The lost heiress never forgiven

Chapter 503 A Dangerous Bargain

White’s face darkened instantly. Gone was his previous leisure–his expression twisted into something sharp and venomous.

“I never should’ve gone easy on you,” he spat.

He should’ve killed Jonathan when he had the chance.

In the end, it was his own greed that had undone him.

Their current research was all built on Jonathan’s original models. Each new generation of tech might have looked different, but the core remained unchanged. He had wanted to go further, reach new heights -but the idiots under him were incapable of delivering.

He couldn’t understand how Jonathan’s brain worked–how someone could outclass so many others so thoroughly.

That was why he had turned to neural expansion–researching the development of the brain. And even then, none of his people could match Jonathan.

Watching White’s mood shift with interest, Jonathan smiled calmly. “Your father’s on his way. Got anything you want me to tell him?”

White’s expression turned even colder.

He glared at Jonathan. “You really are courting death.”

He had never wanted his father and Jonathan to meet. Though he had run background checks on Jonathan countless times and found nothing suspicious, he still felt uneasy.

He couldn’t explain why. Maybe it was the way Jonathan carried himself–that sharp, commanding aura so identical to his father’s.

At first, Jonathan hadn’t had that presence. But over time, he began to mimic it.
