Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 473

Once the others had left, Tyrone gently placed the babies beside Alicia and wrapped his arms around her. “You’ve done so much, sweetheart. Thank you.”

Alicia smiled, her heart full of happiness. In that moment, every hardship felt worthwhile. “We still haven’t named the twins.”

“Let’s decide together,” Tyrone replied, grinning as he sat at the edge of the bed, watching the two little ones sleeping soundly.

Clayton hadn’t contacted Natalia for days, and she was nearly losing her mind. Finally, she stormed straight to the headquarters of White Corporation, determined to confront him.

“Clayton! Why have you… why have you been ignoring my messages?” Natalia blocked his path as he was about to get into his car, her voice trembling.

Clayton sighed, looking troubled. “Natalia, I’ve always thought of you as a little sister. For now, I think it’s best if we keep some distance.”

Natalia’s frustration boiled over. “Did someone say something bad about me to you?”

Clayton studied her for a moment. “When you were overseas, did you… bully people?”

Natalia’s heart skipped a beat—someone really had ratted her out. “Clayton, I was just the housekeeper’s daughter with no power or influence. Who could I possibly bully? Maddox sent me to schools full of rich kids. If anything, they picked on me first—I just stood up for myself.”

Tears welled up in her eyes as she pleaded, “Please don’t listen to those rumors, especially not from Jade. She’s the last person who should be judging anyone, given her own mess of a life.”

Clayton raised an eyebrow. “You’re right, I shouldn’t have jumped to conclusions. I’m sorry. But I really have urgent business today—let me make it up to you with dinner another time.”

Relief washed over Natalia, and she managed a smile. “Alright, Clayton. I’ll wait for your call.”

Clayton climbed into his car, but the smile faded from his face almost immediately.

On the drive, his assistant spoke up quietly. “Sir, Natalia had someone kidnap a woman and her child.”

Easton had just finished moving into his new apartment when his phone rang. “Natalia’s taken the woman and her kid. Shaw knows, and things are about to explode between father and daughter.”

Easton raised an eyebrow. “Natalia doesn’t waste any time… I thought it’d take her at least another six months.”

It had only been a few months, yet she’d already pulled it off.

Easton chuckled to himself. It was clear he needed to finish his studies as quickly as possible. If Natalia and Shaw tore each other apart, he could swoop in and reap the rewards.

“We shouldn’t get involved too soon,” he said calmly. “Let them fight it out for a while—we just need to stoke the flames here and there.”

Now, it was just a matter of seeing who was more ruthless—Natalia or Shaw.
