Ryan smiled. He did not give a reply. He simply took out a box of medicine from his pocket and handed it to her. “I bought it on my way here. Apply it to your face. After all, you’re the president. Don’t let people make fun of you.” “You can really predict everything accurately.” Jessica accepted the medicine. She said, “Rodney might not know that he lost not because of me but because he shouldn’t have been on opposing sides with you. You like Mireya, don’t you?”
Ryan raised his eyebrows. “Jessica, you’re so smart.”
“You too.”
Jessica gave him a weird gaze. Then, she suddenly thought of something and chuckled. “Do you know why my parents and even Grandpa hoped Rodney could marry Mireya? Actually, no matter how good her character is, she’s just an elite lady from a small place. She even had embarrassing scandals before.”
“Were there other reasons for that?” Ryan showed a rare expression of curiosity.
Jessica looked outside the window of the corridor. ” Last year, my mom took Mireya’s birth date to a fortune-teller, Master Roberts, to check her fortune. My mom asked me to accompany her that day. Master Roberts said that Mireya’s life would be extravagant since young and that she would be showered with love by her parents, but her love life would be bumpy. However, after overcoming that, she would have good fortune like queens in ancient times. She would also bring good luck to her husband and family. I didn’t believe in these things, but older people do.”
When she paused for a moment, she saw Ryan smiling. “We thought the bumpy part of Mireya’s love life was referring to her previous relationship and the incident involving Thomas and Sarah. After that, Sarah left, so we thought Mireya and Rodney had finally overcome all adversities. My parents felt that Rodney’s fortune was almost equivalent to a prince in ancient times, so his wife would surely have a queen’s fortune too. Thinking back, it was wrong. Mireya’s fortune might be better than that… “
“I see.”
Ryan was astonished for a moment. Then, he chuckled. “I believe in this reading. Look at how successful Rodney’s career became after he married Mireya. Actually, I started liking Mireya a long time ago, but I didn’t share a good enough fate with her. I showed up later, but I’ve never thought of snatching her away. After all, they already have a child. Since I love her, it’s enough seeing her happy. Unfortunately, a certain someone could not give her happiness. Therefore, I decided to make her happy myself.”
“I think nobody will give you two their blessing. Mireya might even find it absurd herself.” Jessica shook her head.
“Haven’t you heard of making someone let their guard down? I’ll first make her unable to leave me. Then, she’ll gradually fall in love with me. When she realizes it, I would’ve already become an essential part of her life like oxygen.”
Ryan’s expression was full of confidence. “When I like someone, I won’t care about what others think. To be honest, I don’t put much emphasis on power. However, some choices can’t be made in our family. Just like you. Do you truly want Snow Corporation? You can even create a second or third Snow Corporation with your abilities. It’s just that… you won’t be satisfied.”
Jessica did not know whether to laugh or cry. Indeed, she had some dissatisfaction.
She did not expect that the person who understood her the most would be Ryan.
“Ryan, I wish you success in advance.”
Ryan took the elevator down to the parking lot.
Just as he walked out and was about to head toward his car, a white sports car stopped in front of him all of a sudden.
The car’s door opened upward. Rodney’s long legs touched the floor, and he got out of the car. “You really appeared. When did you start conspiring with my sister?”
“Rodney, why are you still here? I thought you would’ve gone to the police station to make a report.”
Ryan smiled and said, “Didn’t you say that you’ll go to the police station and accuse Mireya of kidnapping if she didn’t give Dani to you today? Hah, but Snow Corporation has already made a public statement dismissing your position. I think the police might not even talk to you.”
Rodney felt as if his face was slapped hard. He lost.
He knew that he had failed miserably, and he could sense Ryan’s sarcasm.
That feeling was too f*cking awful. He would rather lose to Jessica than Ryan.
Maybe it was because Ryan was his brother, or maybe… It was because Ryan kept helping Mireya. There was also an ambiguous relationship going on between them.
“Ryan, you utilized your position to cover the truth. Look who’s talking. ” Rodney’s pretty eyes had a furious, icy gleam. “Protecting criminals and oppressing your brother. Is this your principle?”
“Yes. I’m not as selfless as you are. You even have it in you to send your wife to prison, ” Ryan mocked.
“She’s no longer my wife. Since the day she became a kidnapper, she had no right to be my wife,” Rodney shouted angrily, “You’d better be careful at all times. Don’t let what you’ve done today become a tool that’s used to make you fall from the top in the future. There aren’t any permanent loopholes in this world.”
“You’re wrong. You’re the only one talking about the kidnapping. Do you have witnesses?”
Ryan shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. “If you’re talking about those people from Snowden who rushed inside with you that day, are you sure they’re still willing to be your witnesses? Or did Sarah see with her own eyes that the person who tortured her was Mireya?”
Upon listening to those words, Rodney clenched his fists.
His handsome face gradually lost its usual radiance in the dark parking lot. He looked dispirited as well.
“Rodney, people are always aiming to go higher. When you’re the person who holds the major right of inheritance in the Snow family, everyone will be flattering you. When you lose that right, everyone will avoid you. You must’ve experienced that feeling before.”
Ryan gave him a rare gentle gaze. “Nevertheless, this is a good ending for you. Haven’t you been feeling guilty toward Sarah all along? You think that she sacrificed her happiness to let you return to the Snow family back then. It looks like everything is back to square one. You two can finally be with each other. She’s still alive. You can treat her well for the rest of your life.”
