“Could you divorce Alicia if I asked you to?” Vincent’s tone was loaded with meaning.
“In your dreams.” Tyrone spun on his heel, ready to leave.
“I knew you wouldn’t go through with it.” Vincent drew a deep breath and spoke again. “I just need you to help me get what I want.”
“Such as?” Tyrone paused, glancing back at him.
“Such as shares and actual control of Lawson & Co.” Vincent’s voice was low and steady.
Tyrone arched a brow. “Fine by me.”
...
Lawson & Co.
Mayfield swaggered down the corridor, dragging Mina toward the elevator—just as Vincent stepped out. Mayfield made no effort to move aside, his arrogance dialed to ten.
“Well, well, Mina, look who it is. Mr. Lawson himself. Oh wait—should I even call you that anymore? Won’t be long before you’re out on the street, Vincent,” Mayfield sneered.
He’d just come from Stephen’s office, where Stephen had made it clear: if Vincent didn’t secure Tyrone’s investment, he was out of Lawson & Co. Mayfield was already celebrating.
“Move,” Vincent’s voice was cold, making it clear he wasn’t in the mood.
Mina shrank back, nervous, trying to step aside, but Mayfield yanked her back. “What are you scared for? We’re getting on the elevator—why should we move for him?”
Mayfield stared Vincent down. “You always thought you were better than us just because you’re legitimate, didn’t you? I doubt that’ll save you for much longer.”
Without another word, Vincent slammed his foot into Mayfield’s chest, sending him flying down the hall.
Mina shrieked in shock.
