Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 361

Easton nodded. “I know... But until I have some real power, I have to act obedient, play the good son, and keep Tyrone’s suspicions at bay.”

Natalia nodded in agreement. “You’re not wrong, but... growing this way is too slow. Sure, school will broaden your horizons, but you also need someone powerful in your corner.”

Easton gave a bitter smile. “I have no family, no connections. Where am I supposed to find a patron?”

“Tyrone inherited all that wealth, and yet he’s still struggling. Why? Same reason—you have no one backing you. Too many people are waiting to see him fail; no one wants him to rise again. But you, Easton, you’re an eagle. You just haven’t spread your wings yet.” Natalia looked at him intently, her tone earnest. “You have to learn to be ruthless. Use every person, every opportunity that comes your way. Climb, no matter what it takes.”

“I don’t understand.” Easton frowned, confusion written across his face.

“The enemy of your enemy is your friend. You have to learn to use leverage.” Natalia was a highly capable woman; otherwise, the old man would never have invested so much in her or placed her at Easton’s side.

Originally, the old man had raised this batch of talent to help Tyrone, but Easton’s appearance had changed everything.

“The White family—Brandon, to be specific—is the last person who wants Tyrone to rise again. Right now, he’s Patriarch Reginald White’s only son. Sure, they found Nicole, but once Reginald passes, Brandon will hold all the real power. You could make a deal with him: give up your marriage for now, marry Nicole, get close to the White family, hand some benefits to Brandon, and let him become your backer.”

Natalia finally laid out her true intentions.

Easton looked at her, eyes sharp with meaning.

So, she’s already taken Brandon’s side...

“Brandon...” Easton looked away. “I don’t like the guy, and I have no intention of marrying Nicole.”

“Easton, this isn’t the time for pride,” Natalia pleaded, her voice urgent. “You’re completely alone right now. Only by becoming the White family’s son-in-law can you secure your position, keep the Lynch Corporation’s board in check, and leave Tyrone with nowhere to turn.”

Easton said nothing and walked toward the living room.

“Easton.”
