Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 276

Alicia couldn't shake the feeling that Tyrone was treating her like a child, gently humoring her.

…

Crystal Waters.

This was the Holloway family’s crown jewel—a lavish, members-only club that once stood as the pride of Seaview City. Mina’s grandfather had founded Crystal Waters, famously declaring that as long as the Holloway family stood strong, Crystal Waters would never change hands.

Their driver pulled up in front of the dazzling entrance. Winnie’s eyes lit up with excitement; after all, everyone dreamed of experiencing the club’s legendary luxury.

Alicia grew pale, casting Tyrone a puzzled glance. Wasn’t this supposed to be Holloway territory? After all, it was right here that she’d helped put Henry behind bars.

“Crystal Waters started out as an upscale playground for the city’s elite,” Tyrone said in a measured tone, “but Mina’s father shifted things into shadier business over the years. Now, the Holloways don’t own it anymore.”

Alicia’s shock was plain—if the Holloways had let go of Crystal Waters, things must be worse for them than she’d realized.

Winnie’s jaw dropped. “My dad heard a rumor,” she whispered, “that the Holloways got crushed by Evercrest Group. They’ve been desperately trying to find out who Evercrest’s real boss is—must’ve crossed the wrong person. Honestly, I bet Crystal Waters belongs to Evercrest now.”

Alicia glanced at Tyrone, searching his face—could that rumor really be true?

Tyrone just smiled, silent but unmistakably confirming it.

But why was Tyrone so intent on bringing down the Holloways? Was it because of her? Or was she just imagining things?

Before Alicia could dwell on it, Tyrone squeezed her hand. “To be precise, the Holloways lost this place three months ago. They’re just too proud to make it public. Evercrest’s spent those months renovating. Tonight’s the grand reopening.”

Winnie’s excitement was palpable; an event like this would draw the city’s wealthiest bachelors, and she couldn’t wait to try her luck.
