Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 315

Fern’s thoughts drifted to the old man. Back when Maddox was young and hot-tempered, he’d wanted nothing more than to beat some sense into Marcus, that hopeless son of his.

But now? Now that Maddox was facing the end, all he could think about was how hard Marcus’s life had been.

People’s hearts, Fern thought, were far too fickle.

She didn’t want Tyrone to pin any hopes on Easton. If that day ever came, she was afraid Tyrone would only end up disappointed again, hurt all over.

“Maybe you’re right…” Tyrone understood. Maybe Easton was still innocent at nineteen, but what about when he turned twenty-nine—or thirty-nine?

People’s hearts… never stood up to the test.

Easton wanted to hold on to the Lynch Corporation shares, but who’s to say he wouldn’t change down the line? For himself, for his children, for any number of reasons?

Tyrone couldn’t help but laugh at himself. He’d made up his mind far too hastily this time.

He shouldn’t have expected anything from anyone at all.

“Sometimes, people aren’t half as loyal as a dog,” Fern murmured, stroking the tiny puppy curled up contentedly in Tyrone’s lap.

The puppy was so docile, as if it truly recognized its master, lying perfectly still in Tyrone’s arms.

People were just too changeable.

But a dog—once it chose its owner, that was it for life.

“Fern, I want to take a chance.” Tyrone looked up at her, determination flickering in his eyes.

He wanted to see if Easton would let them down—or prove them wrong.

…

The next morning, Lynch Corporation called a press conference.

Tyrone officially stepped down from the board, resigned from his roles as CEO and president, and left Lynch Corporation for good.

As soon as the news broke, Harboridge media erupted in chaos.

Not only that—Seaview City was abuzz with speculation.

After all, this was Tyrone: the young man hailed as a legend in Harboridge’s business world, the one who had taken Lynch Corporation to its peak. And now, he was stepping down at the height of his success?
