Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 286

“There’s something you need to know…” Clayton hesitated for a moment, brow furrowed, but ultimately decided he couldn’t let this opportunity slip by—Tyrone deserved the truth. “The real eldest daughter of the White family, Nicole, has been found.”

Tyrone’s face darkened. He glanced around, then quickly pulled Clayton into the living room. “Does Reginald know about this?”

Clayton shook his head. “I haven’t told anyone. Right now, it’s just me—and now, you.”

Tyrone fell silent, deep in thought. “The White family’s situation is messier than it looks. Until things with Brandon are sorted out, it’s better not to reveal your family’s true heiress just yet.”

He was being selfish, and he knew it. If the real Miss White came back, Reginald would do whatever it took to force her into marriage. That would only create more trouble…and he didn’t want Alicia to get hurt because of it.

“No one knows yet, so take this chance to get closer to your family’s heiress,” Tyrone said, trying to sound casual but switching to a goading tone. “You’re not exactly hard on the eyes—my wife does a double take every time she sees you. You’re telling me you can’t win over a girl?”

If Nicole really did fall for Clayton, she would go to Reginald herself. Reginald doted on his granddaughter, and Clayton was certainly capable enough; it would all work out.

Clayton fixed Tyrone with a complicated look.

Tyrone raised an eyebrow. “What? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Clayton took a deep breath. “You’d really give Miss White to me?”

“Of course. Didn’t we agree on this?” Tyrone replied, sinking into the sofa as if it were obvious.

“I went to Crystal Waters today,” Clayton said quietly, “to deliver Reginald’s message, telling Alicia to initiate a divorce with you.” He looked at Tyrone steadily.

Tyrone’s mood darkened further. “Are you upset because I haven’t confronted you about it yet?”

“In a panic, Alicia broke a glass and left a bloodstained tissue on the table. So I took her blood and ran a DNA test with Reginald. Alicia… is actually the real Nicole, the White family’s true heiress.” Clayton had considered keeping this from Tyrone, maybe even finding a way to force a divorce between him and Alicia.

But making an enemy of Tyrone outright? He knew he probably wouldn’t win that fight.

“So, Tyrone, I’m asking you—please divorce Alicia.” Clayton was blunt.

Divorce her. I want to marry her.

Tyrone just stared at him, dumbfounded, his mind stuck.

It was like Clayton had started speaking in tongues.
