Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 137

Success comes from ability and the right connections—only then can you truly rise above.

Melanie nodded thoughtfully. "I understand…"

Alicia called Felix and told him to bring Tyrone's most expensive car around. "Come on, I'll take you back to campus. When your class is over tonight, I'll pick you up."

Melanie's eyes sparkled as she nodded, happiness lighting up her face.

In that moment, she didn't feel so alone anymore.

Felix pulled the car right up to the entrance of Melanie's dance academy.

A crowd had already gathered, whispering and casting curious glances—some recognized the car as Tyrone's.

After all, the arts college was full of wealthy students and heirs.

Melanie hopped out and waved goodbye to Alicia.

"Keep your chin up—don't let your crown slip," Alicia called, lowering the window with a warm smile. "You've always been a little princess."

Melanie grinned and dashed off to class.

Watching her go, Alicia felt a pang of sadness.

If only Melanie knew her mother was still alive—how happy she would be.
