aged a lot in an instant.
He thought he had been pretty successful all along. Looking back, he was an utter failure. What demon did he create for the Snow family?
Jason did not say a word.
Rodney was his favorite, but he would not be so muddled as to continue begging for leniency.
Wendy said agonizingly, âJessica, do you expect us just to watch Rodney d*e? No matter what, heâs still your biological brother. Donât you have any other way? I just want him to be alive. Iâm not thinking of anything else.â
Jessica felt bitter. However, she could only say calmly, âLet Uncle Nathanâs family make the decision.
This issue isnât one that I can decide by myself.â
Everyone simply stared at each other. In the end, the living room regained its peace again.
â¦
Ryan and his family only knew about the matter in the evening.
In the official residence, Nathan rubbed the middle of his brows with a fatigued expression. He smiled bitterly. âWhat a person the Snow family has produced. Regardless, I watched Rodney grow up. How did his heart turn this bad? Heâs even worse than Sarah.â
âThe saying that youâre the product of your environment isnât illogical, after all.â
Nathan did not say a word. He simply looked at his son. âRyan, what do you think? Your uncle begged me and called me a few times. His wish⦠is to give Rodney a way out so that he can still survive.â
âLocking him up is already the best way out,â Heidi said indifferently. âThis kind of person will only create endless troubles if he were to be let out. We were lucky this time, but how many more problems can we handle?â
Nathan let out a long sigh. Was that truly the only way?
At that point, he really disliked Rodney. However, he had to consider his brotherâs feelings too. A rift between the brothers could not be created just because of this.
After all, Jason had always yielded to him since they were young.
Ryan glanced at his fatherâs expression. He thought about it and said, âActually, thereâs a type of d**g.
After injecting the d**g, itâll make the person forget his memories entirely without leaving anything behind. Itâs a newly developed d**g.â
Nathan was stunned. He knew about it too. âBut I heard that d**g will cause a decline in intelligenceâ¦â
âDad, why should Rodney be so smart? Itâs enough if heâs able to eat, drink, and take care of himself.
Moreover, he wonât become mentally retarded. Itâs just that his intelligence will decline slightly. Rodney has an older sister and a younger brother. Even if Uncle Jason and the others are no longer alive years later, I believe thereâll still be people taking care of him.â
Ryan frowned and said, âThis may be the only way. Otherwise, weâll have no choice but to do what Mom said, which is to lock him up for a lifetime.â
Heidi raised her doubts. âWait, you guys can make Rodney lose his memories, but the internet has records. His intelligence may decline, but he wonât be a fool. After some time, he can easily look up past matters on the internet. What if he finds out Freya is his ex-wife and Dani is his daughter? To be honest, I wasnât against Dani interacting with her biological father before, but I disagree now. After allâ¦â
She glanced at Ryan. âIf youâre really going to marry Freya in the future, troubles will arise again.â
âMom, so youâre sayingâ¦â
âIncrease the d**g dosage. Rodney can only be a fool,â Heidi said coldly. âTo be honest, I donât think the decision of locking him up for a lifetime is any good either. What if someone with ulterior motives lets Rodney out after your dad steps down from his position? What if he doesnât repent, has a stronger desire for revenge after being locked up for a few years, and does something rash and extreme? Who knows? We canât possibly bring bodyguards with us every time we go outside after we retire.â
