Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 454

Easton’s performance clearly pleased both Natalia and Shaw.

The two began scheming in earnest, pulling every string they could to help Easton seize power.

And Easton didn’t disappoint. No sooner had he gained a shred of authority than he went after Tyrone Lynch’s old loyalists, ruthlessly firing several key middle managers from sensitive departments.

“Easton’s just a clueless kid! Give him control of Lynch Corporation and the place will go down in flames!” The boardroom echoed with criticism as senior executives began openly attacking Easton.

With the company in turmoil, everyone was walking on eggshells, worried about their own positions.

“Easton is Patriarch Maddox Lynch’s chosen successor. Are you really planning to defy him by saying this?” someone shot back.

“After everything the old man did for you, is this how you repay him?”

The leadership was now split in two: those loyal to Easton, and those convinced he was hopelessly out of his depth.

“When Mr. Tyrone Lynch was still around, he said Easton could take over eventually—but only when he was truly ready,” one executive pointed out reasonably.

“Tyrone’s dead! And even if he were alive, he’d have been pushed out of the company by now. Why should we keep listening to him?” Natalia strode into the room, her voice cold and commanding. “Easton is the only heir. Whether you want to hand over control or not, you’re going to.”

With that, Natalia gestured for Easton to take the head seat at the table.

Easton sat down without a word, letting Natalia do all the talking for him.

“While Easton was away at school, I was the one overseeing the company’s day-to-day operations,” Natalia said, looking pointedly at those around her.

At this, the old guard left by Tyrone erupted in protest.

“Having a housekeeper’s daughter on the management team? This is absurd. The old man trained us to support the executives—not to run the show ourselves!” someone shouted, standing up in anger. “This is lunacy! If Mr. Lynch insists on this, then I have no choice but to resign!”

“Threatening us with your resignation? Fine. Go ahead. HR, give Mr. Mathew an extra six months’ severance for all I care,” Easton said, rising to defend Natalia.

By now, most saw Easton as an incompetent pushover, a lost cause.

His words sent several executives storming out, slamming the table in outrage.
