A month ago, he felt so satisfied as if he was the happiest man in the world.
He had a family, a wife, a child, and his career. In his vision, he even predicted that he would enter the top 1oo of the global billionaire rankings in the near future.
However, he had lost everything.
He could not accept reality and smashed the cup. His eyes were bloodshot from anger.
In the director’s office on the top floor.
Jessica knocked on the door and entered. Jason stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows expressionlessly with his hands behind his back.
“Dad, sorry to have made you wait. I was talking to Rodney in the meeting room just now, so I was delayed.”
Her cool voice resounded in the office.
Jason turned around and studied his daughter closely for a while. Then, he walked to her front and slapped her across the face.
“Very well. You deceived me and joined hands with the board of directors to attack your biological brother. I only saw through it today. go percent of the company’s directors are leaning toward you, while the others fear you. Am I supposed to hand over my position to you after some time as well?”
Jason pointed at Jessica furiously.
He could not lash out in the meeting room just now.
He had been in his position for tens of years. Every employee had been obedient under his management. It was only today he realized the daughter he taught was already able to step on his shoulders.
Jessica was capable. Jason, as her father, would naturally feel proud. However, that did not mean his daughter could disobey and go against him.
A burning pain spread across Jessica’s face. She blinked her eyes hard and met Jason’s gaze. “Dad, you’re right. Your position can only be mine.”
“How dare you?!” Jason’s finger that was pointing at Jessica was trembling. “You’re delusional. I think your eyes have been clouded by power.”
“Why can’t I?” Although Jessica had known that she had no inheritance rights, she was still hurt and dissatisfied hearing those words from her father. ” I’ve been in the company for ten years. I’ve worked hard during these ten years and contributed my all to the Snow family and Snow Corporation. No one deserves your position more than me.”
“Stop having unrealistic thoughts.”
Jason scolded, “You’re a woman. We told you a long time ago that you can only have Snow Corporation’s shares. No matter which one of your brothers takes over, your position will not change. You’ll never be short of money in your life. Have you forgotten what you had said to me and your grandpa? You said that you’re the sister so you’ll take care and protect your brothers.”
“When I take over your position, I’ll still take care and protect them well.” Jessica’s expression did not change. Her gaze was like a sharp knife. “All these years, I’ve been careful. Among us three siblings, I’m the most obedient. So what if I’m a woman? Am I not your child? When the company wasn’t doing well back then, I sacrificed my happiness and became a widow at a young age for the company. Uncle Nathan wanted to be the prime minister. I was the one who ran around and opened up connections. When you were sick and having surgery, I was the one who supported the company alone. I was so tired that I slept in the company for a month without returning home. I’m human too, not the Snow family’s tool.”
Jason felt uncomfortable hearing Jessica’s words. Traces of shame welled up in his heart too.
However, there were some things that he could not back down on. ” I admit that you’ve sacrificed a lot for the Snow family. I’ll communicate with your grandpa to give you more of Snow Corporation’s shares.”
“Are you talking about changing my initial 15 percent of shares to 20 percent?” Jessica laughed sarcastically. “Both of my brothers have 30 percent of the shares respectively. Even their future children will have shares when they’re born. What about me?”
Jason’s expression changed. That was an agreement that Old Master Snow had set up privately. No one else knew about it besides him. “How did you know that?”
“I know more than you all do.”
Jessica closed her eyes. When she opened them again, the desolateness and sadness inside them were gone. Her eyes were just ice-cold now.
“Jessica, this isn’t something that I can decide.”
In the end, Jason said helplessly, “Although your grandpa is usually open-minded, he’s still from the older generation. Some perceptions are hard to change. If you keep making a scene, you might end up without any shares at all. Listen to me. Give up on your ideas. I’ll help you keep today’s incident down.”
“You don’t have to do that. I can tell you this clearly.”
Jessica’s gaze was sharp. “I want 50 percent of the company’s shares. Transfer them to me within a week. Otherwise, I’ll start another company with all the resources and connections here. I’ll even take Snowden away.”
“Are you kidding me?” Jason’s pupils constricted. He looked as if he had heard a joke.
“I can tell you with certainty that Master Porter of Snowden is on my side. Master Porter has already won over all of Snowden’s core members. All of the Snow family’s information is in my hands now.”
