Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 60

The Lawson family estate was bustling, everyone gathered to celebrate Vincent's father's birthday. Mina, as the soon-to-be daughter-in-law, joined them for the occasion.

"Mina, how are the wedding plans coming along with Vin? Have you two set a date yet?" Vincent's mother beamed at Mina, her affection unmistakable.

Mina blushed, not wanting to drag things out any longer. "I'm fine with whatever Vin wants."

Vincent's mother laughed. "Well, what's there to wait for? Pick a good date and let's get you two engaged first," she nudged her husband.

Vincent's hand froze halfway to his mouth, fork in midair. His mind was elsewhere—he kept thinking about Alicia.

He'd hit Alicia that day…

"Vin?" His mother called his name, noticing his distraction.

He snapped back to reality. "Yeah… I'll let you know when we've picked a date."

Mina's expression darkened, her grip on her fork tightening. She could feel the threat looming over her—the wedding couldn't be delayed any longer. "Oh, I almost forgot to mention. Jade and I ran into Tyrone and his assistant at the mall today."

Vincent abruptly set his fork down. "Alicia was with Tyrone?"

He couldn't hide his irritation. Was Alicia still getting tangled up with Tyrone? He hadn't even broken up with her yet, and now…

"Yeah, who knows what Tyrone's thinking. He's from such an old-money Harboridge family—could have anyone he wants, yet he wants to marry Alicia, an orphan?" Mina said it offhandedly, but her words were barbed. "We were busy trying to set Alicia up with someone, but turns out she's got her own ambitions."

Vincent's face grew stormy. He shot to his feet. "Tyrone wants to marry Alicia? That's impossible!"

Mina dug her nails into her palm, fighting to keep her composure. "He took her shopping for luxury goods today."

Vincent's mother sniffed in disapproval. "Some women only care about money and handbags—so shallow."
