Chapter 2043

“I’ve ordered a cup of coffee for you.” Ryan pushed the cappuccino toward Jessica.

“Aren’t there any private rooms available? Why did you choose this spot?” Jessica took the cup and
sipped on the coffee, revealing her fair wrist with a luxurious Patek Philippe SA watch on it.

“To let you have a good look at the Snow Corporation building opposite.” Ryan looked outside with his
clear gaze. “There are 42 floors altogether. Jessica, I think your office is on the 40th floor, right?”

“Mm.”

Jessica put down the coffee. She raised her head and looked in the direction of Ryan’s gaze. A
moment later, she said softly, “Ryan, just cut to the chase. Although you’re a few years younger than
me, I know you’ re much more mature than Carson and Rodney.”

“Jessica, you’re forever smart and calm.”

Ryan smiled faintly. “I wanted you to take a good look at the Snow Corporation building from here
because I’m interested in knowing if you’re really willing to work for someone else. Yes, you’re a
woman. But if it hadn’t been for you, Snow Corporation wouldn’t have expanded so rapidly these few
years, and its market value wouldn’t even have doubled. Although Uncle is the director, you make the
decision on a lot of things. Moreover, if you hadn’t chosen to sacrifice your happiness in marriage back
then, Snow Corporation wouldn’t have achieved what it has today. My dad wouldn’t have successfully
become the prime minister as well.”

Jessica lowered her gaze. Her long lashes cast a shadow beneath her eyes. “Ryan, are you inciting me
to turn against Grandpa and Dad?”

“No. I just don’t want Rodney to take over Snow Corporation.”



Ryan shrugged his shoulders coolly. “First, I must admit that Rodney is an intelligent business prodigy,
but he’s too stupid in relationships and is easily swayed by a woman. He’s completely irrational. I don’t
want a Snow family member like him to assist me. I can’t trust him.”

“Do you really think so, or is it because of Freya?” Jessica sounded indifferent and casual, but her
words were particularly sharp.

“Both, I guess. My parents and I want to protect Freya, but Rodney’s threatening her with the child.
Sarah can’t be pregnant, so he wants Sarah to take care of Dani. If Sarah were a good woman, I
wouldn’t object to it. But we know full well that having a miserable childhood will ruin a child’s life
forever.”



Ryan took a gulp of coffee, which was bitter yet aromatic. “Since Freya is now under the executive
council’s care, no one is allowed to ruin the executive council’s reputation. What’s more, if Sarah
marries into Snow family in the future, nothing will go well.”

“ It looks like you dislike Rodney now. Both of you used to be on good terms. ” Jessica forced a smile.

“As we grow, we change. Jessica, didn’t you change?”

Ryan’s thin lips curled into a smile. “You’re the president of Snow Corporation, yet Grandpa personally
instructed Rodney and Carson to take charge of the large alternative energy project.

Clearly, Grandpa thinks that Snow Corporation belongs to the two brothers since you’re a woman.
Once they strengthen their positions with the project and Uncle Jason steps down, you’ll remain as the
president of the company when they become one of the board of directors.”

Jessica tightened her grip on the coffee cup with her slim fingers while remaining quiet.



Ryan continued with a low voice, “Look. Snowden is the most important weapon of the Snow family, yet
they’ve never handed it over to you. Even everyone in Snow Corporation knows that you’re just the
company’s stepping stone. Haven’t you noticed that a lot of people in the company haven’t been
treating you with respect recently?”

“Ryan…” Jessica narrowed her eyes as a sign of warning.

“You should be familiar with this person.”

Ryan took out a photo and placed it on the table.

The photo featured a short-haired man dressed in a trim suit. He had sharp, solemn eyes and
prominent features. With the light from a crystal clear lamp shining on his broad shoulders and long
legs, he gave off an elegant aura.

The cup in Jessica’s hands quivered a little. Only after a while did she ask, “How much do you“I know
he was your boyfriend when you were studying abroad. Both of you were in a relationship for two years
and were initially planning to get married after you graduated. However, when you came back, you
realized that Snow Corporation was doing badly. Everyone in the family wanted you to work for the
company, but the man was merely an insignificant young master of the Lynch family and couldn’t do
anything to help you. You had no choice but to break up with him for the sake of the Snow family’s
future. Then, you married our frail Brother -in-law, who was gone after you both had been married for
only three years…”
