Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 387

387 /387

Stephen cursed under his breath, jaw clenched. “That coward.”

“So, Tyrone turned down the investment in Lawson & Co.’s project,” Vincent said, his voice low and steady.

“Vincent, I don’t care what you have to do, just seal the deal. Get Tyrone on board.” Stephen’s tone was final, brooking no argument. “If you fail, pack your things and get the hell out of Lawson & Co.”

“If you want my help with Tyrone, you’ll have to give up some control,” Vincent replied bluntly. “Hand over my shares, let me take the lead, and I’ll guarantee Tyrone invests in us.”

Stephen eyed Vincent suspiciously. “Is this your idea of kicking a man when he’s down? Trying to outmaneuver your old man?”

“If you think you’ve got a better option, go ahead, send Mayfield,” Vincent shot back with a cold smile. “You’re not wrong—I do want what’s rightfully mine. Sooner or later, those shares will be mine anyway. You might as well think it over.”

With that, Vincent turned on his heel and walked out.

Stephen muttered a string of curses, knowing full well that Vincent was ambitious—give him control now, and he’d be impossible to rein in later. Then again, as long as Vincent’s mother was still in Stephen’s hands, there was only so much Vincent could do. Still, handing over the shares wasn’t something Stephen was ready for.

“Mr. Lawson! Bad news!” his assistant burst into the office, breathless. “You told me to keep an eye on Tyrone—he’s met with Clayton from White Corporation recently, and today he went to Evercrest Group to see their CEO.”

Now, Stephen’s worry was palpable. Tyrone not investing in Lawson & Co. was one thing, but if Evercrest Group managed to win him over, it would be a disaster.

“Go get Vincent! Now!” Stephen snapped, panic rising.
