    Gordon was helped to <b>his </b>feet, but the shock on his face remained.


    Before he could deal with one problem, another one surfaced. He <b>hadn’t </b>even wrapped his head around the SAMsituation when Wesley showed up, alive and well.


    All of Gordon’s ns had gone up in smoke, leaving him feeling like a pawn in Wesley’s game. He felt shock, anger, and frustration overwhelming him,


    <b>Gordon </b>refused to ept his defeat, so he stormed up to Wesley and demanded, “Cronus, what have you done?”


    How did he secure SAM? How did he get out of the ambush unscathed? How was he well and alive after the car ident?


    Jodie warned. “Mr. Gordon, is that how you speak to the head of the family?”


    Despite Gordon being an elder and <b>a </b>senior, Wesley was the head of the File <b>family</b>. In his presence<b>, </b>respect was non–negotiable. Otherwise, Wesley had the right to deal with him <b>as </b><b>he </b>saw fit

    A broken leg


    Exactly


    While Cronus was perfectly fine, Barren had ended up with a broken leg


    Gordon’s eyes were tinged with anger as he shoved the peacemaker aside.


    He lunged at Wesley, shouting “Cronus.”


    However, Marce <b>quickly </b>held him back


    Wesley calmly watched as Gordon raged. He said, “There’s no puzzle here. Jaime realized that joining F Group would be best for SAM<b>, </b>and changed his mind. He transferred his 17% share to me. With that, I took down SAM with 48% of the share. It’s as simple as that.”


    “Jaime? How could that be?” Gordon was shocked.


    Everyone knew Jaime was someone who would rather break than bend. He would never willingly sell <b>SAM</b>.


    Gordon had been keeping tabs on SAM’s shareholders and market movements. However, he never kept watch on Jaime. He believed Jaime would never betray SAM


    Gordon shook his head. “I don’t believe you!”


    Wesley didn’t need to exin everything to Gordon.


    As Gordon pondered, <b>a </b>sudden realization hit him. “You’re doing this on purpose, Cronus. This is a trap!”


    Wesley leaned back in his chair with his legs crossed. He said, “Why would I trick you, Uncle Gordon?”


    Gordon replied,


    “Because..


    “Gordon! Calm down!” someone interrupted sharply.


    Gordon felt as though a bolt of lightning had struck him. He instantly snapped out of his frantic emotions.


    However, it was toote<b>, </b>and Gordon had let the cat our of the bag. Wesley would never let him off the hook.


    “The reason you’re <b>acting </b>this way is that I didn’t die in that car ident bile you expected, right? Wesley said.


    Gordon retorted, “Cronus, you need proof to use someone like that!”


    “I don’t have to give <b>you </b>any proof,” Wesley retorted.


    Gordon had covered his tracks meticulously. Even if Wesley suspected him, Wesley had no proof.


    Wesley continued, “The police will deal with what needs to be handled.”
