Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 444

Clayton fell silent for a long moment, eyes fixed on Alicia as if his interest had suddenly been piqued. “And what exactly do you mean by ‘collaboration’?” he asked.

Alicia leaned in, her lips almost brushing his ear as she whispered, “I know who the real heir to the White family is.”

A flicker of shock flashed across Clayton’s face. He regarded Alicia with a fresh wariness.

So Tyrone was right—Alicia was never the obedient girl everyone thought she was.

Nicole’s true identity had been kept under tight wraps, secrets closely guarded from top to bottom. Yet Alicia had managed to piece it together.

“Your grandfather must have made sure the real Ms. White is set up for success,” Alicia said, her gaze unwavering. “He’s given her all the leverage she needs.”

Clayton sat in silence, then a slow, knowing smile crept onto his face.

There was a hint of threat in Alicia’s words—he could hear it plainly.

In her eyes, he caught a flash of distrust, caution, a veiled warning, and just a trace of challenge.

With a fortune as vast as the White family’s at stake, Alicia didn’t believe for a second that Clayton could remain indifferent.

If the real Ms. White never returned, and with Brandon White and Jade already out of the picture, then everything the White family owned would one day belong to Clayton.

But if Ms. White did come home, Clayton would never be more than the loyal “watchdog” Reginald had trained to serve his granddaughter.

The choice was obvious to anyone: Be the dog, or become the master.

That’s why Alicia didn’t trust him. Or perhaps, she simply couldn’t see through him.

She could read Vincent like an open book, but Clayton was a different story.
