Chapter 1374: Chapter 1374

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1374 Rodney kept quiet.

His silence signified acknowledgment.

After being struck by the thought, Patrick still did not understand how Freya made this request to Rodney. “Young Master Snow, aren’t you… into Sarah?”

Since Rodney was fond of Sarah, why was he helping Freya and turning against him?

All Patrick wanted was to clarify the issue, yet he was unaware that his question had hit a nerve in Rodney, causing him to feel infuriated and ashamed.

Indeed, everyone knew that Rodney was fond of Sarah, but that woman cuckolded him.

“Who I like is none of your damn business.” Rodney’s expression was grim.

A surge of emotions overwhelmed Patrick deep down. He could not help but say, “Young Master Snow, you used to be part of the Snow family, after all. Why are you always swearing— ”

“Who said those from wealthy families can’t swear?” Rodney interrupted him. His charming eyes were filled with sarcasm. “You don’t swear, but you enjoy playing the field. Well, it’s better for people to speak harshly than act like a hoodlum, isn’t it?”

“You don’t know what’s going on between Freya and me either.” Stung by his mocking words, Patrick became glum and irritated. Even so, his handsome face remained tranquil. “Young Master Snow, if you don’t mind, can you let me tell you about what happened between me and Freya in the past?”

Rodney took the glass from the table and sipped on the water. He did not interrupt Patrick or reject him.

Patrick’s eyes flashed with bitterness. “Freya and I were college mates. I was her senior, and she was the one who pursued me. She was enthusiastic, generous, and pretty. Initially, I had never thought of getting into a relationship, but I was gradually attracted to her. We then got together. After graduating, I took over my family’s company and was preoccupied with it. At that time, Freya wasn’t interested in her career and her life revolved around me. It wasn’t too bad at first. But later on, I often had to work late nights, so she was unhappy that I couldn’t accompany her.

“Linda and I had grown up together when we were young, so she was like a sister to me. Our families share a good relationship too. After she graduated, the Shelby family got her to work in Jackson Corporation to gain exposure, but I wasn’t interested in her. If I were, I wouldn’t have gotten together with Freya. Even so, Freya always misunderstood us, thinking that I behaved flirtatiously with Linda.

We argued time and again, and the remarks she made would always be worse than before.

“I tried my best to put up with Freya because I loved her. We were planning to get married and I was even supposed to meet up with her parents to discuss our marriage. But Linda was involved in an accident that day. Moreover, her parents had gone on vacation. Because of this matter, Freya broke up with me.

“At first, I thought she wasn’t serious about the break-up. Who knew she suddenly came to Canberra for work. I looked for her and begged her, but she wouldn’t forgive me. At that time… she even dragged you in to provoke me.”

Feeling helpless, Patrick continued, “I gave up on her. Shortly after I returned to Melbourne, she followed suit. She came to my office and beat up Linda like a madwoman. That was unscrupulous and unreasonable of her. We were no longer in touch since then.

“I thought our relationship was over. But I bumped into her when I had a meal by the seaside a few days ago. I kindly sent her home, yet she wanted me to break up with Linda or she’d deal with Jackson Corporation. I thought she was kidding when she said that, but she actually coaxed you into doing it.”

After Jackson finished speaking, he looked at Rodney and added weakly, “Young Master Snow, I hope you’ll advise Freya. We can’t possibly get back together anymore, and I hope she’ll stop turning against Linda. Considering that Linda has sacrificed so much for me, I won’t break up with her or hurt her.”

Rodney crossed his arms.

He looked Patrick up and down seriously.

Chester had always made fun of Rodney due to his low emotional intelligence and stupidity.

Nevertheless, it did not mean that he was actually a fool.

“Why am I hearing you grumble about Freya’s shortcomings? If she’s so terrible, why did you decide to be with her in the first place? Why did you fall for her?”

Rodney suddenly asked while raising his brows.
