Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 442

"Go do what you need to do." Silas already knew her intention before he arrived.

The reason was simple: he had learned from Eleanor that Madeline would be representing Quentin at The Prescott Group.

He actually knew about it before Madeline did, because Eleanor was furious about the concession.

Eleanor absolutely despised Madeline.

Upon learning this, Silas deduced that Madeline would have to step down from Photon Tech.

While Photon Tech was growing rapidly, it was still a relatively small tech startup.

The Prescott Group, however, was a global titan in pharmaceuticals and medical devices.

It boasted cutting-edge pharmaceutical divisions focused on oncology, immunology, infectious diseases, and neuroscience. Their legacy drugs dominated the market, and their R&D for new medicines was top-tier.

It was only because of the sheer strength of this pharmaceutical division that the company hadn't totally collapsed under chaotic management; its massive capital reserves provided a huge margin for error.

The primary source of their deficit was the second division: medical devices.

They had poured tens of billions into developing fully automated surgical robots, with absolutely zero progress.

Meanwhile, competitors were swallowing up the market share for other large-scale medical equipment, practically rendering The Prescott Group's devices obsolete.

To successfully manage a conglomerate of that scale, and to ensure Quentin looked good, Madeline had to step away from Photon Tech.

She needed to dedicate herself entirely to the Group.

Silas just didn't know if Madeline would end up being used and discarded by Eleanor, or if Quentin would take all the credit for her hard work.

But he agreed to her request because of one crucial factor—a factor that guaranteed he would say yes.

He just wouldn't tell Madeline what it was.

Eleanor had been pressuring Silas to join The Prescott Group for a long time. She was getting older and wouldn't be able to hold onto power forever.

As the heir to her shares, the sooner Silas entered the company to take the reins, the better. Eleanor had made it clear: The Prescott Group would eventually be his, and she was merely guarding it for him.

In the past, he had fiercely resisted the idea.

But lately, he had been seriously considering it.

"Go do what you want to do. I accept."

Silas told himself silently that he would meet her again at The Prescott Group.

Hearing his agreement, Madeline felt a massive weight lift off her shoulders.

She was deeply grateful to Silas.

When she desperately needed a job, he gave her one.

Now that she needed to step back, he didn't make it difficult for her.

Madeline completed the handover process as quickly as possible.

Silas officially resigned from the university and took over her duties and ongoing projects.

Because he was the founder and a board member, the company's operations weren't disrupted at all.

Everything was finalized.

Madeline signed her resignation, non-disclosure, and non-compete agreements.

And with that, she left Photon Tech.

The very next day, she arrived at The Gemini Towers in the heart of the city.
