From the data Victor had gathered, it was clear-Jonathan was far more qualified than Chase to be head of the
Wynn family.
Among the delegation receiving Victor was Maddox.
Under normal circumstances, someone of Victor's status wouldn't spare a glance for a junior official. But he had
studied Jonathan's profile, and knew Maddox had once been close to him.
So Victor treated Maddox with unusual warmth.
Everyone present was a seasoned political operator. They all noticed. Naturally, the task of handling Victor fell to
Maddox.
“Maddox, take good care of Mr. Victor,” the superior officer said, patting his shoulder.
Maddox offered a mild smile. But the moment his superior walked away, his expression fell. Adjusting his glasses,
he frowned slightly.
He knew exactly why he had caught Victor's attention.
Sure enough, once the two were alone, Victor got straight to the point. “Tell me—what kind of man is Jonathan in
your eyes?”
Maddox's tone was tinged with bitterness. “He treats his friends well. If push comes to shove, he'll take a knife
for you.”
So long as his friends never betray him.
“Sounds like you think highly of him,” Victor replied. “I hear you two were close. Since that’s the case, Maddox,
I'll trouble you to contact him for me. I'm very interested in meeting this young man.”
No matter how reluctant he was, Maddox had no choice but to agree.
The next day, he made his way to the Wynn Residence. But unlike before, he was stopped at the base of the hill.
“Sorry, Mr. Maddox. This is private property. No entry without an invitation.”

Bitterness stirred in Maddox's chest, though his face remained calm.
“Could you please inform Mr. Jonathan that Maddox is here to see him?”
The guard nodded and stepped aside to make a call. Moments later, he returned.
“The butler says Mr. Jonathan will meet you at the company. He asks that you wait for him there.”
“... Understood.” Maddox nodded and turned back to his car. His hands clenched tightly around the steering
wheel.
He should've expected this,

The day he chose to stay silent and let White take the blame, he'd already known this day would come.
Jonathan had never been one to tolerate betrayal.
That Jonathan hadn't clooking for trouble was already his way of being polite.
Maddox waited nearly two hours at the Yeager Group before Jonathan finally arrived.
Jonathan was swamped with work. As he entered, his assistant immediately placed several documents on his
desk. Without looking up, Jonathan asked,
“Mr. Maddox, what can | do for you?”
That single “Mr. Maddox” said everything about where they now stood. Maddox felt a sharp pang in his chest but
still managed to reply, “Mr. Victor has arrived. I've been assigned to host him. He wishes to meet with you-if
you're available.”
“If Mr. Victor is requesting a meeting, I'll make time,” Jonathan said coolly. “I'll confirm the schedule with you
later. Thank you.”
Having conveyed the message, Maddox had no intention of lingering. He had no face left to make small talk.
Just as he was about to leave, Jonathan stopped him.
“Mr. Maddox, since you're already here, stay a moment longer. There were smatters | hadn't gotten around
to handling.”
He made a quick call. Soon, a secretary entered carrying a share transfer contract.
“Take a look at this,” Jonathan said, handing the contract over.

Back then, he and a few others, including Mateo, had all invested together.
Even during the hardest times, no one had ever brought up pulling out.

Financially, Maddox stood to gain.
But he felt no joy at all.
Seeing his hesitation, Jonathan spoke quietly. “Sthings need to be made clear eventually. Don’t you agree,

Chapter 505 Severance.
Maddox's betrayal had left a bitter taste in his mouth.
He hadn't made a show of it like Mateo, but that didn’t mean Jonathan wasn’t hurt.
They'd been brothers for years. He'd once trusted Maddox with his back-only to be stabbed by him instead.
Jonathan couldn’t move past that. He could never go back to how things were..
So cutting ties cleanly was the best path forward.
