Chapter 125

All eyes turned toward the doorway of the dressing room.

Nicole hadn’t anticipated Alicia calling her out so bluntly this time.

She took a small step back, her voice wavering almost timidly. “Alicia, it’s not what you think. I was just ”

“Save it.” Alicia cut in, her tone dripping with irritation. “Leo and your mom are still breathing. Do you have to walk around looking so miserable every single day? It’s exhausting to watch.”

Upon hearing her words, everyone in the room stared in disbelief.

Not only had she addressed their father by his first name, but she had also spoken in a manner none of them expected.

Kevin was the first to break the silence. “Alicia, what are you even saying?”

She turned her gaze toward him, her tone sharp. “Got a problem with your hearing? Do I need to repeat myself?”

Kevin and the others exchanged uneasy glances. No matter how tense things had gotten before, Alicia had never been this outright cutting.

Nicole hadn’t expected Alicia to be so blunt either.

A flicker of triumph stirred inside her, though she made sure to widen her eyes in feigned shock. “You can insult me all you want, but why bring Dad into it? And to even talk about him dying?”

Alicia’s lips curved into a faint, sardonic smile. “Aren’t you the one who’s always so delicate, crying about ending it all? Yet all these years, you’ve never actually gone through with it.

“Why not put on a little performance for us now?

“Since you’re so unwilling to mourn Leo and the others, maybe they could mourn you instead.”

Nicole stared, genuinely taken aback. “How could you?!”

‘She’s really lost it, actually telling me to die, she thought.

Tears welled up instantly as she turned a helpless, pleading look toward the Hammond brothers.

Austin frowned, his expression heavy with disapproval. “We know you don’t like Nicole, but that was too

much.”

Alicia met his gaze with a cold laugh. “If you know I can’t stand her, why do you keep shoving her in my face? Isn’t that just asking for trouble?

“All she does is sob and whine. If that’s not a performance, what is?

“Maybe you enjoy the drama, but I’m not twisted enough to appreciate such a depressing show.”

Austin faltered, momentarily speechless. “You!”

“Moron.” Alicia rolled her eyes, her voice flat

His eyes widened. “What did you just call me?”

She arched a brow, unimpressed. “Moron. Need me to say it again?

“Have you completely lost your mind? I’m still your brother,” Austin shot back, disbelief coloring his

words.

Alicia let out a derisive snort. “Letting yourself be played like a puppet, yeah, that’s pretty moronic

“And just so we’re clear. I’ve cut ties with all of you.

“So don’t pull the ‘big brother’ card on me anymore.

“Honestly, at this point, I’m just worried you’ll try to drag me down with you. Do us both a favor and stay out of my life.”

Austin’s expression darkened. “Who said you could cut ties? We never agreed to that.”

Alicia rolled her eyes again. “Since when do I need your permission? Who do you think you are?

“I walk away when I want. Your agreement has nothing to do with it.”
