Freya who’s deliberately hiding it from you. Perhap
“I didn’t say that I’ll let Sarah take care of Dani. You could’ve sent Dani to the Snow family’s old residence.”Rodney glanced at Freya before he snorted and said, “But since you’re too busy to take care of Dani, I’ve decided to fight for Dani’s custody. I know you won’t be happy with this, but after arriving in Australia tomorrow, I’ll file a lawsuit in court. Back then, the odds of success weren't in my favor, but it’s different now. Your family isn’t in Canberra, and you’re not by Dani’s side. For the sake of Dani’s mental health, the judge will certainly grant me her custody.”“How dare you?!” Freya trembled all over from her rage. From the look in her eyes, it seemed like she could not wait to eat him up. “I’ll only be away for two months, but what about you? You’re managing a few companies. Don’t you always go out on business trips and socialize too?”“Speaking of this, I forgot to tell you that I bumped into your good friend in Country R. She wants to take revenge on your be
Somehow, Freya seemed to have found refuge and gradually calmed down. “Ryan, Rodney came to look for me just now. He said he’ll file a lawsuit for Dani’s custody. Considering that I’m away now, I might not have a realistic chance of winning this case.”“Let him go ahead, then.”Ryan smiled and said coolly, “Freya, on the day you left for training, I expected that Rodney would find out about it sooner or later. I personally enjoy planning ahead. If he really plans to file a lawsuit, I believe he’ll dismiss it before going to court because he can’t possibly win.”Freya froze. “Why?”Ryan explained softly, “Because I’ve gathered a lot of evidence of Sarah often abusing animals in private. Since he has such a wife, the judge will deem the child’s safety to be at risk, so it’s impossible that the judge will grant him custody.”“How did you know this?” Freya was stupefied.“I assigned someone to keep an eye on Sarah during this period. It’s in her nature to be cruel. After she became d
