Who could tell her what exactly had happened? In just a few days, Rodney had fallen from the clouds.
She could not understand the situation.
However, no matter how stupid Mireya was, she knew that Ryan had something to do with all of it.
He even told her to trust him just the day before yesterday.
He had fulfilled every promise that he made to her.
He was always calm and collected, yet he had everything under his control.
Ryan was a mysterious figure to Mireya. He was outstanding.
Such an outstanding person was her brother. That kind of feeling… was pretty good.
The feeling of being protected by somebody was pleasant.
“Ryan, thank you.” Mireya’s eyes reddened. “Thank you for helping me to keep Dani.”
Thanks to him, she did not have to go to jail either.
“You don’t have to thank me. The Snow family owes you this.” Ryan wanted to pat Mireya’s hair, but the Lynch family members were present. He held himself back. “Besides, Rodney’s in the wrong here.”
Mr. Lynch said angrily, “Rodney deserves it. He brought everything upon himself. Okay, since the Snow family has given a proper solution, I won’t make a fuss anymore. But we’ve made up our minds after this incident. We can’t play up to a grand family like the Snow family all the time. After all, we’re from different worlds.”
After pausing for a moment, he turned to his daughter and said, “When you’re discharged, follow us back to Melbourne. Canberra isn’t a good place for you.”
“That’s right. ” Mrs. Lynch nodded too. “I’m more relieved if you’re by my side. I won’t let you stay in Canberra alone anymore. Look at what happened in these two years you were here… I’m worried sick. Frankly speaking, I’d rather you weren’t some prime minister’s goddaughter. You just have to be our baby.”
Mireya sniffed. She was touched. “Mom, Dad, if I go back to Melbourne with you, what about my company? It has just made some progress. I can’t let the company’s shareholders suffer losses.
Besides, there are so many employees too. I can’t go back.”
“Alright. How much do you owe those shareholders? I’ll give you the money and you can compensate them with that.”
Mr. Lynch said angrily, “After we return to Melbourne, I’ll build a laboratory for you. You can do your research there. You’re a woman. Why do you have to make yourself so tired?”
“That’s right, Mireya. The Lynch family has been developing well. We’re not short of money anymore.” Mrs. Lynch advised painstakingly. ” Moreover, we’re old. Our bodies are not as healthy as before…”
Mireya felt sad upon hearing her parents’ words. Her heart wavered.
All these years, Mireya had been away from home, so she hardly kept her parents company.
This made her feel remorseful.
Deep down, Ryan began to feel nervous. He promptly said, “Mr. Lynch, Mrs. Lynch, if Mireya goes back to Melbourne, Dani will definitely have to go back as well. I’m sure my uncle won’t be used to not seeing his granddaughter. Also, as far as I know, your business is growing across the country. However, Melbourne is only the second-most populous city in Australia, which might limit Lynch Corporation’s development. I heard Forrest is looking for land in the most populous city. He’s planning to relocate the headquarters of Lynch Corporation and its factory.”
Forrest raised his brows. “Who did you hear it from?”
Ryan smiled. “Mireya.” Mireya was speechless. When did she say that?
However, considering that Ryan had helped her a lot, she silently watched him bluff without exposing him.
Forrest fell quiet. He never told Mireya about it, but he might have told his parents.
At this moment, Ryan curled his lips. ” So how do you find Weston Creek in Canberra, Forrest?”
Forrest froze for a moment and frowned. “Of course, the land there is good, but…”
However, not only was the land costly but it was also not easy to obtain even with money.
This idea had never struck him previously because he never thought of begging the Snow family.
“That’s great. I can easily have that plot of land given to Lynch Corporation.”
Ryan said with a smile, “At present, the light rail and a new airport are being built there. It’s going to be the most developed area in the future. If Lynch Corporation builds a company and factory there, it’ll be more convenient to distribute the products across the country and even the world. What’s more, you’ll be head and shoulders above your competitors with such a location. Besides, Lynch Corporation is planning to grow its business overseas…”
He did not continue and held back.
He knew that Forrest and Mr. Lynch, who were both intelligent businessmen, must be tempted.
