Chapter 176

Albertine startled. “Miss, our orphanage isn’t in Seaview City—it’s in the town of Mountaincrest.”

Yvonne’s expression barely flickered as she took her seat. Years of searching in Seaview City had led to nothing. Was it possible that the culprit had abandoned the child on the outskirts instead?

“Aunt Yvonne, are you really going to defend her? She’s just a liar,” Nicole ventured, her tone cautious.

She was clearly afraid of Yvonne.

Yvonne just smiled at her, unbothered. “What can I do? Her husband asked me to keep an eye out for her, worried that your grandfather might do something rash. If you scare the poor girl half to death here, Tyrone would be beside himself with worry.”

Nicole’s face paled. “Aunt Yvonne, I’m Tyrone’s fiancée.”

“But you’re not married yet, are you? Fiancée, fiancée—she’s the one with the marriage certificate. She’s the legal wife,” Yvonne teased, a mischievous glint in her eye.

Nicole’s complexion went from red to white in an instant.

Alicia, sitting nearby, was surprised as well. He actually liked Yvonne’s boldness—she reminded him a bit of Tyrone, sharp-tongued and unafraid of confrontation.

“Trying to pull a fast one on the Lynch family? Even with you here, she can’t escape the consequences!” The old patriarch let out a furious huff.

Nothing angered him more than being lied to, especially about matters as important as heirs and marriages. He despised social climbers most of all.

“This is what gets you worked up? Why not go demand answers from your own grandson instead? You really think this young woman could invent such a huge lie and actually fool Tyrone? At your age, you should know better than to play dumb,” Yvonne shot back, refusing to give the old man any quarter.

His face went white with rage, and he jabbed a finger at her. “This has nothing to do with you. Leave. Now.”

Yvonne shrugged. “Hospitals are public places. I’m here for a checkup—what, are you in charge of who comes and goes now? In fact, I’m genuinely curious to see just what you plan to do to this girl.” As a singer, her voice naturally carried, and soon curious onlookers began to gather at the door.

“Come on, everyone! Look over here! Let’s see what happens when someone in power wants to intimidate a young woman,” Yvonne called out, utterly shameless.

The old man was so angry he nearly swooned.

Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent)

You can’t just take her side,” Nicole said, voice trembling. “Grandpa said if she’s not pregnant, she’ll have to divorce Tyrone, and I’ll marry him instead.”

“Nicole, let me give you some advice,” Yvonne said, her tone suddenly gentle but firm. “You’re a White—you come from a good family. Why stoop to chasing after a man who clearly doesn’t want to marry you? It’s beneath you. Trust your aunt, let’s not go after Tyrone anymore.”

She smiled, trying to reassure her. “Why not take a look at all those young actors in the entertainment world? If you fancy one, let me know—I’ll introduce you.”

Nicole could only lower her head, swallowing her frustration. She didn’t dare protest, not with Yvonne so ready to shut her down.

But Jade had given her orders: she had to marry Tyrone, no matter what. She wasn’t the real Nicole, after all. If she wanted to keep living this life of luxury, she had to marry Tyrone and have his child as soon as possible.

“I’ll call Tyrone and have him come back to file for divorce,” the old patriarch finally relented. He wouldn’t lay a finger on Alicia, but he was determined to have Tyrone end the marriage.

Alicia’s shoulders slumped as she gently helped Albertine to a seat. “Don’t worry about me, Albertine. I’m fine.”

Albertine sighed softly. “My dear, don’t feel so down. People like us, without power or connections, marrying into a wealthy family isn’t always a blessing.”

She looked at Alicia with motherly affection. “All I want is for you to leave that little mountain village behind and build a safe, happy life for yourself. I don’t need you to be rich and famous—just happy, with a good home.”
