"Sis, you didn''t drive here. Let me give you a ride." Ryan followed after Freya.


    Wendy said emotionally, "I didn''t expect that Ryan and Freya''s rtionship to be so good."


    "Yes." Nathan nodded. "Too bad Freya is already pregnant. Otherwise..."


    He gave Rodney a sidelong nce. He felt a little bit of regret. "I really don''t understand how a flower like Freya was ruined by you, a pile of sh*t, back then."


    "Second Uncle..." Rodney felt rueful. In the past, Nathan had always said he was the Snow family''s most handsome man and not many women in the world would be good enough for him. Why was everyone siding with Freya in the blink of an eye?


    "Your second uncle is right." Old Master Snow hmphed. "ording to the Snow family''s rules, if you want to return to the family, you have to endure 81 whips." Rodney''s body shuddered.


    He knew about the Snow family''s disciplining tool.


    It was not just any ordinary whip. The whip had to be soaked for a night. When its sticity had reached its maximum, it was sprinkled with salt and chili


    powder. Toward the end of the punishment, it would feel more and more like a living hell. 3


    If one could still walk out of it alive, it would be considered good enough.


    Moreover, he had not gone through any suffering before.


    "You can either choose to return or not," Old Master Snow said indifferently, "Of course, this is just the first hurdle."


    "Could it be... There''s a second hurdle?" Rodney shivered from fear.


    "Yes. You still have to marry Freya."


    Old Master Snow suddenly sighed. "There''s no choice. We, the Snow family, need to keep our word. We already said we would chase you out of the Snow family. If we let youe back, won''t the outsiders think that we were just fooling around? The younger generations of the Snow family will also think that we don''t have any credibility. It''s impossible for us to reacknowledge you if you return, unless... you marry Freya. She''s the Snow family''s goddaughter now. Marrying her is another way you can return to the Snow family. Others won''t say anything about it either." 2


    Rodney was dumbfounded.


    F*ck! At the end of the day, it was impossible for him to return to the Snow family. The only way was to marry the Snow family''s goddaughter and be the


    Snow family''s son-inw.


    He could not believe that he, Young Master Snow, would end up in this state. Even returning home was so troublesome.


    "Mom..." He was on the verge of tears. He looked at Wendy.


    Wendy cleared her throat awkwardly. "It can''t be helped. Back then, your dad, uncle, and the rest all cut ties with you on public tforms. What was done can''t be undone. If you''re not willing... Just go back. Actually, I can''t bear seeing you getting whipped 81 times either."


    Jessica nced at Rodney calmly. "Don''t worry. There''s still me and Carson to take care of Dad and Mom. Having a funeral for you won''t be a problem." Was that the problem here?


    That meant Rodney could not return in the future even if he had a family. He really could only be alone.


    “Let''s go. It''s gettingte. We still have to go to work." Nathan waved his hand.


    "Me too. I have a meeting to attendter."


    Seeing that everybody was about to leave, Rodney was on the verge of tears. He said, "I ept your conditions."
