Winnie rolled her eyes. "If you're sick, go see a doctor. Talk about earning the White family's approval after that."
Nicole shot a glare at Clayton. "Did you hear me? Cancel all business with the White family and their associates!"
Clayton replied coolly. "I don't have the final say over White Corporation's
partnerships-that's up to the old man. Besides, the Ryan family barely does any business with the Whites as it is. Do you want us to ramp up cooperation just so we can cancel it afterward?"
Nicole was so furious her face went red. "Clayton, what's that supposed to mean? You're planning to hand her even more business?"
Winnie just rolled her eyes again and stepped aside with Alicia.
Clayton didn't respond. He opened the car door and motioned for Nicole to get in.
Nicole huffed. "Just wait until I'm in charge-I'll fire you the first chance I get."
Clayton raised an eyebrow, his demeanor as calm and unbothered as ever. Only after Nicole climbed into the car did he close the door and rub his ear, as if to say she really was insufferably loud.
"I feel for you," Winnie said, giving Clayton a look of sympathy.
"Need a ride?" Clayton asked.
Winnie and Alicia waved him off. "No, thanks. Tyrone's coming to pick us up."
Tyrone had already promised Alicia he'd come for her as soon as he finished things up at Evercrest Group.
Clayton nodded and was just about to get in his car when his phone rang. His expression changed instantly as he answered.
He took a slow, steadying breath, then turned to Alicia. "Alicia, I need you to brace yourself... Something's happened to Tyrone."
Alicia's face went deathly pale. Her stomach twisted with anxiety as she rushed forward. "Clayton, what do you mean? What happened?"
Winnie's worry showed on her face too. "What's going on with Tyrone?"
"He was in a car accident on the way here," Clayton said, voice low. "After inheriting such a fortune from Maddox, too many people have their eyes on him.â Too many wanted Tyrone gone.
Alicia nearly collapsed, and Winnie caught her.
"He'll be okay, don't panic," Winnie hurried to comfort her. "Tyrone's always been lucky."
Tears welled up in Alicia's eyes. "I shouldn't have asked him to come get me..."
Clayton shook his head. "Alicia, you can't always see these things coming. This time it was a car accident; next time, it might be an ambush. The danger was always there."
Alicia was trembling, desperate to get to the hospital.

"Alicia, Tyrone's prepared for situations like this. No matter what happens, you just have to trust him," Clayton said gently, "and make sure you keep yourself safe."
Alicia took a shaky breath and nodded.
Seaview General Hospital.
By the time Alicia arrived, Tyrone was already in a hospital room.
The accident hadn't been that serious-Tyrone had a few scrapes and a mild concussion, nothing worse.
It was a lucky escape; if Tyrone hadn't been so alert, things could have ended much
worse.
But this was a warning: if it happened once, it could happen again. Too many people wanted Tyrone out of the way.
"Tyrone?" Alicia hurried into the room, eyes darting anxiously over him.
Tyrone caught her hand and managed a reassuring smile. "I'm
fine. Just a mild concussione??

as good as new after some rest."
Alicia burst into tears, sitting down beside him and burying her face in his chest.
Tyrone's heart ached to see her like that he knew how much his getting hurt scared her.
But this kind of thing was bound to happen again in the days ahead.
Until they found out who was pulling Brandon's strings, they'd always be fighting
blind.
"Do you know who did it?" Alicia asked through her tears.
Tyrone shook his head. "We're still investigating."
Brandon wasn't clever enough to pull this off alone, but whoever was behind him
certainly was.
"Could it be Vincent?" Alicia wasn't sure why, but the name sprang to mind.
Right now, Vincent was the only one in Seaview City with enough power-and enough of a grudge against Tyrone.