However, perhaps Sarah would not treat Rodney as well as before if he lost the right to inherit Snow Corporation.
Ryan did not say those words out loud. Some truths were better discovered by Rodney himself.
The moment Rodney saw Sarah’s true colors clearly would be the moment when it was too late for him to regret.
Nevertheless, by that time, Ryan would not let Rodney have the chance to woo Mireya back.
“Happiness?” Rodney looked as if he had heard a joke. “Her limbs are disabled and her face is disfigured. How can she be happy? Ryan, I never thought you would be so cruel. No matter how much you hate Sarah, she’s still human. Don’t you have any compassion?”
“Isn’t having you by her side her greatest happiness? After all, she loves you so much, ” Ryan said sincerely while hiding the mocking in his eyes. “Otherwise, if you were to inherit Snow Corporation and Sarah marries you, she’d think that she doesn’t deserve you because she’s a disabled and disfigured woman, right?”
“Shut your mouth.”
Rodney could not bear to continue listening anymore. He was like a firecracker that was ignited. “Stop pretending, Ryan. You’ve schemed and done so much. Isn’t it because you’re coveting Mireya? Ha, you’ll never have her. The prime minister’s son wanting to marry his sister-in- law and godsister will be a joke to the whole of Australia. No one will accept that.”
“Even if I can’t have Mireya as my wife, I can protect her and be her strongest backing. I won’t let her be… bullied by just anybody.”
Ryan took his car keys out. He unlocked his car and opened the car door.
He turned around and glanced at Rodney. “What about you? Mireya was your wife and your child’s mother, but how did you protect her? You feel guilty toward Sarah, but do you even have a trace of guilt toward Mireya? Even if Mireya had really hurt Sarah, think about it. What if your wife frequently stayed out for the whole night and was always with her ex-boyfriend? She would say that it doesn’t count as a betrayal, but she had gotten pregnant with her ex-boyfriend’s baby. Would you feel like killing her ex- boyfriend?
“If you were really able to handle everything well, you wouldn’t have driven your wife to become a woman filled with hatred. You say that she’s evil and selfish, but it’s all because you tortured her that she became like that. Therefore, don’t always blame other people. Even if Mireya becomes a demon, you’re the person to be blamed.” After Ryan spoke, he got in the car and left.
The car traveled a distance away. Ryan could still see that Rodney was standing at the same spot like a statue from the rear-view mirror.
He sighed.
There was no need to tell Rodney all that. However, it might be because Ryan felt it was unfair to Mireya. He also sighed at Rodney’s selfishness.
20 minutes later.
The car stopped at Militaire Hospital.
Ryan walked toward the VIP ward. When he stood at the door, he heard Mr. Lynch’s angry voice coming from inside the ward. “Mireya Lynch, you’ve gotten bold. You got a divorce, got hurt, and were admitted to a hospital. You didn’t even tell your family about such a huge problem. If we hadn’t seen the news, we wouldn’t even have known that you’re divorced.”
Mrs. Lynch sobbed. “We’ll find Rodney. Is he still human? He kicked your ribs until they broke. I don’t care who he is. The Snow family must give us an explanation today. Otherwise, we’re meeting the media.”
Mr. Lynch said, “Yes. We’ll meet the media. Although the Lynch family can’t compare to the Snow family, we can’t let our daughter be trampled upon like this.”
Ryan knocked on the door lightly. The voices in the ward stopped.
Forrest opened the door. His cold expression was like ice. He grabbed Ryan’s collar. “You came at the right time. Ask the members of the Snow family to come over.”
“Brother, don’t yank Ryan.” Mireya, who was lying on the bed, exclaimed, “He has helped me a lot throughout this period. He was the one who protected me too. If it weren’t for him, I would’ve been ruined long ago.”
Forrest stared at Ryan for a while. Then, he let him go. His temples were throbbing. “What about Rodney? Where is he? Since he and my sister are divorced, I won’t make a fuss about that. But I just have to break his ribs just like how he kicked my sister’s ribs.”
“Forrest, you don’t have to look for Rodney.”
Ryan’s gaze was calm. His voice was smooth and gentle. “None of us in the Snow family can accept what Rodney has done. Therefore, after discussing, we’ve dismissed all of Rodney’s positions during Snow Corporation’s meeting just now. Moreover, my uncle has decided to transfer Snow Corporation’s shares to Jessica soon. This means that not only has Rodney been dismissed from all key positions in Snow Corporation but he has also lost his inheritance rights to Snow Corporation.”
It was only a few sentences, but they were packed with too much information.
Especially Forrest. He had interacted with Jessica before, so he knew what kind of woman she was.
It was most likely that she took the opportunity and snatched the leadership role in the Snow family while Rodney’s reputation was tarnished.
Forrest’s sharp brows were knitted together into a tight frown. He had no words all of a sudden.
On the other hand, Mireya was shocked. “That’s impossible. Isn’t Rodney in charge of the alternative energy project?”
“Don’t worry. There’s a proper solution to handle this matter. Moreover, his rights to Snowden have been stripped too.”
Ryan walked to the bedside. His eyes were warm and gentle as he smiled. “Rodney will never pester you again in the future. He doesn’t have the resources to take the child from you too. He’s probably only left with the paralyzed Sarah, Osher Corporation, and other minor investment companies. He won’t be able to stir up anything else, and the public already knows that the Snow family has abandoned him. It won’t be easy for him to work in the business world in the future, especially after he quarreled with Shaun and became estranged from Chester.”
Mireya was dumbfounded.
