Chapter 215 Future of the Lynches
Chapter 715 Future of the Lynches
The midday sun beat down with relentless intensity, filling the air with a heavy, writing heat the weed to weigh down on everything.
The world felt unnaturally still, disturbed only by the decasional flurry of wings as a few birds tank fight, their movements rustling the branches, once untouched by the breeze took
A bitter laugh escaped Vera's lips, cutting through the Bence like a sharp blade, her voice trembling with unspoken pain.
"The fall of the Lynches... Who else could be responsible
"If you hadn't let your pride and ruthless control as the family head rule over us, would the Lynches have crumbled to such depths?
"You forced your outdated, selfish ideals on all of us, pretending to be some kind of noble leader while looking only after your own interests!
"Do you ever think about us as individuals? About our right to live on our own terms, to have our own lives?
"Now, you stand here, talking about who dragged the family into the abyss. It's almost laughable!
"You think shifting all the blame onto someone else will clear your name? It won't! It's utterly impossible!
"My mother, she should have had a life full of happiness, yet you destroyed that with your own hands. You were the one who harmed her! You, you're the one who led the Lynches to their ruin! "When I was younger, I always thought that if my mother had come from a regular family, she could have been so much happier.
"She wouldn't have had to endure all these suffocating rules. She wouldn't have had to sacrifice her youth and freedom for your so-called 'family needs!
"She was just one woman-why should she have carried burdens that weren't hers to bear?
"I need to ask you, in families like yours, are children just tools? Just objects to be used for the so-called "greater good" of the family?
"You talk endlessly about education, duty, and responsibility, making it sound so virtuous.
"But in reality, all you care about is using 'family interests' as an excuse to serve your own desires!
"What family interests? It's just your own self-interest!
"Let's be clear-it's about sacrificing everyone else for the sake of your own selfish gain!
"How shameful! How dare you treat your children like puppets!
"When did you ever care about their emotions, their true happiness?
"And now... now you're going to lecture me on the downfall of the Lynches! Let me tell you something-
Chapter 715 Future of the Lynches
your selfish, rotting family should have fallen a long time ago! Its mere existence is a curse!
"I don't want your 50% shares!".
A sudden, wild laugh erupted from Viola, echoing through the Lynch mansion like a mad cackle.
"Steven, do you see this? This is what the descendants of the Lynches have become-how tragic!
"Do you still not believe I'm the one who treated you the best in this entire family?
"Even when I had Samael drug you to make you sleep longer, it was all for the sake of restoring the Lynch Group before you woke up!
"I didn't want you to see the ugliest side of the family, but it was necessary!
"For all these years, I've endured things you couldn't even imagine!
"Do you see this, Steven? Our descendants, the ones we tried to protect, now point fingers at us, cursing us for making their lives miserable in the name of 'family interests-it's almost absurd! Hahaha "Steven, do you understand now? This is the family you're defending, the one you call responsible for pulling the Lynches into the abyss!
"We didn't destroy the Lynch Group, not me, not you-it was our own children!
"They were born into the comfort and security we built for them!
"Without us, where would they be? Their starting point is better than what people have to fight their whole lives to achieve, and they still complain! "With all the family's protection, they scream for freedom-how can they be so blind to their privilege?
"There's no such thing as endless freedom in this world!
"The Lynches are a unified whole, and every member must sacrifice for the family's prosperity.
"Only then can the family survive and thrive. It's a balance of give and take-how could it ever be just about the family's interests?
"But listen to them, Steven!
"They vent all their rage on us!
"Steven, you risked everything to build the Lynch empire!
"And you sacrificed so much for them!.
"If these kids didn't have the name of the Lynches, they would be lost in the lower ranks of society by now. They're truly despicable!"
Vera's expression twisted into a sneer. "So your idea of family interest' is to sacrifice the happiness of everyone else?
"Your tricks may work for a while, but they won't fool anyone forever.

"You are just serving your own vanity and desires-not he so-called Lynches' and certainly not the future of the Lynches!
"If not, then tell me why did my mother have to leave everything behind because of you, to walk down a road from which there was no return?
"Isn't that on you?
"How could you imprison her? How could you ignore her happiness?
"You've turned all your family members into your slaves, using the family interests' and 'future of the Lynches' as excuses-you're cowardly, shameless, and hypocritical!" Steven let out a long, regretful sigh. "Vera, will you listen to me for a moment?
"I carry a heavy burden of responsibility for your mother's fate, but things aren't as you think."
Vera wiped her tears away with a cold laugh. Fine, explain. Let's see who really caused my mother's tragic end
Steven shook his head sadly.
"When your mother returned home after her studies, Iwas preparing her to take over as head of the Lynch Group.
"Your Uncle Kenneth was nowhere near her level in terms of ability.
"They had a very close relationship.
"Kenneth was willing to pass the reins of the company to Sharon.
"But then, something completely unforeseen happened, and I had no choice but to keep Sharon, at the peak of her career and success, locked up in the Lynch Mansion.
"I was preoccupied with national matters and couldn't address it right away.
"Looking back now, I realize that I was wrong. My actions were extreme, and they caused the tragedy that followed. I'm not making excuses.noveldrama
"But I had no other choice!
"I couldn't just watch your mother fall into a trap set for her and do nothing!"
Vera narrowed her eyes. "A trap? What are you talking about?"
