He really is wonderful.
No matter what Tyrone did, he never rushed to tell Alicia about it. Yet somehow, he always managed to handle everything flawlessly.
âWhat do you want to eat? Take a look.â Tyrone led Alicia to a private dining room. Winnie, clearly uninterested in sitting down to eat, had already dashed off, buzzing with excitement as she worked the room to expand her network.
Tyrone rather liked girls with that kind of social intuitionâWinnie knew exactly when to give them space to be alone together.
Alicia glanced over the menu and ordered a few of her favorite vegetables, then handed it to Tyrone.
He ordered a fillet of fish and, sitting close beside her, began methodically deboning it for her, his movements calm and precise.
Maybe it was the way heâd been brought up, Alicia thought, but watching Tyrone prepare the fish felt almost mesmerizingâa kind of quiet pleasure that made even the simplest gestures seem refined.
Suddenly, just as Alicia was happily tucking into her meal, someone kicked open the door on purpose. Nicole and Jade had both returned to Seaview City, and it was obvious they were here for Easton.
Of course, they werenât about to miss a chance to take a jab at Tyrone, now that he was on the verge of losing his claim to the Lynch family inheritance.
It was no secret that Jade and her father were as cunning as they came; both could see Maddox was grooming Easton as the new heir. Especially Jadeâafter all the trouble Tyrone had caused her, her fatherâs business was still in ruins. There was no way sheâd miss the opportunity for payback.
Tyroneâs expression darkened. He glanced at the waiter standing just outside.
âIâm so sorry, Mr. LynchâI couldnât stop them...â The waiter stammered nervously. âThis lady insisted she knows you.â
Nicole strutted across the room and dropped into the seat opposite Tyrone, fixing him with a smug look. âTyrone, you know exactly what Maddox intends, donât you? As long as you refuse to divorce her and marry me, youâre never getting the Lynch family inheritance. Youâll be out on the street.â
She smirked, casting a pointed glance at Alicia. âIf you donât want to get thrown out by the old man, youâd better hurry up and get rid of her, then come beg me properly. Who knows, maybe if Iâm feeling generous, Iâll agree to marry you first.â
Nicole was certain that as soon as Tyrone refused her, heâd lose everything and be left for everyone to trample on.

She was warning Tyrone to choose wisely.
He barely reacted, his face unreadable as he continued deftly removing the bones from Aliciaâs fish. Then he set the perfectly filleted piece on her plate. âEat up. Donât mind the barking of stray dogs.â
Alicia smiled and nodded.
In that moment, she finally understood why those in real power always looked at people like Nicole and Jade as if they were watching a circus act.
From Tyroneâs perspective, even without his title as president of Lynch Corporation, he still possessed other identities that were far more formidable.
Nicole and Jade really thought that, once he lost the Lynch name, Tyrone would be worthless? They couldnât have been more wrong.
Tyroneâs worth had never depended on anyone but himself.
âMr. Lynch, if you lose your title at Lynch Corporation, you probably wonât even have the chance to eat here anymore. At Crystal Waters, we only serve guests of a certain standing.â Mina strolled in from the hallway, a cold smile playing on her lips, radiating the airs of a hostess.
Clearly, she had no idea Tyrone was the real owner behind Evercrest Groupâshe thought the sale of Crystal Waters by the Holloway family was still a secret.
With Mina now joining the fray, Jade looked even more pleased with herself as she glanced between Alicia and Tyrone. âMr. Lynch, people who are used to living above the clouds can never adapt to life in the mud. Look at your fatherâheâs already come crawling back with his son, hasnât he?â
Alicia sucked in a sharp breath. Mina, Jade, and Nicole were all here for the sole purpose of tearing Tyrone down.
Sitting beside him, Alicia could feel the tension in the air growing heavier by the second...
