Chapter 216

“But... this man’s been officially diagnosed with severe schizophrenia. That’s why he was committed to a psychiatric hospital. Getting access to him, let alone getting a straight answer, will be tough. And... well, you know, the law doesn’t really hold the mentally ill criminally responsible...” Sean Quinn glanced at Yvonne, worried she might lose control.

But to his surprise, Yvonne was calmer than he’d ever seen her.

She let go of Sean’s sleeve and sat down, her voice clear and steady as she worked through the problem. “We’ve already found Alicia. At the very least, I’ve fulfilled my promise to my sister. As for whether that man’s truly insane, that’s still up for debate. Even if he is, we’ll have to find a way to make him talk.”

Sean couldn’t hide his amazement. Yvonne was so much more rational than before.

For years, she’d been obsessed—nearly possessed—by the hunt for the real Nicole, always on the edge of a breakdown.

Maybe now, having finally found her, and knowing Alicia was safe and well cared for...

“Alicia’s with Tyrone now. He should be able to keep her safe,” Yvonne murmured, though unease lingered in her eyes. “Do you think Tyrone would ever hurt her? Is she really willing to have this baby? What if he forced her?”

Sean blinked, caught off guard by the leap in logic.

“We can’t just let Tyrone marry my niece so easily. The man’s gotten way too lucky—just like that, he’s marrying a college girl, and she’s my niece!”

Yvonne was starting to get riled up again.

Sean gave a short cough, trying not to laugh. “True enough. Maybe we should break them up, get them divorced before he gets too comfortable?”

Yvonne shot him a glare. “Typical man. No mercy at all.”

Sean wisely fell silent.

...

Harboridge City.

Jade had already heard about Nicole’s disastrous scene at the Ryan family’s banquet. She berated Nicole over the phone until Nicole was left speechless. “There’s no way I can leave Harboridge City right now, and Nicole—she’s such a hopeless idiot...”

Jade hung up, seething, and turned to her father, Brandon. “Dad, that fool is bound to slip up sooner or later. We have to move fast—get Grandpa to write the will and call the family home for the inheritance dinner.”

Brandon nodded.

Yes, best to get everything settled while the old man was still around—once the deed was done, there’d be nothing left to worry about.

Once the old man was gone, their problems would disappear with him.

“What about the person who killed Nicole’s parents all those years ago? We never found him, did we? That guy’s a ticking time bomb—he knows too many of our secrets. We have to get rid of him.” Jade’s voice was low and urgent as she spoke of old, unfinished business.

They’d meant to wipe out any loose ends back then, but the hitman had been too smart, vanishing before they could catch him.

“He’s clever, all right. If he’s managed to keep out of our sight, he’ll stay clear of the Harrison family too. There’s no point worrying about him now,”

Brandon replied, his tone casual as he sipped his tea. “Let’s focus on your grandfather. Once he’s out of the picture and we have everything that belongs to the White family, nothing else will matter.”

By then, everything would finally be settled.

As for the real Nicole and her parents’ deaths—who would care? The Harrison family only had Yvonne left.

And one woman, no matter how much she squawked, wasn’t a threat.

“I’m going to see Grandpa right now,” Jade said, determination in her eyes as she turned and strode out.

White Manor.

Jade found Reginald in the sunroom, playing chess with the butler.

Reginald trusted Tyrone—if Tyrone said that Nicole’s DNA test had been faked, then it meant no one in the White family could be trusted anymore.

“Sir, I heard you’ve called Clayton back?” the butler asked, cautiously watching the old man’s face.

Reginald nodded. “Yes. It’s time that boy came home to help me.”

The butler’s fingers tightened around a chess piece. “But sir, Clayton’s still... well, he’s not really a White. He’s never been added to the family records. You raised him, sure, but he’s spent all these years away at school—who knows where his loyalties really lie? What if...”
