Jason rubbed his brows. "So you want me t o assist you in stepping up so that you can compete with your sister? But I don't think you're capable, Rodney. All I can see is how narrow-minded and extreme you are. You don’t have the magnanimity that someone with high social standing typically has. You'll ruin Snow Corporation with these qualities."
"Dad, you just don’t trust me." Rodney looked up and met his eyes.
"Trust you?" Jason reacted as if he had heard a joke. "I trusted you more than anyone else. You're my son, and I have high hopes for you. But if I trusted you, I’m afraid Sarah would’ve conned you out of
Snow Corporation's shares.
"Dad, that incident has taught me a lesson, and I've reflected on myself. If I repeat the same mistake, I'm a pig." Agitated, Rodney said, "Why won't you give me another chance?"
"You have reflected on yourself, but you've overdone it."
Jason pushed Rodney furiously to the futon to make him kneel. "I might be old, but I'm not stupid. Take a look at yourself now. You're angry and jealous as if everyone has hurt you and there are no good people in the world. It’s as if you're the only one who's right and kind.
"You'll spend the night kneeling here."
Jason fumed. "Your grandpa is my dad, and I don't allow you to take advantage of him. He’s old. If you mess things up, it'll damage his health."
Once he finished speaking, he slammed the door and left.
Wendy promptly walked up to him. "How did it go?"
"He's going to piss me off to death sooner o r later." Jason pressed his chest. "This kid has an evil heart. To think he'd plan to take advantage of his biological grandfather."
"Let’s see how Nathan handles it," Jason muttered.
The neon lights at the sides of the night street were colorful.
A black bulletproof car slowly drove forward.
Nathan was pulling a long face in the car." Heidi, do you know you went too far speaking to my dad that way just now? My dad has nurtured me since I was young, and he has high hopes for my brother and me. Without my dad, I won’t have everything I have today."
"So, for yours and respect your dad's sake, I need to forget about all my contributions, huh?" Heidi looked cool, but her eyes contained a tinge of sarcasm. "Nathan, I don’t want to bring up the past or list out how much the Lynch family has helped you. You're the prime minister, and you care about your dignity, but don't I care about mine?"
