They had underestimated just how much weight the Wynnt family carried in the business world-let alone the fact
that Jonathan's own corporation was among the top in the nation.
With the Wynn family publicly severing ties with the Treno family, no one else dared to test their luck by siding
with them now.
Though the main branch of the Treno family had deep roots in politics, the collateral branches weren't so
fortunate-and those very branches were crucial financial backers for the core family.
Now, those srelatives ccrying at their door day after day, complaining, pleading, exhausting
everyone's patience.
Even with mounting pressure from within, nothing was working.
Everyone was weighing their options.
And so far, it was clear-the Wynn family had the upper
hand.
One afternoon, Talhand gathered all three family lines under one roof.
“Given the current situation, let's hear what you all think we should do,” he said.
The second branch spoke up first, blunt and cutting. “This mess was caused by Maddox, so he should be the one
to clean it up.”
“Last time, you didn’t hesitate to throw Trev under the bus and call it righteousness. What, Maddox doesn’t
deserve the streatment now?”
The third branch didn’t speak, but their expressions made it clear—they agreed.
Talhand had three sons and several grandsons, but he'd always favored Maddox the most. The boy was slick,
resourceful, and the most promising heir.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNo one ever said it aloud, but resentment had simmered for years.
Now that Maddox had slipped up, of course they'd seize the chance to take jabs at him.
Maddox remained silent, slouched on the couch as if none of it concerned him.
Since his falling out with Jonathan, he'd grown quiet-especially around family.
Trev nudged him. “Con, you've always got something to say. How do you plan to fix this?”
Maddox lifted his gaze, sweeping across the room before replying with sharp sarcasm, “Fix it however you want.
I've got no opinion.”
“Then go apologize to Jonathan!” Trev snapped. “Didn’t you say whoever messes up sh responsibility?”
He hadn't forgotten nearly being beaten to death the last time.

Back then, Maddox could've kept his mouth shut and no one would've known-but instead, he'd thrown Trev
under the bus.
Maddox shot him a cold glance, full of contempt.
Normally, that look would've terrified Trev, but today, bolstered by the situation, he puffed up his chest
He was about to speak again when Talhand slammed his cane to the ground.
“Enough! I'm not dead yet. Save your petty squabbles for later. Do any of you understand the gravity of
this?”
At that, the room went quiet.
After a pause, Talhand turned to Maddox.
“International projects may be viable down the road, but they won't save us now. We need to put out the fire in
front of us first.”
“Maddox, talk to Jonathan. See what he wants.”
Maddox gave a bitter smile. “Grandfather, you've known him for years. Don’t you know what kind of person he
is?”
Of course Talhand knew.
When they first made the decision to keep White's situation from Jonathan, they'd hoped to play both sides.
He had considered what would happen if Jonathan found out, but back then, he assumed the deep relationship
between their families-and especially between Maddox and Jonathan-would soften the blow.
When Maddox informed him that Jonathan had already found out, he'd panicked.
But when nothing happened immediately, he convinced himself he'd been right-Jonathan still valued their
friendship.
And so he grew bolder, dismissing the matter entirely.
until now.
Now, Jonathan was serious. And Talhand was finally afraid.
He repeated, “Just go talk to him.”
Disappointment churned in Maddox's chest.
Back when they first discussed hiding White's identity, Maddox had warned him-Don
But Talhand hadn't listened. He'd even ordered Maddox to keep his mouth shut.
Now, he wanted Jonathan to let it go.
