Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 542

Clayton Holloway's residence.

Jade White was still standing outside the door. These past few days, she had been showing up on time, waiting right outside, hoping for the moment Clayton would finally be willing to see her.

After all, Clayton was her only way out now.

Brandon White was at a dead end. Although his relationship with the Gentleman was deep, a useless pawn would eventually be discarded.

Jade knew she was nothing more than Brandon's pawn, too.

In Brandon's eyes, his daughter was just a tool to be utilized. The moment she lost her value, he would kick her to the curb without hesitation.

She couldn't lose. She absolutely couldn't lose.

"You have three days. If you still can't get Clayton to agree to an alliance, then pack your bags and get the hell to Europe. Don't ever come back and embarrass me again." Brandon's ultimatum rang in her ears.

Jade gripped her phone, her fingers trembling.

Because of Alicia, she had become the laughingstock of the entire industry. And because she was now the discarded outcast of the White family, those who used to flatter her were now dying to trample her into the dirt.

Jade clenched her fists in burning resentment. Dark clouds gathered overhead, and soon, a heavy rain began to fall.

Clayton's butler asked Jade to leave, but she stubbornly remained standing outside the door, refusing to budge.

In that moment, she was violently thrown back to her childhood.

Brandon was an illegitimate son, shunned by society. Worse still, he was the product of her grandmother's deceit—a former maid who had stolen her employer's birth control to conceive a child.

So Jade's childhood was exactly as Tyrone had once described it—like a rat scurrying in the gutter.

That was the root of Jade's extreme personality, the reason she would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.
