Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 138

Jade glanced at Winnie with an approving, almost calculating look. "You're smart. You know exactly what you want."

Winnie gave a small smile. "I just want to make sure nothing goes wrong."

"All you need to do is set up a meeting with her," Jade replied, her voice cool and detached. "Pretend you don't even know me—we've never met. My people will take care of the rest. As for what happens to her, you don't need to concern yourself."

To chase profit, you had to silence your conscience.

Winnie's signature smile never wavered. "But… what if something happens to Alicia? Could it come back to me?"

"No one will know you were involved," Jade said, matter-of-fact.

"I'm just a little worried…" Winnie feigned fear, letting her voice tremble.

"This is how the world works," Jade said loftily. "Survival of the fittest. There's no need to be afraid or anxious. You just need to focus on getting what you deserve."

Winnie paused, considering her next move. "Miss White, I'll need some time to think it over. Could you tell me exactly what you're offering? It would help me make a decision."

She was clever—she wanted Jade to state the terms outright.

"Our company, White Corporation, can sign a strategic partnership agreement with you. Any business we do related to food, your company will be our go-to supplier. That includes your agricultural and farming operations here in the country—we'll support it all."

It was a generous offer—almost too good to refuse.

Winnie weighed her options, then nodded with another pleasant smile. "Alright, Miss White. I'll give your offer serious thought."

Jade nodded, handed over her business card with an air of superiority, and strode out.

She'd done her homework on Winnie. From chatting with Winnie's colleagues, she knew the woman was ruthlessly ambitious—a gold-digger always trying to cozy up to powerful men on business trips. She'd dated a few already, and now her sights were set on Tyrone.

Someone who would befriend Alicia just to get close to Tyrone—did she even need to think twice? Clearly, she was only interested in maximizing her own gain.

Once Jade left, Winnie sat on the bed, staring at the business card, lost in thought.
