Wendy walked up to Rodney impassively and slapped him on the face.
âGet lost.â A surge of emotions overwhelmed Wendy, and she pointed toward the outside.â Youâre not here to spend time with Dani. Youâre just here to kick up a fuss.â
Rodney froze.
As far as he could remember, this was Wendyâs first time slapping him in full view of so many people.
Old Master Snow sighed in disappointment.
Carson, too, started to criticize Rodney, âRodney, youâve gone too far. I can understand Ryanâs feelings. Iâm fond of Sister-in-law, so I sympathize with her as well. But does that mean Iâm interested in her? Do you think everyone who has helped her is romantically involved with her?â
Jessica lowered her eyes coldly and ordered,â Guards, please send Young Master Snow out. Heâs not fit to stay here today.â
As soon as she finished speaking, a few bodyguards came in from outside and pulled Rodneyâs arms on both sides.
âJessica, this is my home. What gives you the right to kick me out?â
Rodney was so infuriated that his eyes turned red. Even his body could not help but shake in rage.
Jessicaâs icy gaze swept over him in an imposing manner. âIf you had come here today to give Dani a gift and spend time with her, your presence would not have mattered. No one would have said anything about it too. But the minute you came, you began to make a fuss. You had an affair, yet you kept criticizing your ex-wife and cousin. We donât care if youâre blind, but you should at least know how to show respect. If you donât, please leave.
âIf you want to come home, you can. But please wait until the feast is over.â
The moment she was done speaking, the bodyguards forcefully dragged Rodney out.
âFreya, itâs not in your power to stop me from seeing my daughter. If you stop me from seeing her, Iâll sue you.â
Rodneyâs thunderous voice sounded outside the window.
Freya shut her eyes, feeling exhausted.
Perhaps she would never want to come to the old residence again.
Everyone could read her emotions.
Jason said in anguish, âFreya, let me apologize to you on Rodneyâs behalf. Heâ¦â
âIt doesnât matter, Uncle Jason. Iâve gotten used to it. Anyway, all he does every time we meet is criticize me.â
Freya looked down and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. âIf you guys miss Dani, Iâll get the sitter to bring her over for a day next time, and you can invite Rodney over. He can spend time with Dani, but he canât take her anywhere out of your sight, nor can he badmouth me in front of her. Iâve never badmouthed him in front of Dani because the personal vendetta is between the adults, which has nothing to do with her.â
âThank you, Freya.â
Jason and Wendy were deeply embarrassed.
They had grasped Freyaâs meaning that she would most probably not come here anymore.
In fact, it was understandable.
Rodney had humiliated Freya terribly. It was as though he wanted to destroy her. If Ryan had not acted cleverly today, Freyaâs reputation would have been ruined.
After dinner, Ryan and Freya stayed for a while before they took their leave.
The two of them looked bitter when they left. The guests left one by one. When the house was only left with his son and daughter-in-law, Old Master Snow let out a long sigh. âRodney used to be quite a smart child, but he has become more foolish after being tricked by Sarah. Seriously, why is he so foolish? He canât turn things around in this life anymore. Perhaps heâs not clear about what the consequences will be after tonight.â
