Carson brushed Rodneyâs 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.
A month ago, he felt so satisfied as if he was the happiest man in the world.
He had a family, a wife, a child, and his career. In his vision, he even predicted that he would enter the top 1oo of the global billionaire rankings in the near future.
However, he had lost everything.
He could not accept reality and smashed the cup. His eyes were bloodshot from anger.
In the directorâs office on the top floor.
Jessica knocked on the door and entered. Jason stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows expressionlessly with his hands behind his back.
âDad, sorry to have made you wait. I was talking to Rodney in the meeting room just now, so I was delayed.â
Her cool voice resounded in the office.
Jason turned around and studied his daughter closely for a while. Then, he walked to her front and slapped her across the face.
âVery well. You deceived me and joined hands with the board of directors to attack your biological brother. I only saw through it today. go percent of the companyâs directors are leaning toward you, while the others fear you. Am I supposed to hand over my position to you after some time as well?â
Jason pointed at Jessica furiously.
He could not lash out in the meeting room just now.
He had been in his position for tens of years. Every employee had been obedient under his management. It was only today he realized the daughter he taught was already able to step on his shoulders.
Jessica was capable. Jason, as her father, would naturally feel proud. However, that did not mean his daughter could disobey and go against him.
A burning pain spread across Jessicaâs face. She blinked her eyes hard and met Jasonâs gaze. âDad, youâre right. Your position can only be mine.â
âHow dare you?!â Jasonâs finger that was pointing at Jessica was trembling. âYouâre delusional. I think your eyes have been clouded by power.â
âWhy canât I?â Although Jessica had known that she had no inheritance rights, she was still hurt and dissatisfied hearing those words from her father. â Iâve been in the company for ten years. Iâve worked hard during these ten years and contributed my all to the Snow family and Snow Corporation. No one deserves your position more than me.â
âStop having unrealistic thoughts.â
Jason scolded, âYouâre a woman. We told you a long time ago that you can only have Snow Corporationâs shares. No matter which one of your brothers takes over, your position will not change.
Youâll never be short of money in your life. Have you forgotten what you had said to me and your grandpa? You said that youâre the sister so youâll take care and protect your brothers.â
âWhen I take over your position, Iâll still take care and protect them well.â Jessicaâs expression did not change. Her gaze was like a sharp knife. âAll these years, Iâve been careful. Among us three siblings, Iâm the most obedient. So what if Iâm a woman? Am I not your child? When the company wasnât doing well back then, I sacrificed my happiness and became a widow at a young age for the company. Uncle Nathan wanted to be the prime minister. I was the one who ran around and opened up connections.
When you were sick and having surgery, I was the one who supported the company alone. I was so tired that I slept in the company for a month without returning home. Iâm human too, not the Snow familyâs tool.â
