Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 174

“Alicia, it’s just a medical exam. There’s no need to be so resistant—Maddox is only thinking of the Lynch family and Tyrone,” Vincent said, his voice steady but firm.

He didn’t want to make things hard for Alicia, but he hoped she’d take the hint and leave Tyrone of her own accord.

Since Alicia refused to listen, he had no choice but to give her a little nudge in the right direction.

“She’s just scared because she’s not pregnant. Guilty conscience, clearly,” Nicole sneered.

Albertine glanced anxiously at Alicia. “Alicia…”

Drawing in a deep breath, Alicia met Maddox’s eyes. “Fine. I’ll go to the hospital for the test.”

Whatever the result, it was still up to Tyrone to agree to a divorce.

If Tyrone said yes, she’d leave.

If he refused, then Tyrone would have to find a solution himself.

“Let’s go, then,” the old man grunted, leaning on his cane as he strode out of the room.

Nicole, looking thoroughly pleased with herself, shot Alicia a triumphant smirk before hurrying out. She quickly texted Jade: Taking Alicia for a blood test. No way she’s pregnant—she’s finished.

To the family patriarch, Alicia not being pregnant was a huge deal.

A woman who’d cozied up to Tyrone for money, spinning nothing but lies…

There was no way Maddox would let her stay in the Lynch family.

Vincent watched Alicia with a pang of guilt. He lingered, wanting to say something, but Alicia ignored him and left the hotel room with Albertine.

Vincent sighed. He didn’t care if Alicia hated him right now—one day she’d understand.

Everything he did was for her own good.

She was still too naïve, too ruled by her emotions, unable to grasp how dangerous the Lynch family really was.

Nothing good ever came from getting involved with someone like Tyrone.
