Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 492

Brandon and Jade stood rigidly outside the emergency room, unable to go in, yet knowing they couldn’t just walk away.

If they left now, the press would have a field day, spinning the story that they’d given up on the inheritance battle.

Brandon’s expression had soured ever since he hung up the phone. Both of them knew they’d been outmaneuvered by Alicia.

Or, to be more precise, they’d been outplayed by Tyrone.

Before Tyrone’s accident, the elusive “Mister” behind the scenes had already been plotting to get rid of Alicia. Even Maddox, in his final years, had considered erasing both Alicia and the child she carried. But after Maddox died and Tyrone’s downfall, Alicia—a seemingly frail, powerless orphan—no longer appeared to be a threat in anyone’s eyes.

Everyone assumed that with Tyrone gone, Alicia would be an easy target, a pushover who could be manipulated at will. After all, what harm could a lone woman possibly do?

But when Lawson & Co. set their trap for Tyrone, Alicia responded by investing Tyrone’s entire estate into the Evercrest Group, tying her fate—and fortune—irreversibly to theirs.

“We should’ve dealt with her before she funneled Tyrone’s inheritance into Evercrest Group,” Jade spat, barely containing her resentment. “Now look at the mess. Not only is she the heir to White Corporation, but she’s got the Evercrest Group’s bigwigs backing her.”

“She’s too clever for her own good,” Brandon growled. “She played weak to lower our guard, then used her entire inheritance and the resulting media frenzy to put herself in the spotlight. Finally, she invested everything with Evercrest Group, binding herself to their capital. Now, who’d dare move against her?”

For all their scheming, they’d ended up being outsmarted by a woman—a woman they’d always dismissed as beneath them.

Jade was so furious she could barely speak. Of all the outcomes, seeing Alicia come this far was the last thing she’d ever wanted.
