“I’m not threatening you guys. ” Rodney shrugged his shoulders. “I’m just thinking of a way to clear my name because my reputation is in shambles now. It’s called… diverting attention.”
“Director Snow, do something about your son.” Director Sands was furious.
Jason pinched the middle of his brows. He did not expect that things would escalate like this.
He did not want to reprimand his son, but he knew that it was the only way Rodney would not be dismissed.
Therefore, he acted like he was scolding Rodney. “If you dare do that, I won’t acknowledge you as my son.”
“Dad, it’s not the first time you’re refusing to acknowledge me as your son. You even kicked me out of the family last time. ” Rodney was smiling.
Jason slammed the table and looked at the directors apologetically.
Jessica glanced at Jason, who was trying to mediate the situation. Then, she looked at Rodney, who was sneering.
She closed the laptop in front of her and stood up slowly. “Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize on behalf of my brother’s actions. I can assure you that your private matters will never be leaked.”
“Eldest Young Lady Snow, since you said so, we’ll believe you.”
The directors nodded as they looked at Jessica. They got even angrier at Rodney now. ” Director Snow, does your son think that we can’t have any private secrets at all? We’re all doing business here and working for the benefit of the company. However, your son threatened us. We won’t tolerate the things he has done nor let him continue to stay in the company.”
Jason’s expression hardened.
Rodney raised his head and looked at Jessica. ” Sister, do you think you can agree to the board of directors’ request yourself?”
“Of course, ” Jessica replied indifferently. Her deep eyes were like a bottomless well. “President Snow, don’t say that you weren’t given a chance. Now, the board of directors can cast their votes. Those who agree to Rodney’s dismissal, please raise your hands.”
“Jessica…” Jason glanced at his daughter beside him in a warning.
Director Sands immediately said, “Director Snow, I think Jessica’s idea is great. Let’s vote. Hasn’t the company been doing this all along? I’m raising my hand.”
Soon, go percent of the people in the meeting room raised their hands. The others abstained from voting.
Jessica lowered her head and looked at her father. “
Dad, look. go percent of the directors don’t want Rodney to maintain his position in the subsidiary company. According to the company’s regulations, his position will be revoked. Let’s stop here.”
Jason glanced at Jessica coldly and sneered. “Fine. Revoke Rodney’s position. The meeting ends here. Jessica, come to my office.”
He left in long strides with a dark expression after he spoke.
The company’s directors congratulated Carson with a smile. “Carson, we have high hopes for you. Do your job well. Good luck.”
“Thank you, Uncles and Aunts.” Carson lowered his head and bowed. He thanked them awkwardly.
Rodney sat without moving at the side. His flirty face looked ruthless as if it was shrouded in ice.
The directors and senior managers did not think of going over to agitate him. Everyone gradually left. Soon, only the three siblings of the Snow family were left in the meeting room.
Rodney stood up, filled with hostility. He smashed Carson’s laptop and grabbed his collar. “Carson, if you wanted the position of president, you could’ve just told me. You’re my biological brother, and I’ve always taken care of you. You can’t join hands with Jessica and stab me from the back.”
Carson’s lips trembled, but he could only lower his head and apologize. ” I’m sorry, Second Brother. “
“Don’t blame Carson. I’m the one who forced him.”
Jessica slowly walked over. It was winter. She was wearing a sweater with a white woolen coat outside. She had a tall figure, and her gaze was dark. ” Rodney, do you really trust Carson? If you trust him, why is he clueless about so many company matters even though he has been working with you for so long?”
“Enough. Stop driving a wedge between us.” Rodney shouted angrily like a firecracker that was ignited. He glared at Jessica in disbelief. “Jessica, have you forgotten that you’re my biological sister? You’ve always been the one who cared for me and tolerated me the most since I was young. I never thought you’d be the one to stab me from behind when I needed you the most. You really concealed yourself well. It’s terrifying.”
“That may be the case. I just don’t want to be the one who willingly keeps giving. ” Jessica shrugged. She suddenly felt sad.
Although Rodney and Carson were her brothers, their understanding of her was not as well as Ryan’s.
