When Tyrone was a child, he didnât hate his mother. In fact, he almost pitied her. He never called her âMom,â but he never wished her harm, either.
No matter how many times she hurt him, he simply told himself to endure it a little longerâthat things would get better once he grew up.
But the abuse only escalated.
Whenever Marcus stayed out all night, sheâd record videos of herself hurting Tyrone and send them to him.
When Marcus was out carousing with other women, sheâd force Tyrone to kneel in the living room for hours.
More than once, if Grandfather hadnât arrived just in time, Tyrone might not have survived.
Grandfather wanted to take Tyrone away, but his mother refused.
âIf everyone in this family is crazy,â she said, âthen Tyrone has to be crazy too. He has to suffer like the rest of us.â
Eventually, Marcus brought one of his mistresses home. That was the final strawâhis mother snapped.
She grabbed a kitchen knife in a fit of rage and stabbed Marcusâs lover to death. Then, wild-eyed, she turned on Tyrone.
Young as he was, Tyrone sobbed and pleaded with her to stop, but all he saw in her eyes was murderous intent.
She stabbed him. And maybe, in that moment, some sliver of maternal instinct finally broke through. She collapsed into tears, and, with the last shred of her sanity, pressed the bloody knife into Tyroneâs hands. âTyrone, save me... please, save me,â she begged.
âSave me, Tyrone...â
For years afterward, the image of his motherâcovered in blood, wailing for Tyrone to rescue herâhaunted his nightmares.
She was already lost to madness, unable to control her emotions or actions. Death, for her, was the only escape.
She gripped her sonâs hand around the knife, guided the tip to her chest, and begged him to end her suffering.
Tyrone was just a child. As he sat there, soaked in blood, his expression slowly turned cold and distant.
With his own hands, he drove the blade into his motherâs heart.
He sat quietly beside her body, waiting for the police to arrive.

ï¤Chapter 302 The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind ......
Tyrone never told Easton the details of what happened that night. He only told him that Marcus was responsible for her deathâthat her misery, her breakdown, her madness, all stemmed from Marcus.
But Marcus never reflected, never felt guilt.
To him, sheâd always been a lunatic. He just considered himself unlucky to have married a madwoman.
He never realized that his words, his glances, every careless gesture and act, were what drove her over the edge.
âBro...â Eastonâs voice was hoarse as he bowed his head, fighting back tears. He didnât dare cryâhe felt he didnât even deserve to.
After Marcus married Eastonâs mother, he was a lazy good-for-nothing. But honestly, Valery wasnât any better. They deserved each otherâa perfect match in their own miserable way. Eastonâs childhood was tough, and he had to grow up fast, but compared to Tyrone, heâd had it easy.
âBecause of Marcusâs negligence, Lynch Corporation lost billionsânearly went bankrupt. He only signed away his rights to the Lynch familyâs inheritance to dodge responsibility, because he thought the family was finished, drowning in debt. He was afraid of being dragged down with them...â
It was the White family who stepped in when things were at their worst. They saved Maddox, kept Lynch Corporation alive, and filled the gaping financial hole Marcus had left behind.
When Tyrone returned to the Lynch Corporation, it took only a few years for him to restore the company to its former glory.
âBro...â Easton looked up at Tyrone, his voice trembling. âI wonât fight you for it. I donât deserve to.â
Tyrone smiled faintly, flicking his lighter and watching the flame dance. âItâs not about whether you want to fight for it. Everyone wants you to, even Grandfather... heâs fighting for you. So, Easton, you have to fight.â
Easton froze, wide-eyed with panic. âBro...â
