Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 277

He really is wonderful.

No matter what Tyrone did, he never rushed to tell Alicia about it. Yet somehow, he always managed to handle everything flawlessly.

“What do you want to eat? Take a look.” Tyrone led Alicia to a private dining room. Winnie, clearly uninterested in sitting down to eat, had already dashed off, buzzing with excitement as she worked the room to expand her network.

Tyrone rather liked girls with that kind of social intuition—Winnie knew exactly when to give them space to be alone together.

Alicia glanced over the menu and ordered a few of her favorite vegetables, then handed it to Tyrone.

He ordered a fillet of fish and, sitting close beside her, began methodically deboning it for her, his movements calm and precise.

Maybe it was the way he’d been brought up, Alicia thought, but watching Tyrone prepare the fish felt almost mesmerizing—a kind of quiet pleasure that made even the simplest gestures seem refined.

Suddenly, just as Alicia was happily tucking into her meal, someone kicked open the door on purpose. Nicole and Jade had both returned to Seaview City, and it was obvious they were here for Easton.

Of course, they weren’t about to miss a chance to take a jab at Tyrone, now that he was on the verge of losing his claim to the Lynch family inheritance.

It was no secret that Jade and her father were as cunning as they came; both could see Maddox was grooming Easton as the new heir. Especially Jade—after all the trouble Tyrone had caused her, her father’s business was still in ruins. There was no way she’d miss the opportunity for payback.

Tyrone’s expression darkened. He glanced at the waiter standing just outside.

“I’m so sorry, Mr. Lynch—I couldn’t stop them…” The waiter stammered nervously. “This lady insisted she knows you.”

Nicole strutted across the room and dropped into the seat opposite Tyrone, fixing him with a smug look. “Tyrone, you know exactly what Maddox intends, don’t you? As long as you refuse to divorce her and marry me, you’re never getting the Lynch family inheritance. You’ll be out on the street.”

Tyrone’s worth had never depended on anyone but himself.

“Mr. Lynch, if you lose your title at Lynch Corporation, you probably won’t even have the chance to eat here anymore. At Crystal Waters, we only serve guests of a certain standing.” Mina strolled in from the hallway, a cold smile playing on her lips, radiating the airs of a hostess.

Clearly, she had no idea Tyrone was the real owner behind Evercrest Group—she thought the sale of Crystal Waters by the Holloway family was still a secret.

With Mina now joining the fray, Jade looked even more pleased with herself as she glanced between Alicia and Tyrone. “Mr. Lynch, people who are used to living above the clouds can never adapt to life in the mud. Look at your father—he’s already come crawling back with his son, hasn’t he?”

Alicia sucked in a sharp breath. Mina, Jade, and Nicole were all here for the sole purpose of tearing Tyrone down.

Sitting beside him, Alicia could feel the tension in the air growing heavier by the second…
