Daughters were always precious in the hearts of their parents.“Mr. Lynch, Mrs. Lynch, I came here today to let you know about my feelings for Freya. I don’t mean to disturb Freya and the two of you. If my parents disapprove of our relationship despite my hard work, I won’t come over and demand your approval…”Mr. Lynch suddenly said with a snort, “Since you don’t plan to demand it, it shows that your feelings for my daughter are so-so. If your parents can easily stop you from getting in a relationship with Freya, that means your relationship with her is fragile. My daughter won’t want you as well.” Stunned, Freya finally looked up. “Dad…”Deep down, Ryan was delighted. “Of course, I don’t plan to give up easily. In fact, even if my parents disapprove of us being together, I can live with Freya in another place as long as she agrees. I believe I’m capable enough to stand firm without being forced by my parents and protect the Lynch family’s safety. Nevertheless… I don’t want to in
“This kid is amazing.” Mrs. Lynch sighed. “He also helped us have our land approved, which allowed Lynch Corporation to gain a foothold in Canberra. Also, he recommended this villa to us…” “He’s scheming.” Mr. Lynch lamented. “Sure enough, he’s Nathan’s son.”“It’s normal for men to be scheming in the pursuit of love. It’s fine as long as he’s not wicked,” Mrs. Lynch said, “What’s more, if it hadn’t been for Ryan’s help, would our daughter have managed to take Dani with her safely? In truth, Wendy is annoyed as well. After all, Rodney is her biological son. If not for Ryan, the Snow family might not have gone against Rodney.”Mr. Lynch admitted that what Mrs. Lynch said was true.“As I said, I’m fine as long as Ryan’s parents approve of their relationship. Anyway, they’re just in a relationship. They’re not getting married.”Mr. Lynch snorted. “Those people in Melbourne used to secretly laugh at my daughter for being divorced, didn’t they? So what if she’s divorced? Even so, my d
Jessica laughed. “You’re such a responsible person, and you’re a lot more promising than Rodney. What do you plan to do next? What I can tell you is that no one will back you. Even my parents are mad. I don’t know what Rodney has told them, but it seems that they’re eager to get Dani’s custody back.”Ryan immediately flew into a rage. “Rodney must’ve told them that I started flirting with Freya before she got a divorce. When he thought of that, he criticized Freya in public for cuckolding him and called her a b*tch. To put it simply, he blamed me for causing them to end in divorce while portraying himself as a victim.” “Why did Rodney… become like this?” Jessica was dumbfounded. She could not believe the person Ryan was describing was her biological brother. “Jessica, I’ve never kept you in the dark about my relationship with Freya. She’s a woman of integrity,” Ryan said brutally, “As long as Rodney has a guilty conscience, I can continue treating him as my cousin and family mem
Rodney stood behind Old Master Snow. The moment he noticed Ryan’s arrival, he said in agitation, “Grandpa, Uncle Nathan, he’s here. I told you earlier that Ryan and Freya have been secretly flirting with each other, but you didn’t believe me. The two of them have been lying to us and tricking us as though we’re fools. Ryan must explain himself today.”After Ryan heard what Rodney said, his handsome face flashed with a trace of sarcasm. Even so, he was not in a hurry to speak.“Ryan, you really let me down. I’m disappointed in you.” Old Master Snow rapped the floor with the walking cane he was gripping. “Are there no women left in the world? You got together with your cousin’s ex-wife. Have you no shame? If the news spreads, how is the Snow family going to face other people?”“The Snow family has already lost its dignity recently, so what I’ve done won’t make it any worse.” Ryan replied derisively. “Ryan Snow!” Nathan slammed the table in rage. “Watch your attitude. Why did I giv
“Oh. No wonder Freya found out that I lied to her. You were the one who made a big deal out of it behind my back.” Rodney was fuming. “You’re my cousin. Shouldn’t you cover up for me or let me know in advance? Who’s your family? Freya or me? Obviously, you couldn’t wait for us to be divorced.”A look of sarcasm washed over Ryan’s face. “You had an affair and it was my mistake for not covering up for you? I should’ve let you get along well with your lover out there and lie to your wife for you, huh? You’re disgusting, aren’t you?”“Who’s disgusting? I’m not as disgusting as you are.”Unable to put up with Ryan, Rodney dashed toward him and fought with him.“Hurry up and separate them.” Old Master Snow promptly gave an order.Carson, Nathan, and Jason swiftly pulled them away.“Let go of me! Ryan, you stole my wife and made me a cuck. I’ll never forget what you did to me!” Rodney roared. Heidi pressed her temples that jerked before she thundered, “Rodney, if you continue to make
“Do you think she cares about the miserly dividends? She has never been concerned about money because she grew up in a rich and loving family.”Ryan could not help but criticize, “Do you know what she’s deprived of? Take now, for example. I like her and want to be with her, but all of you are stopping us. And what's the reason for that? It’s because she’s a divorcee and has a child. As a divorced woman, other people will see her as a used good. They will mock and look down on her, yet all of you think she’s taking advantage of the Snow family. How absurd.” Heidi and Wendy fell quiet at the same time.However, Rodney disagreed. “If it hadn’t been for the Snow family’s protection, would Freycatheli be so successful?”“Oh yeah, it’s all thanks to our family. Her friend, Catherine, was only for display, huh?” Ryan asked incisively, “Is it also thanks to our family that Freycatheli has been doing well after you guys got a divorce?”Rodney’s face was burning, but he was still dissatisf
Ryan soon pulled himself together and said in a nonchalant tone, “Dad, are we really that powerful? Look at Rodney, whom all of you used to have high expectations of, destroyed by Sarah alone. You can ask Carson whether he wants his descendants to bear that weight on their shoulders. To put it bluntly, if it hadn’t been for Jessica, no one would’ve inherited Snow Corporation.”“If it were someone else, they might not be capable.” Old Master Snow looked at him. “But with Jessica’s and your ability, it’s possible.”“Grandpa, have you asked Jessica?” Ryan said, “Jessica takes my side. We’re on the same page.”Everyone was stunned, and Old Master Snow’s expression was awful.Rodney snorted. “Ryan, you’re very cunning. No wonder you persuaded your parents earlier to approve of Jessica being the president of Snow Corporation. You’ve been plotting the whole thing from that moment on.”After pausing for a moment, he turned to look at Nathan. “Uncle Nathan, don’t you understand? He has lon
“Exactly.” Jason nodded. “Ryan, when did you… become like Rodney?”“Don’t lump us together.”Ryan’s indifferent tone was filled with disdain. “Dad, it’s true that the Snow family has nurtured me. However, you should know that ever since I graduated and started working for you, I wholeheartedly assisted you in becoming the prime minister. Especially during those few years when you were running for the position, I helped you to pull strings and suppress those who turned against you. Even when Senator Mead betrayed you, I personally instigated those on his side to revolt against him. You can’t focus on your own sacrifice and neglect my effort.”At that moment, Nathan felt extremely embarrassed. “So that means I’ve been riding on your coattails, huh?”“Dad, you said you wanted to train me while I serve as your secretary and that you’d appoint me a higher position later. But in fact, you appointed me this position only because you don’t have anyone trustworthy around you.”Ryan counter
