Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 223

Even Chester was starting to wonder—maybe this man really was just having a psychotic episode, not targeting anyone in particular.

But Yvonne and Sean Quinn knew the truth behind Nicole’s parents’ deaths. They knew Quentin Walters was a master at putting on a façade.

“Maybe it’s just a coincidence?” Chester glanced at Sean.

He was the one who’d arranged for Sean and Yvonne to visit Quentin Walters, who was being held in a secure psychiatric facility.

Quentin was lucid now, but all he did was sob and insist he didn’t remember anything, that he was out of control and had no idea what happened.

“He could just be an ordinary man—maybe some unstable patient who lashes out at random,” Yvonne said, “but where did he get the poison that killed Alicia? That stuff’s banned—you can’t just get it anywhere.” She looked at Chester pointedly.

Chester nodded. That had bothered him, too.

He’d questioned Quentin Walters countless times, but Quentin never gave a straight answer—always claiming amnesia, insisting he didn’t know where the syringe had come from.

With Quentin refusing to cooperate and having unpredictable psychotic episodes, all they could do was keep him in the psychiatric hospital for now.

“He’s faking it,” Yvonne said coldly.

Chester looked surprised. “You think he’s pretending? But the doctors say he really is sick…”

Chester had suspected as much at first, but after hours of interrogation without a single slip-up or clue, he’d begun to doubt himself.

“I was an actress, remember? He’s good at pretending, but he seems to think a mental breakdown is just about acting crazy.” Yvonne glanced at Sean. “Don’t let him out yet. Find a time—we’ll try a different approach.”
