Chapter 198: Reaping What They Sowed
Tyson sat in his executive chair, legs casually crossed, expression cold as winter steel.
Finished
When the door to the top–floor conference room opened and Nathan, Evelyn, and Naomi were escorted in, the man didn’t even flinch. He didn’t need to–his silence alone was oppressive.
Nathan, sensing the tension, instantly abandoned his dignity. He rushed forward on his knees, practically crawling to Tyson’s feet.
“Mr. Tyson! Please, I beg you–help us! We’re finished! If you don’t lend us a hand, the Rivers family will be ruined in Westbrook by tomorrow!”
Tyson’s gaze was fixed and unblinking, his fingers lightly tapping on the armrest. Then he spoke–flat, almost amused:
“Oh? So now you’re saying the Rivers family has reached a dead end?”
Nathan nodded frantically. “Yes, yes! We’ve lost everything. But you–you’re powerful! If you say the word, we can recover!”
Tyson’s smile was like a blade. “So… Eliza’s identity has already been exposed to the Sue family.”
The moment he said that, Nathan’s heart dropped. He knows.
Tyson tilted his head. “That means the Rivers family is no longer of any use to me. And if you’re no longer useful, then why would I help you?”
Nathan panicked. “You–You can’t say that! After everything we’ve done for you–this is betrayal!”
Tyson chuckled darkly. “And? When did I ever claim to be a virtuous man?”
The temperature in the room dropped.
“Let me remind you,” Tyson continued, “I’m the one who pushed Naomi into Claire University, bypassing all protocol. I’m the one who arranged the fake DNA results. I gave you every opportunity to deceive the Sue family. And now that your charade has collapsed, you come crawling back?”
His words were quiet, but each syllable hit like a hammer.
“I’ve already done more for you than you deserved. You should be thanking me, not whining at my feet. The fact that you’re even standing in my presence is my final act of mercy.”
Nathan, Evelyn, and Naomi all dropped to their knees. Naomi’s voice cracked as she cried:
“Please! We’ll do anything! We can still help you–we’ll help you fight Nolan! Just give us one more chance!”
At that, Tyson finally looked directly at her.
“You?” he said, tone dripping with mockery. “You think you can help me take down Nolan?”

A dangerous smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
