Shaun laughed. He reminded Catherine, who was confused. âI dare confirm that Jessica is definitely Ryanâs close partner. She listens to Ryan and not Jason.â
Catherine understood in an instant. She was shocked too. âDo you think Prime Minister Snow knows?â
Shaun shook his head. âOf course, he wouldnât have noticed it. Firstly, in his eyes, Ryan is still young.
Secondly, Ryan is his son. His son will never betray him. Ryan wonât betray Nathan, but that doesnât mean heâll follow his fatherâs arrangements. Once they have signs of discord, Nathan wonât be able to handle Ryan.â
Catherine muttered, âThe first time I saw Ryan, I even thought he was quite good-looking. He seemed innocent and kind. I didnât expectâ¦â
âHa, his innocent and harmless appearance is his advantage. Whether theyâre his elders or friends, theyâll think heâs humble and modest. All those years, he mustâve been gathering his influence in secret. He hasnâ t shown his fangs yet because he hasnât met the thing he wants most. However, Freyaâs incident made him reveal his fangs, but only a little. Itâs just that nobody sensed it except for Chester and meâ¦â
Catherine blurted out, âDid Chester not lend a hand to Osher Corporation that has been troubled by scandals lately because he noticed it?â
Shaun nodded. âChester is unwilling to help Rodney because of Sarah, us, and⦠he doesnât want to offend Ryan. Who knows how Ryan will attack him if he helps Rodney? The scariest part of Ryan is that he has never revealed his trump card.
Nobody knows it.â
After feeling shocked for a long time, Catherine laughed bitterly. âSince Ryan is such a powerful person, he might even swallow Freya whole.â
âIn a sense, he can protect Freya well.â Shaunâs lips moved. He said, âItâs good to have someone accompanying Freya now. If she finds out that Rodney and Sarah are about to hold a wedding, she might feel uncomfortable.â
âWhat?â
Catherine was exasperated. âHow does Rodney have the audacity to have a wedding with Sarah? He didnât have one with Freya when she gave birth to his child.â
âThe wedding will be held after New Yearâs. Rodney didnât invite me. I have a friend who owns a hotel. I heard that Rodney booked the banquet hall and hired a wedding planner.â Shaun sighed. He did not want to believe that his old friend had become like this either. âFreya will know sooner or later.â
âF*cking b*tch! F*cking sc*mbag!â Catherine kept scolding.
Forget it. She would not tell Freya about it for the time being so that Freyaâs mood would not worsen.
However, Catherine met her best friend in the elevator at the company the next day.
After thinking about it, she said, âIâm going to tell you something. Donât be too sad about it. I didnât want to tell you at first, but you were going to find out sooner or later anyway.â
Freyaâs expression, which showed that she was in a good mood, faded. She asked disappointedly, âAre you going to tell me that you and Shaun have remarried and youâre leaving me alone?â
