Freya was dumbfounded. “Employees shouldn’t badmouth their bosses, especially during working hours. However, being able to take up a supervisor's position meant they’ve been working there for a long time, or they’ve been there since the establishment of the company. Rodney told them to get lost in the presence of so many people… This is too… petty of him.”“Hasn’t he been petty all along?” Catherine said honestly. “Yes. He’s petty in his private life, but he shouldn’t be like that for work. He’s the boss. Quarreling with employees in public is undignified. If it were me, I’d handle their mistake of chatting during working hours according to the company’s rules. Then, I’d wait for some time and make them leave only after I found new employees. Of course, if the said employees’ performance in work is outstanding, I won’t fire them.”Freya said, “Although employees are our subordinates, they’re an independent entity. Everyone has pride.”“You’re right.” Catherine smiled. “We understa
Freya was unaware that she was on the trending searches again in the evening. It was only for a brief while. Even so, many people had noticed it, including Heidi and Nathan.In the dining room at night.Just as Heidi and Nathan finished their dinner, the secretary handed a stack of documents. “Rumors about Miss Lynch having a charmed life that have been circulating online came from this ID. After investigating it, I found out that the person is the former assistant of the third disciple of the well-known Master Jukes in Canberra.” “Master Jukes?” Nathan frowned. The name rang a bell.Many wealthy families in Canberra had connections with Alfred Jukes in private. It was said that he was an ace at fortune-telling.Although Nathan did not quite believe in such things, he would still enquire about matters related to safety and marriage, considering that he had been holding a top position in recent years.A couple of years ago, Alfred paid a visit to the Snow family’s residence. Ther
Nathan went silent for a few seconds before he nodded.“What a shame.” Heidi let out a long sigh. “It would’ve been wonderful if Freya was matched with Ryan back then.”Nathan was stunned. Then, he frowned. “Stop talking nonsense.”“I was just saying.” Heidi smiled. She turned around and asked the servant, “Is Freya back yet?”“No, Miss Lynch said she’ll be working overtime in the lab tonight.”“This kid is really hard-working.” Heidi wore an approving smile despite making such a comment.“Weren’t you hard-working when you were young too?” Nathan mocked, “Whenever I asked you out on a date, you were either working overtime or on your way to work.”“Women should always have careers. Considering that Freya treats everything so seriously, I believe she’ll be able to go a long way.”Heidi was increasingly content with her goddaughter.…The Snow family’s old residence.After Wendy hung up, she turned around, only to find Rodney standing behind her in a daze.“Mom, is what you j
“Rodney, I’m really busy here. I have no time to argue with you. I’m hanging up now.”Once the call was hung up on the other end, Rodney tightened his hold on his phone with a grim expression.He did not care about Ryan’s motive. Anyhow, he had to stop Freya from getting together with Ryan.In addition, this was an absolute joke.…When Rodney almost fell asleep late at night, he received a WhatsApp message from Sarah. [Rodney, when are you coming back? I’ve figured it out. I hope we can get a divorce.]He was stunned and found it rather incredulous.Sarah was asking for a divorce?He was astonished and slightly dazed for a moment.Did Sarah mean it or was she trying to gain an advantage by making this concession?If this had happened in the past, he would not have perceived Sarah as a complicated person. However, ever since he saw the video of her abusing animals, his image of her had been totally ruined.He phoned her and asked, “Are you serious?”“There are many things t
“You won’t need to answer those questions. If you go overseas, no one will know you.” Rodney hesitated for a moment before he said, “It’s a good idea, but getting treated overseas might cost you a lot. I’ll give you a large sum of money to make sure you’ll be set for life.”“It’s fine. Aren’t you strapped for cash at the moment?”“It doesn’t matter. I owe it to you.”After hanging up, Rodney was a lot more relaxed.Despite feeling guilty toward Sarah, he did not want to keep their marriage anymore.He wanted to get Freya and Dani back. However, he knew that he had no right to do that if he did not divorce Sarah.Nevertheless… it was true that he did not have much money with him now.The next morning, Rodney looked for Jason after Jessica and Carson went to work. “Dad, I’d like to borrow some money from you—”“No way.” Jason waved his hand. He turned around, wanting to walk away.“Dad, it’s not much. I just want 50 million dollars,” Rodney promptly said, “I asked Sarah for a di
The attorney was speechless.He did not know what to say.He could not figure out why Rodney owed Sarah. Rodney had already given her such a large sum of money during their wedding. Now that they were divorcing, he was planning on giving her 100 million dollars, a villa, and a mansion. The houses that Rodney invested in were all strategically located and could potentially appreciate significantly in the future. He was very generous to Sarah. However, he was stingy to his ex-wife and child.The attorney had worked for many scumbags, but he rarely met such a muddle-headed person like Rodney.Nevertheless, he could not tell Rodney certain things. After all, he was not Rodney’s friend. He was just working for him.“By the way, give her the villa we’re currently staying in as well,” Rodney added.“...”The attorney was completely at a loss for words.…The Hill family’s manor.Catherine could not help but laugh at the sight of the copy of the divorce agreement. Her laughter was
In the villa.Rodney handed Sarah the agreement that his attorney had drawn up. “You said you want to get treated in the States, so I’m giving you a villa and a mansion. They’re strategically located, especially the mansion that’s located downtown. Besides that, I’ll also be giving you 100 million dollars… This is the maximum amount I can give you. I’m giving you all the cash I have with me and I also borrowed 50 million dollars from my dad…”“How could you borrow money from your dad?” With her eyes brimming with tears, Sarah swiftly said, “No way. I can’t accept this. Now is the most crucial time for your company. If you give me all the money you have, then what about you?”“I have some projects that I invested in recently. If it gets to that point, I can still get some money from selling them.”Rodney was secretly touched at how understanding she was. Although he had stopped loving her and did not want to be with her anymore, they were once married, after all. Therefore, he was s
When Grady answered the call, a middle-aged woman’s voice sounded. “Young Master Yeager, when should I let Young Master Snow know about it…”“The morning after tomorrow.”On the other end, the caller hesitated for a moment before saying, “But… you need to protect me. Once Miss Neeson finds out that I betrayed her… Her scary character…”“Don’t worry. Since I’ve promised you and even given you so many benefits, I’ll make sure your family is set for life after the issue is settled.”“Thank you, Young Master Yeager.”…Once his divorce was confirmed, Rodney soon had people move his things out to a large flat near his office.Two days later, he received his divorce certificate.The attorney said, “The procedures are settled. I’ve also handled the procedures for your housing, but the approval will take time.”Rodney gazed at the divorce certificate in his hand with mixed feelings.In just the span of a few months, he already had two divorce certificates.His thin lips parted. “Do