Jessica’s patience was running low. “That’s how I got to know about the agreement that Grandpa set up. I even know the password to his safe. Moreover, haven’t you figured out why all of the company’s directors listened to me today? By having Snowden, they can’t hide any more secrets from me.
“Grandpa’s perspectives are old-fashioned, but he’s a wise man. He has to accept that he’s old and needs to retire. It’s not his place to take care of some matters of the Snow family anymore.”
Jessica’s pretty face was as cold as ice. “In the past, I wanted him to be in charge. Therefore, I turned a blind eye. But now, I don’t want him to be in charge anymore. Dad, you shouldn’t let Snow Corporation meet its downfall in your hands.”
“You…”
Jason widened his eyes. His breathing quickened.
It was too shocking.
All of them had not noticed anything at all.
He had always thought that Snowden was in Rodney’s hands.
“Jessica, when did you start having these ideas? Have you been thinking of acquiring Snow Corporation since a long time ago?”
Jason gazed at his daughter with a complicated look. He realized that he had never understood her. Perhaps it was Jessica who had disguised herself well.
“Jessica, some things aren’t as simple as you think. What the Snow family is today and the smooth development of Snow Corporation is also thanks to your uncle paving the way in the political world… “
The door to the office was pushed open all of a sudden. Ryan, who was wearing a black jacket, entered with style.
“Jessica, how’s the discussion going between you and Uncle?”
Ryan’s pleasant smile was like the spring breeze.
“We’re in the middle of discussing, ” Jessica said calmly.
Jason was stunned when he saw Ryan. “Ryan, you…”
“Uncle, I’ve communicated with my dad regarding Jessica’s plans. My parents think that it’s best if Jessica inherits your position.”
Ryan smiled and said, “It’s okay if you don’t want to step down for now. Just ask Grandpa to hand over 50 percent of the shares to Jessica temporarily. Of course, I understand your worries. Therefore, I suggest that if Jessica were to remarry, her child who’ll inherit Snow Corporation in the future must have the last name Snow. If Jessica’s child is incapable of handling the responsibility, we can choose one of Carson’s future children as well for the sake of Snow Corporation’s future. As for Rodney’s children, only Dani can be in the running. His other children… They’re not allowed.”
Jessica pressed her intricate lips together and did not say a word, but she had already given her silent agreement.
After feeling shocked, Jason laughed bitterly. “No wonder Jessica dares to be so fearless in front of me. It turns out that you all have colluded earlier on.
Ryan, why are you doing this?”
Ryan smiled faintly. “It’s for my future, of course. My dad is the prime minister. Even if I can’t become the prime minister, I can still rank below the prime minister and be above everybody else. Snow Corporation is the crucial aid that I depend on.
Rodney’s private life is a mess. He believes in everything Sarah says. He’s too easily deceived. The saying goes that there should be a strong woman behind every successful man. I’ll never leave such weakness with me. It’ll be troublesome if it drags me down. Therefore, I must quickly remove those weaknesses.
“As for Carson, he’s not mature and steady enough. He’s not ruthless enough either. Thus, I think Jessica is the most suitable person.
“My dad and I are only hoping that the Snow family can go further. Since Rodney likes Sarah, we’ll fulfill his wishes and let them be together. He’s divorced anyway, and he intends to marry Sarah.
“Uncle, it’s already the new generation. Some of Grandpa’s and your ideas should’ve been eliminated long ago. To be honest, when my dad was running for prime minister, he wouldn’t have been able to assume that position if it weren’t for Jessica and me.”
“Alright. It’s the young people’s world now. I’m old. I don’t want to care anymore.”
Jason waved his hand. He smiled bitterly. He finally understood. Rodney was a disappointment. He was dragged down by Sarah in the end.
However, Ryan’s words were logical. Sarah was a scheming woman, yet Rodney believed in everything she said as if he was brainwashed. It was indeed detrimental toward future developments.
“Uncle, think positively. They’re all your children anyway.”
Ryan smiled and winked. “You should be happy to have taught such a great daughter like Jessica.”
Jason was speechless.
Yes. He should be happy, but he felt like crying too.
After leaving the office, Ryan extended his hand naturally. “Jessica, congratulations. Everything is within your control now. Grandpa will still have to give you the shares even if he’s unwilling.”
“Thank you.” Jessica shook his hand. She suddenly asked, “Are you really helping me only because I can be a better helper for you?”
