Let me go, Mr. Hill By Shallow South Chapter 2043 âIâve ordered a cup of coffee for you.â Ryan pushed the cappuccino toward Jessica.
âArenât there any private rooms available? Why did you choose this spot?â Jessica took the cup and sipped on the coffee, revealing her fair wrist with a luxurious Patek Philippe SA watch on it.
âTo let you have a good look at the Snow Corporation building opposite.â Ryan looked outside with his clear gaze. âThere are 42 floors altogether. Jessica, I think your office is on the 40th floor, right?â
âMm.â
Jessica put down the coffee. She raised her head and looked in the direction of Ryanâs gaze. A moment later, she said softly, âRyan, just cut to the chase. Although youâre a few years younger than me, I know youâ re much more mature than Carson and Rodney.â
âJessica, youâre forever smart and calm.â
Ryan smiled faintly. âI wanted you to take a good look at the Snow Corporation building from here because Iâm interested in knowing if youâre really willing to work for someone else. Yes, youâre a woman. But if it hadnât been for you, Snow Corporation wouldnât have expanded so rapidly these few years, and its market value wouldnât even have doubled. Although Uncle is the director, you make the decision on a lot of things. Moreover, if you hadnât chosen to sacrifice your happiness in marriage back then, Snow Corporation wouldnât have achieved what it has today. My dad wouldnât have successfully become the prime minister as well.â
Jessica lowered her gaze. Her long lashes cast a shadow beneath her eyes. âRyan, are you inciting me to turn against Grandpa and Dad?â
âNo. I just donât want Rodney to take over Snow Corporation.â
Ryan shrugged his shoulders coolly. âFirst, I must admit that Rodney is an intelligent business prodigy, but heâs too stupid in relationships and is easily swayed by a woman. Heâs completely irrational. I donât want a Snow family member like him to assist me. I canât trust him.â
âDo you really think so, or is it because of Freya?â Jessica sounded indifferent and casual, but her words were particularly sharp.
âBoth, I guess. My parents and I want to protect Freya, but Rodneyâs threatening her with the child.
Sarah canât be pregnant, so he wants Sarah to take care of Dani. If Sarah were a good woman, I wouldnât object to it. But we know full well that having a miserable childhood will ruin a childâs life forever.â
Ryan took a gulp of coffee, which was bitter yet aromatic. âSince Freya is now under the executive councilâs care, no one is allowed to ruin the executive councilâs reputation. Whatâs more, if Sarah marries into Snow family in the future, nothing will go well.â
â It looks like you dislike Rodney now. Both of you used to be on good terms. â Jessica forced a smile.
âAs we grow, we change. Jessica, didnât you change?â
Ryanâs thin lips curled into a smile. âYouâre the president of Snow Corporation, yet Grandpa personally instructed Rodney and Carson to take charge of the large alternative energy project.
Clearly, Grandpa thinks that Snow Corporation belongs to the two brothers since youâre a woman.
Once they strengthen their positions with the project and Uncle Jason steps down, youâll remain as the president of the company when they become one of the board of directors.â
Jessica tightened her grip on the coffee cup with her slim fingers while remaining quiet.
Ryan continued with a low voice, âLook. Snowden is the most important weapon of the Snow family, yet theyâve never handed it over to you. Even everyone in Snow Corporation knows that youâre just the companyâs stepping stone. Havenât you noticed that a lot of people in the company havenât been treating you with respect recently?â
âRyanâ¦â Jessica narrowed her eyes as a sign of warning.
âYou should be familiar with this person.â
Ryan took out a photo and placed it on the table.
The photo featured a short-haired man dressed in a trim suit. He had sharp, solemn eyes and prominent features. With the light from a crystal clear lamp shining on his broad shoulders and long legs, he gave off an elegant aura.
The cup in Jessicaâs hands quivered a little. Only after a while did she ask, âHow much do youâI know he was your boyfriend when you were studying abroad. Both of you were in a relationship for two years and were initially planning to get married after you graduated. However, when you came back, you realized that Snow Corporation was doing badly. Everyone in the family wanted you to work for the company, but the man was merely an insignificant young master of the Lynch family and couldnât do anything to help you. You had no choice but to break up with him for the sake of the Snow familyâs future. Then, you married our frail Brother -in-law, who was gone after you both had been married for only three yearsâ¦â
