Chapter 207

She didn’t actually dislike Yvonne—in fact, she liked her personality and admired her.

But Yvonne was still Nicole’s aunt.

And Yvonne was right. Alicia had deliberately provoked Nicole the moment she saw Lillian coming down the stairs. She knew exactly how girls like Nicole and Mina operated: they always went for the jugular, targeting your softest spots.

Alicia didn’t have many weak points. The only things anyone could use against her were her status as an orphan and those four years she’d spent with Vincent.

With Vincent standing right there, even someone as reckless as Nicole wouldn’t dare mention their past relationship outright. That left Alicia’s background as an orphan as the only thing to attack.

Lillian, on the other hand, despised nothing more than people looking down on orphans.

Tyrone had quietly told Alicia that before they left the house.

“If you’re tired, go sit over there for a bit.” Tyrone broke off his conversation with Lillian and walked over, giving Alicia’s hand an affectionate squeeze.

He was clearly pleased with how Alicia had stood up for him today.

His little bunny—so clever, and not afraid to bite when necessary.

Alicia shook her head and stayed close to his side.

“You handled yourself perfectly today. What kind of reward do you want?” Tyrone teased, trying to make her smile.

Alicia beamed, thinking for a moment before looking up at him. “Anything?”

Tyrone nodded. “Don’t be shy—ask for whatever you want.”

After a pause, Alicia spoke in a quiet voice. “Then... can you make your special sweet and sour ribs for me tonight?”

Tyrone raised an eyebrow. That was her most extravagant request?

He laughed, gently tapped her nose, and nodded. “Of course.”

Off to the side, Vincent watched the two of them interact, gripping his wine glass so tightly he nearly shattered it.

Chapter 206 Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse “Stop staring!” Mina hissed at Vincent, her voice sharp with annoyance. His longing gaze was so obvious that people around them had started to whisper. The rumor mill was already churning—Vincent was supposedly in love with Tyrone’s wife.

Mina felt her cheeks burn with embarrassment. This party was supposed to put Alicia in her place; instead, she’d become the butt of the joke herself.

“Lillian, let me introduce you,” Yvonne said, leading Lillian over to Alicia. “This is Tyrone’s wife, Alicia. She’s a wonderful girl, and I’m very fond of her.

She’s studying architecture, and as soon as her language courses finish here, she’ll be heading to Italy to continue her studies. When she gets there, I hope you’ll look after her.”

Alicia stared at Yvonne in surprise. She knew about her major? She even knew about the plans for Italy? Had Tyrone told her?

“Alicia, this is Lillian. I’m sure you know her already—she’s a renowned architect, a real trailblazer in the field,” Yvonne continued.

It was obvious Yvonne was paving the way, helping Alicia build connections.

Alicia greeted Lillian with genuine respect, shaking her hand with quiet confidence and a warm smile. “It’s an honor to meet you. I’ve always admired your work. The Stargazer Tower you designed in Riverdale is stunning, and all the awards it’s won are truly well deserved.”

Alicia’s brilliance was in her preparation—before every event, she did her homework, genuinely remembering each mentor’s proudest achievements.

Lillian’s eyes widened just a bit. She’d already felt a soft spot for Alicia because of her background, but now, her appreciation grew. Stargazer Tower was her masterpiece, and Alicia’s recognition showed she truly cared.

“Tyrone, you’ve picked yourself a wonderful wife,” Lillian said with a laugh.

Tyrone slipped an arm around Alicia’s waist, smiling. “She still has a lot to learn from you, Miss Ryan.”

“Oh, I’m sure she’ll do great. Once she’s in Italy, I’ll introduce her to a few friends in the industry,” Lillian promised with a nod.

Alicia’s heart pounded with excitement. This was her first real step toward building her network. She’d never imagined it could go so well.
