Especially Forrest. He had interacted with Jessica before, so he knew what kind of woman she was.
It was most likely that she took the opportunity and snatched the leadership role in the Snow family while Rodneyâs reputation was tarnished.
Forrestâs sharp brows were knitted together into a tight frown. He had no words all of a sudden.
On the other hand, Freya was shocked. âThatâs impossible. Isnât Rodney in charge of the alternative energy project?â
âDonât worry. Thereâs a proper solution to handle this matter. Moreover, his rights to Snowden have been stripped too.â
Ryan walked to the bedside. His eyes were warm and gentle as he smiled. âRodney will never pester you again in the future. He doesnât have the resources to take the child from you too. Heâs probably only left with the paralyzed Sarah, Osher Corporation, and other minor investment companies. He wonât be able to stir up anything else, and the public already knows that the Snow family has abandoned him. It wonât be easy for him to work in the business world in the future, especially after he quarreled with Shaun and became estranged from Chester.â
Freya was dumbfounded.
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 Freya 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 Freya. 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.
âRyan, thank you.â Freyaâs eyes reddened. âThank you for helping me to keep Dani.â
Thanks to him, she did not have to go to jail either.
âYou donât have to thank me. The Snow family owes you this.â Ryan wanted to pat Freyaâs hair, but the Lynch family members were present. He held himself back. âBesides, Rodneyâs in the wrong here.â
Mr. Lynch said angrily, âRodney deserves it. He brought everything upon himself. Okay, since the Snow family has given a proper solution, I wonât make a fuss anymore. But weâve made up our minds after this incident. We canât play up to a grand family like the Snow family all the time. After all, weâre from different worlds.â
After pausing for a moment, he turned to his daughter and said, âWhen youâre discharged, follow us back to Melbourne. Canberra isnât a good place for you.â
âThatâs right. â Mrs. Lynch nodded too. âIâm more relieved if youâre by my side. I wonât let you stay in Canberra alone anymore. Look at what happened in these two years you were here⦠Iâm worried sick.
Frankly speaking, Iâd rather you werenât some prime ministerâs goddaughter. You just have to be our baby.â
Freya sniffed. She was touched. âMom, Dad, if I go back to Melbourne with you, what about my company? It has just made some progress. I canât let the companyâs shareholders suffer losses.
Besides, there are so many employees too. I canât go back.â
âAlright. How much do you owe those shareholders? Iâll give you the money and you can compensate them with that.â
Mr. Lynch said angrily, âAfter we return to Melbourne, Iâll build a laboratory for you. You can do your research there. Youâre a woman. Why do you have to make yourself so tired?â
âThatâs right, Freya. The Lynch family has been developing well. Weâre not short of money anymore.â
Mrs. Lynch advised painstakingly. â Moreover, weâre old. Our bodies are not as healthy as beforeâ¦â
Freya felt sad upon hearing her parentsâ words. Her heart wavered.