Maybe she had sacrificed so much that they took her for granted.
Rodney sneered and glared at Jessica. “Well, you’ve been in this high position for so long. I guess you’re unwilling to come back down and still want to climb higher. But do you think Dad and Grandpa will agree? You’re going against the whole Snow family by doing this. I admit that you’ve won today, but let’s see how long your victory can last. Those directors will be begging me to return to the company in no time. Just wait and see.”
“Are you sure? Rodney, you really don’t know me well.”
Jessica smiled nonchalantly. “Since I’ve decided to make a move, that means I have full confidence.
What do you think you rely on the most?”
Rodney was stunned. Then, his expression changed.
“Snowden,” Jessica said that word slowly. “You think you have Snowden under your control, but that’s just your thought. Snowden’s people are obeying you just because I told them to. Grandpa and Dad think that they’re in charge of the Snow family, but that’s not the case. It’s only because I let them think that way. It’s because I respect them and listen to them.”
Rodney’s whole body was shaking.
He suddenly recalled General Manager Quinn’s betrayal.
He thought he could dominate everything, but that was not true.
“Is Master Porter your subordinate?” Rodney asked with gritted teeth.
“Otherwise, where do you think the photos of you going in and out of the condominium and the photos of Sarah’s proof of miscarriage came from?”
Jessica glanced at him resignedly and mockingly.”
Rodney, I admit that you’re very clever. However, when you were still playing around with mud, I was already strategizing. This is the difference between us.”
“Don’t say anything more!” Rodney yelled in anger. His eyes reddened. “Grandpa has never given you access to Snowden. How did you get Snowden’s members to listen to you?”
“I knew since I was young that Snowden was a sharp sword of the Snow family. How could I ignore such a good sword? Master Porter is a blade I’ve sharpened for more than ten years for all of you. Do you like this surprise?”
Jessica plucked a flower from a plant in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. She pulled off the petals and crushed them.
“More than ten years ago?” Rodney was shocked. What did that imply? It meant that Jessica had been laying out her strategy more than ten years ago. ” You’ve been thinking of acquiring Snow Corporation from the start. We all trusted you. Why are you only exposing yourself now?”
“You’re wrong. I did that before because I wanted to protect myself. People will change. Who knows what you will all become in the future?”
Jessica shook her head. “Do you know the story of Aladdin and the magic lamp? All these years, how many wishes have I granted Snow Corporation? All of you treat me like a magic lamp, but the genie in the magic lamp might be fed up one day and gobble all of you up.”
After she spoke, she wiped the flower juice off her fingers with tissue. “Rodney, stop struggling.
You’ve lost. It’s no use even if Dad and Grandpa intervene. What has the Snow family relied on to achieve what it has today? It relied on Snow Corporation, Snowden, and Uncle Nathan. Do you think Uncle Nathan will be on your side? Everything was made clear when those directors kicked you out of the game. Even Carson is smarter than you.”
Jessica left after she finished speaking.
In the office, Rodney smashed everything.
He used to think that he was about to have everything.
However, Jessica told him that he had never owned anything from the start.
It was because she allowed him to own those things that he had them.
He did not understand why things had become like this in just a month.
Carson looked toward him. He was at a loss. ” Brother, I’m sorry. Sister said that I’d be going against her if I didn’t choose her side. Jessica was the nicest to me since I was young. She always cleaned up after my troubles for me. I wouldn’t be what I am today without her.”
Rodney grabbed his collar and roared, “Don’t I treat you well too?”
Carson blinked. “You… You treat me well, but it can’t be compared to Big Sis. When I was going through puberty, I had a lot of worries. However, I couldn’t tell you because you kept following Sarah around. When I grew up and studied abroad, you rarely came to visit me. It was always Big Sis. When I started working, we weren’t in the same company. Big Sis was the one who helped me as well. I’m sorry.”
Carson brushed Rodney’s hands off and left.
Rodney stood in the empty meeting room alone. He just went through a divorce yesterday, and he was kicked out of Snow Corporation the next day.
Even his relationship with his family was severely impacted.
He was in a daze.
