Evercrest Group had exploded onto the scene in recent years-a newcomer that snatched up Seaview City's most coveted property the moment it appeared. Everyone in the industry buzzed with speculation: Evercrest Group had to have some powerful force backing it, and behind that force, a mysterious mastermind. The real question on everyone's lips was, Who was the figure pulling the strings?
Alicia stared at Tyrone in shock.
How much trust must Tyrone have in her, to reveal a secret like this without hesitation? "You're you're the man behind Evercrest Group?"
Evercrest Group. The Evercrest Group. These days, there were only two local companies in Seaview City everyone talked about: Lawson & Co. and Evercrest Group. And Evercrest had quickly outpaced even the legendary Lawson.
During the years Alicia spent with Vincent, she'd overheard countless tense phone calls as he ordered his people to dig up anything-anything at all-about Evercrest Group's owner. But no matter how hard they tried, they never found a single clue.
Every rival in the city was desperate to uncover Evercrest's secrets. Know your enemy, know yourself that was the only way to compete. But with Vincent coming up empty-handed year after year, he'd been forced to bide his time, never daring to make the first move. That's what gave Evercrest the breathing room to rise.
She had to admit... Tyrone was a business genius. He'd used Lynch Corporation as a springboard, quietly built his own empire, and climbed higher than anyone expected.
No wonder he was always traveling for work, always making trips to Seaview City- so busy he barely had time left for her.
Tyrone gave her a small smile and reached for her from the sofa.
Alicia, trembling with excitement, rushed over and slipped onto his lap. Her voice was barely steady. "Tyrone... all this time, you were planning your escape route?" Did that mean Tyrone had always known Marcus might return with Easton and try to take control of Lynch Corporation? Was he prepared for that fight all along?
Tyrone's gaze turned thoughtful, as if searching for the right words to explain.
He'd started building his own network in secret at eighteen. Controlling Lynch Corporation had always been his public goal-the card everyone could see. But his real hand, the one no one expected, was the empire he'd built behind the scenes.
Ever since he met Alicia, he understood one thing: refusing to marry Nicole meant he'd risk losing his hold on the Lynch family. The agreement his father made with the White family years ago had locked him in place before he'd even grown his wings. How could he let anyone else dictate the course of his life and marriage?
He had to build his own safety net.
He'd thrown himself into this, worked himself to exhaustion-all to carve out a future for the girl he loved.
That was why he'd been so busy, so absent, unable to rush back to Seaview City to find her.

He'd planned for their future, but he'd never imagined she'd be so vulnerable, so easy to hurt, that she' endure all that bullyingcat school. Content belongs to Swnovel.net
If only he'd known sooner, he would have found her in time. Then maybe she never would have fallen for Vincent...
"But Lynch Corporation-I can't just
walk away from it. I built that with

smoothing her cheek with his thumb. "So, sweetheart, let's work a little harder. Easton's still not old enough to marry. If we have a baby, we can beat him to it, can't we?"
Alicia blushed furiously and buried her face in the crook of Tyrone's neck.
How could he talk about something like that so seriously, out of the blue?
"Okay... okay," she stammered, barely audible.
Guess they'd better hurry up and have a baby.
Just then, Tyrone's phone rang. He answered, his tone instantly shifting. "Hello?"

"Mr. Lynch. Your father has ordered everyone to keep quiet, and he's already brought Easton back into the Lynch family. Just as you predicted, he's making his move."
Tyrone's eyes darkened.
He'd given his father one last chance. And the old man had wasted it.
