Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 237

She really was a great actress.

Tyrone’s brow furrowed. “Ms. Sinclair, Alicia wouldn’t just make something like this up.”

His trust in Alicia was unwavering.

Alicia’s eyes reddened with emotion; she hadn’t expected Tyrone to choose her over old debts.

“Tyrone, after all these years, do you know me better or her?” Serena’s voice quivered. “You really believe everything she says? I risked my life for you once, and now this is all the trust I get?”

“Even if you did save him, Tyrone’s paid that debt back a long time ago. Besides, he never asked you to risk your life—saving him was your choice, wasn’t it? So why keep using that favor to control him?” Alicia’s tone sharpened, her gaze fixed on Serena. “And even if you feel you’re owed, that doesn’t give you the right to hurt me. I never owed you anything.”

Serena had always been milking that old act of sacrifice.

“Ms. Sinclair, you’re not in the best health yourself. You should go home and get some rest. As for Melanie, I’ll handle things as I see fit,” Tyrone said evenly, signaling for Serena to leave. “My wife just lost our baby; she needs peace and quiet.”

Serena’s eyes glistened with unshed tears as she looked at Tyrone. She knew when to make a tactical retreat—if she stayed any longer, she’d only make Tyrone hate her more.

Clenching her fists, Serena shot Alicia a final look before turning away and leaving.

Still, she’d achieved her goal. With Alicia having lost the baby, all she needed was a little more pressure from Jade and the old man. Without the child, Serena was certain Tyrone would divorce Alicia sooner or later.

“Get some rest,” Tyrone said gently, ruffling Alicia’s hair.

As he moved to leave the hospital room, Alicia panicked and grabbed his wrist. “Will you… come back?” Her voice broke, trembling with fear.

She was terrified—terrified of being abandoned again, just as she’d been when she was a child, taken in and then cast aside when she was no longer useful.
