[I’m Freya’s university coursemate. She’s pretty nice. My family’s financial situation was bad back then, so I was often mocked for wearing old clothes. Freya was the one who stood up for me and helped me. She was already good friends with Catherine back then. Although their families were well-off in Melbourne, they were both nice people.][I remember too. Freya and Catherine were the University of Melbourne’s campus belles. They didn’t like going out to fool around as well.][Since Freya’s first love has stepped up, it should be true. They had dated for a few years, so he must know Freya well. Moreover, it seems like he regrets not cherishing her back then.][Rodney should just get lost. Stop showing up and disgusting people.][Learn from Freya’s first love. Although they had broken up, he had realized his mistakes, and he didn’t talk bad about his girlfriend.][Please, don’t you guys know Rodney likes lunatics like Sarah? Can he be a proper and nice person?][That’s right. I ca
“The prime minister thinks that Ryan’s personal matters have caused a commotion, which has brought great negative influence upon the prime minister’s office. As the prime minister, he can’t show favoritism because Ryan is his son. After this, Secretary Snow will not be participating in work related to internal government affairs. He’s planning to further his studies and pursue a Ph.D.”The reporter asked, “Is the prime minister supportive of Ryan and Freya being together?”“The prime minister is neither supportive nor against it. He thinks that Secretary Snow is an adult. Love is about freedom, and he can’t meddle in those affairs. However, the prime minister and his wife have officially ended their relationship with Freya as godparents and goddaughter.”The interview was swiftly uploaded on the internet. When Freya, who had yet left for the company, saw it, she was shocked. She did not expect Ryan to resign out of the blue. No, it was not out of the blue. He did mention in his
The call ended.Freya’s heart that had been hanging since last night finally calmed down. Thinking closely, many things had happened ever since she came to Canberra.When she got divorced, she often suspected that she was a failure as a woman. She had felt despair, outrage, and sadness. However, on that day, the netizens were on her side. Many unfamiliar alumni from back then stood up for her, and even Patrick voiced out for her. She suddenly thought she was not a failure, after all. A person would experience many things in life. There were good things and bad things. As long as people stayed true to themselves, there would still be fairness in the world.Something fake would always be fake, and if one had not done something, then nothing could change that. …In Minister O’Connell’s villa. When Rodney saw that most of the comments on the internet were scolding him, he smashed his phone on the spot with a twisted expression. He never thought Patrick would stand up
Although Minister O’Connell knew Nathan’s son was not simple, he did not think Ryan would be so seasoned at his young age. Every step of his was calculated. Ryan might just go further than his father in the future. Rodney gazed at the ground in a daze. He was in disbelief. After everything he went through, he did not manage to ruin Freya and Ryan. Instead, he made the people support their relationship.Why did things turn out this way?What about those two people was worth being congratulated?“Minister O’Connell, our young master had troubled you last night. I’m deeply sorry.”The sound of footsteps came from the door. At that time, a deep voice rang from the direction of the door. Rodney raised his head abruptly. It was Master Snow of Snowden, who entered with a few subordinates behind him. “I’m the one who should apologize for having made you all wait at the door for a whole night.” Minister O’Connell smiled nonchalantly while holding a cup of tea. “I’ll drink this a
“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 sendin
Old Master Snow looked as if he had aged a lot in an instant. He thought he had been pretty successful all along. Looking back, he was an utter failure. What demon did he create for the Snow family?Jason did not say a word.Rodney was his favorite, but he would not be so muddled as to continue begging for leniency. Wendy said agonizingly, “Jessica, do you expect us just to watch Rodney die? No matter what, he’s still your biological brother. Don’t you have any other way? I just want him to be alive. I’m not thinking of anything else.”Jessica felt bitter. However, she could only say calmly, “Let Uncle Nathan’s family make the decision. This issue isn’t one that I can decide by myself.”Everyone simply stared at each other. In the end, the living room regained its peace again.…Ryan and his family only knew about the matter in the evening. In the official residence, Nathan rubbed the middle of his brows with a fatigued expression. He smiled bitterly. “What a person the Sno
Upon hearing that, Nathan and Ryan went silent. After a long while, Nathan said resignedly in a low voice, “Let’s do as your mom said. I’ll talk to your uncle about this. I think they’ll agree to this. Your aunt said that it’s enough as long as Rodney is alive.”Ryan did not say anything else. He simply sighed and felt a heaviness in his heart. Being a bad guy was fine, but a person had to have limits. Rodney was so bad to the extent that he had no limits. Therefore, he was fated to end up miserable.…5:00 p.m. Ryan drove his car to look for Freya. He could finally enter her place openly with the identity of her boyfriend. He even bought a beautiful bouquet on the way. When he arrived at the Lynch family’s courtyard, Freya, who had been waiting for the whole day, opened the door and ran out as soon as she heard the sound of a car.Ryan stood with his back facing the light. He wore a white hoodie and a pair of blue jeans. His straight, slender figure left a long shado
In the living room, Mr. Lynch, Mrs. Lynch, and Forrest were present. Mr. Lynch’s expression was pretty gentle, while Forrest had a hardened face that was cold and expressionless.Ryan did not take it too seriously. His future brother-in-law had always had that expression anyway. He had never seen him smiling. “Mr. Lynch, Mrs. Lynch, I’m sorry. I’ve caused a lot of trouble to you two during these two days.” The first thing Ryan did after entering was apologize. “However, I truly love Freya. Our parents are no longer against us. I hope both of you will allow Freya and me to be in a relationship.”Mr. Lynch let out a harrumph on purpose. “Even if we disagree, aren’t you two already dating? My daughter ran out immediately after hearing the sound of the car. She’s been waiting for you all day.”Freya, who was exposed so soon, blushed and glared at her father in frustration. She stomped her feet. “Dad… It’s just because I’m touched. He even resigned from his job for me…”“Ryan, did you
