Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 279

“How about this—should the two of you be banned from entering in the future as well?” Shawn Lockwood’s tone was icy, leaving no room for negotiation.

Tyrone sat quietly, calmly serving Alicia food as if nothing had happened. He didn’t bother intervening; situations like this were better left for others to handle.

“Kenney!” Jade shouted, her voice shaking with anger.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please step outside. My guests would like to finish their meal in peace,” Kenney interjected quickly, especially after Tyrone’s fork clattered a little too loudly on the plate.

Security swiftly escorted the three women out.

Thrown out of Crystal Waters in such a humiliating way, Jade, Nicole, and Mina stood fuming just beyond the entrance.

Mina glared back at the restaurant, her resentment spilling over. “Just who’s really behind Evercrest Group? They’re so arrogant! They’ve been shutting us out and biting our heels at every turn.”

Jade’s expression soured, clearly annoyed at being implicated. “The Holloway family sent someone to Crystal Waters and didn’t even bother to let us know. Now look at us—making a fool of ourselves.”

Mina’s voice faltered. “I... I didn’t know—”

Jade snorted and turned away, unwilling to waste any more time on the business squabbles of Seaview City. All she wanted now was to see Tyrone brought down, trampled in the mud.

“Sis, where are we going?” Nicole asked anxiously, trailing behind.

“We’re going to see Easton. You have to win him over for me! Let’s see how smug Tyrone is after that.” Jade’s eyes flashed with determination. Once Tyrone was no longer CEO of Lynch Corporation, would Kenney still be so eager to curry favor with him? It was all just the Lynch family’s name propping him up anyway.

“Alright...” Nicole nodded obediently.

Inside the private dining room, Tyrone continued eating in silence, but anyone with eyes could sense the tension radiating from him.

Alicia agreed, and the two women left together.

“Mr. Lynch, I truly apologize for the Holloway family’s shameless behavior—using Crystal Waters’ name to stir up trouble...” Kenney apologized again as soon as they were gone.

“Evercrest Group should keep a low profile for now—don’t draw unnecessary attention. Focus on securing the Neon Trade District project as soon as possible,” Tyrone instructed.

Kenney hesitated, a trace of worry in his voice. “But the Lawson family is determined to get the Neon Trade District. Vincent isn’t lacking in influence, and the Lawsons have deep roots in Seaview City.”

“I’ll compete with Vincent for the project under the Lynch Corporation’s name. The developers won’t dare offend either Lynch or Lawson & Co., so Evercrest Group can swoop in and pick up the spoils.” Tyrone leaned back in his chair, a picture of nonchalance, idly tapping his fingers on the table.

Kenney nearly choked on his water, then gave Tyrone a thumbs up—two companies against one, using an alias to outmaneuver Vincent.

Tyrone simply raised an eyebrow, unconcerned. If Vincent wanted to play dirty, he’d play along. Did Vincent really think Tyrone didn’t know who was behind the trouble with Marcus and Easton?
