Ryan soon pulled himself together and said in a nonchalant tone, âDad, are we really that powerful?
Look at Rodney, whom all of you used to have high expectations of, destroyed by Sarah alone. You can ask Carson whether he wants his descendants to bear that weight on their shoulders. To put it bluntly, if it hadnât been for Jessica, no one wouldâve inherited Snow Corporation.â
âIf it were someone else, they might not be capable.â Old Master Snow looked at him. âBut with Jessicaâs and your ability, itâs possible.â
âGrandpa, have you asked Jessica?â Ryan said, âJessica takes my side. Weâre on the same page.â
Everyone was stunned, and old Master Snowâs expression was awful.
Rodney snorted. âRyan, youâre very cunning. No wonder you persuaded your parents earlier to approve of Jessica being the president of Snow Corporation. Youâve been plotting the whole thing from that moment on.â
After pausing for a moment, he turned to look at Nathan. âUncle Nathan, donât you understand? He has long since felt discontented being placed under you. Heâs been eyeing Grandpaâs position as well. He wants to be head of the Snow family.â
This time, nobody refuted what Rodney said.
Everyone looked grave.
Their eyes were filled with rage when they stared at Ryan.
None of the elders would expect themselves to end up in a juniorâs clutches.
Old Master Snow stood up in a fit of fury. âRyan, youâd better get this straight. Was he right in saying that youâre eyeing my position and that you want to be the head of the Snow family?â
Ryan was rather disappointed.
Despite his incompetence, Rodney was good at tearing people apart.
âGrandpa, donât you find yourself conflicting?â
Ryan let out a light sigh. âOn one hand, you want me to be like my dad, but on the other hand, you want me to listen to you like a marionette, Do you think I can stand out among a pack of wolves? A wolf can run away. It might not be keen on being the wolf king, but itâs reluctant to listen to others. Of course, if you merely want me to be a marionette, the Snow family will not be able to stand out any further.â
Old Master Snow looked sullen and indignant. âThatâs a part of your tactic, huh? I think youâre starting to act out when youâre not even experienced yet.â
Ryan sank to his kniees. âGrandpa, if all of you are unconvinced and afraid that Iâll be a threat t o your status, I can leave the family. Iâm kneeling here not just for Freyaâs affair but also for m v own sake. Itâs my life. The path I choose and how far I can go is my business. I donât want to be your marionette.â

At that, Nathan said furiously, âRyan, you need to get clear on this. If it werenât for your uncle, grandpa, and me, would you have managed to come this far? Since youâve used the Snow familyâs resources, you need to shoulder responsibility for it.â