Sure enough, he saw the glow in Forrest and Mr. Lynch’s eyes. Soon, Forrest lowered his long lashes. “I admit that what you said is tempting, but I don’t want my sister to be deeply involved with the Snow family…”
Ryan grinned and shook his head. “Some involvement can’t be completely avoided. Dani is the bridge between the Lynch and the Snow families. What’s more, even if Mireya returns to Melbourne, she’s still the prime minister’s goddaughter.”
Forrest stayed quiet for an instant before he asked, “Young Master Snow, why are you so willing to help us?”
“You might see me as helpful, but in my eyes, this is no trouble at all.”
Ryan said humbly, “Of course, I’m doing this partly for Dani’s sake. After all, if she grows well under her grandmother’s care, she’ll be more respected in the future. Despite having divorced parents, no one will look down on her.”
“Another reason is that my parents are very fond of Mireya. Recently, they’ve been grumbling to me about how miserable Mireya is. They want me to try help her and the Lynch family as much as possible. The better the Lynch family is doing, the more regretful Rodney will be.”
Undeniably, these two reasons were very convincing, especially the latter.
Mrs. Lynch was tempted, what more Mr. Lynch.
Indeed, Rodney had let them down and hurt their daughter just because the Lynch family was weak. Perhaps Rodney had always thought that Mireya was no match for him.
Hmph.
If the Lynch family fared well in the future and since Rodney had lost his inheritance, he might not be comparable to Lynch Corporation then. He would surely regret it.
A hush descended over the ward for half a minute.
Mrs. Lynch coughed lightly. “What he said makes sense. Why don’t…”
With that, she hesitantly turned her eyes to her son and husband.
Mr. Lynch took a sip of coffee before asking reluctantly, “Minister Snow, is the land approval really a small matter?”
“Mr. Lynch, you can just call me Ryan.”
Ryan corrected him respectfully and politely. “My parents treat Mireya as their daughter, so you don’t have to stand on ceremony. We’re considered relatives.”
He had always been gentle and elegant. Despite his handsome looks, he was humble. Coupled with his gentle voice, Mrs. Lynch took an instant liking to him.
“This man is so well-educated.” Mrs. Lynch praised him. “You’re a member of the executive council. If we treat you as our relative, that would mean that we’re trying to climb to the top.”
“So what if I’m a member of the executive council? I’m only human like everyone else. I grew up eating the same kind of food as everyone else too, ” Ryan said languidly, “When I was a child, my parents taught me that I’m actually no different from other people, except that I come from a better family background.”
Mr. Lynch nodded in profound admiration.
Ryan added, “Mr. Lynch, I can just make a call and settle it. Forrest will then be able to develop Lynch Corporation in Canberra, while Mireya can set up her company. The four of you will be reunited. As far as I know, Weston Creek is only a few kilometers away from the seashore. Recently, there have been a lot o f villa developments around that place. There’s also a private beach, and the lovely weather makes it a prime living area. Compared to this place, Melbourne is too moist and cold. The elderly who live there will easily experience joint pain.”
Every point he mentioned hit a nerve in the two elders.
Forrest could tell that his parents and even he were tempted.
“Okay. Thank you, then. ” Forrest reached out to shake Ryan’s hand.
Mireya, who was listening to their words on the bed, felt a bit dazed.
Only after this issue was settled did she come to her senses. Her parents initially planned to persuade her to return to Melbourne, yet Ryan had convinced them to live in Canberra.
At this moment, Ryan was already discussing which villa was the best in Canberra and suggesting to Forrest the most suitable location.
After discussing it for an hour or so, Ryan rose to his feet and took his leave. “Mr. Lynch, Mrs. Lynch, Forrest, I welcome you guys to come to The Lodge anytime. I reckon Dani will be glad to see you guys.”
After he left, Mrs. Lynch said with a sigh, “Mireya, how great would it have been if Ryan was the person you married. He’s so polite and well- educated. You’re the same age as him, but he’s a lot more mature and steadier than you. What’s more, he’s neither arrogant nor impetuous. What a wonderful man he is.”
Mireya was at a loss for words.
