Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 479

Kenney nodded. “Mr. Lynch, there’s one more thing. The capital behind Stephen’s new company—it’s connected to the Edwards family.”

In other words, the Edwards family had invested in Stephen’s business.

Tyrone stayed silent.

If the people pulling the strings really belonged to the Edwards family, and now they were openly backing Stephen, were they even bothering to hide their intentions anymore?

…

Italy.

Vincent and Connor were now living, quite conspicuously, at Alicia’s place.

Vincent and Connor actually got along pretty well—they’d been college roommates back in the day.

“Mr. Edwards, are you comfortable here?” Alicia’s tone toward Connor remained distant; she still couldn’t quite figure out where the Edwards family truly stood.

But after spending some time together, Alicia had come to see Pamela as a genuinely kind-hearted girl, free from the usual schemes and pretense.

“I’m very comfortable, thank you. Sorry for any trouble we’ve caused,” Connor replied politely, flashing Alicia a cordial smile.

Vincent glanced at Alicia and quickly chimed in, “I’m doing fine too.”

Alicia ignored him—did she even ask?

What a joke…

If she didn’t need Vincent as a convenient shield to confuse those watching her and buy Tyrone some time, she wouldn’t waste a second on him.

Connor, sensing Vincent’s embarrassment, quickly changed the subject. “So… I’ve noticed Easton and my sister Pamela seem to get along well. They’re about the same age too.”

Alicia glanced out at Easton and Pamela, who were chatting and trimming the garden hedges together.

It was true—they got on well enough.

Connor hesitated, glancing at Vincent.

The truth was, while Stephen was Vincent’s father, anyone who really knew the family understood there was no love lost between them; on the contrary, their relationship bordered on outright hostility.

Backing Stephen was, in essence, a betrayal of Vincent.

Vincent’s eyes brightened—he thought Alicia was showing concern for him. “Alicia… The thing is, Edwards Venture Partners is run entirely by Connor’s father. He doesn’t have any say in those decisions.”

Alicia looked thoughtfully at Connor.

Officially, Connor was CEO of the Edwards family, while his father had supposedly retired to the countryside. But now it was clear—Connor was just a figurehead.

The real power had always remained with his father.

This man was trouble—there was no doubt about it.
