Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 520

At Clayton's residence.

Jade had been waiting outside the gate for a long time, but the butler refused to let her in.

"Clayton! Let me in!" Jade cried, her voice laced with desperation. Everyone was watching her now. Her spectacular failure at the design competition meant her career in the industry was over. Clayton was her only lifeline.

Inside, Clayton stood by the window, watching Jade wait in the biting wind. He took a slow sip of tea, a cold smile on his face.

The Jade of today was a world away from the arrogant Ms. White she once was.

Times change. Life is not static. Those who burn their bridges will eventually be trampled into the mud.

Clayton had no interest in pushing her into hell himself, but he was more than happy to watch as she and her mother walked themselves into it, step by step.

"Sir, it's started to rain… Miss White is still waiting outside," the butler said softly as he entered the room.

Jade had no other options. She would have waited outside in a hailstorm, let alone a bit of rain. Without Clayton's help, she was now just another disposable piece to Brandon.

Jade could see her own future in Natalia's fate. Shaw had illegitimate children, and it was entirely possible Brandon did too.

Her only hope was to cling to Clayton for dear life.

Clayton watched the rain fall outside, saying nothing.

Jade probably never imagined a day like this would come.

The debt from that time she had forced him to kneel alone in the courtyard, soaking in the rain, was finally being repaid.

"Tell her to go home. I don't want to see her today," Clayton said flatly. He turned and went to his study to get away from the sight of her.

The butler nodded, then went back outside to where Jade stood in the downpour. "I'm sorry, Miss White. The master won't see you. He's tired and wishes to rest. Please go home."

Jade was soaked to the bone, but she stood her ground, her heart filled with resentment.

She knew Clayton was getting his revenge.
