Chapter 285

Besides... Clayton had his own selfish reasons.

Maybe, if Tyrone never found out who Alicia really was, he’d divorce her on his own.

And if they divorced...

Clayton frowned, uneasy with his own thoughts. He knew he shouldn’t be thinking this way, but once the idea took root, it sprouted and grew, impossible to ignore.

In the dead of night, Tyrone finally opened the door, moving at a deliberately slow pace. His shirt was half-buttoned, like he’d just rolled out of bed.

“It’s late. Why aren’t you sleeping at your hotel? What are you doing pounding on my door? Just because nobody wants you doesn’t mean I’m single.

Try to have some sense, will you?”

Clayton frowned again, his eyes turning cold. “Divorce Alicia.”

Tyrone’s own brow furrowed as he stared at Clayton, as if wondering if he’d shown up just to get punched.

“If you have so much time to gossip and get under my skin,” Tyrone said, his tone a warning, “maybe you should put that energy into finding your family’s real heiress. It’s been years and you still haven’t found her. Instead, you’re here meddling in my marriage? Don’t push your luck, Clayton.

Friends have boundaries too.”

“You don’t love her. It’s just a contract marriage. Now that the child’s gone, this is the perfect time to get divorced,” Clayton pressed.

Tyrone let out a cold laugh. “Clayton, you never cared who I married before. If I did leave Alicia, do you actually think I’d turn around and marry Nicole White, that fake? You’d better hurry up and find your family’s real daughter. Before I get divorced, you can marry her and get the White family inheritance. We join forces—wasn’t that the deal all along?”

Tyrone’s irritation was growing. They’d already agreed: he wasn’t going to marry Ms. White. He already had someone he loved—Alicia.

He was going to find Alicia, marry her, no matter what.

Reginald had raised Clayton to inherit the White family. So once they found the real heiress, Clayton could marry her—problem solved.

Clayton took a deep breath. If you won’t divorce, how am I supposed to marry her?

He gritted his teeth, lowering his voice. “Do you even know how you feel about Alicia? If this is really just a contract marriage, you wouldn’t be at odds with Maddox over her.”

Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent)

Chapter 284 “She’s the girl I told you about before—the orphan I met in Grandcrest City. I came back early just to find her,” Tyrone admitted, not hiding anything.

He just couldn’t let Alicia know.

Back then, he’d left without saying goodbye. He’d broken his promise to her... She must hate him now.

Clayton’s face darkened.

They’d agreed that Tyrone wouldn’t marry Ms. White and Clayton would inherit the White family. But what he hadn’t expected was that the woman Tyrone wanted to marry was Ms. White herself.

“Get a divorce,” Clayton said, his voice icy.

If it had come to this, he was prepared to fight Tyrone for her.

“You’re just asking for a beating, aren’t you?” Tyrone didn’t want to get physical, but he moved to shut the door in Clayton’s face.

Clayton braced his hand against the door, taking a steadying breath. “Are you really willing to just hand over the Lynch family’s inheritance to Easton Lynch?”

Clayton was desperate—if Tyrone divorced, Clayton might finally have a chance with Alicia.

“Why wouldn’t I be?” Tyrone shot back. “If Easton has what it takes to pull the Lynch Corporation out of the abyss like I did, then he deserves it.

Otherwise, I’ll make sure the company is exactly the mess it was when Marcus Lynch left it to me. If Maddox insists on giving everything to Easton, I have no problem making sure there’s nothing left to give.”

He was done playing nice. If Maddox was determined to give the Lynch Corporation to Easton, then he’d leave it in ruins. No one who hadn’t lived through what he had had any right to judge.

Clayton drew a long breath. He truly didn’t want to become Tyrone’s enemy.

But this time, he wasn’t going to back down.
