Chapter 205

Mina took a deep breath, steadied herself, and glanced toward the entrance.

Nicole had arrived.

As the sole heir of the White family, Nicole was bound to become the center of attention—even if Reginald hadn’t thrown her an official welcome-

home party yet.

Mina smiled and moved forward to greet her, putting on a show of sisterly affection with an embrace that was just a little too staged. She made sure the onlookers—especially those waiting to see her slip up—were watching. “This is Miss White, the only daughter of the family,” she announced with a bright smile. “We’re the best of friends.”

Jade, who’d usually be handling Nicole, was currently dealing with her own problems thanks to Tyrone and couldn’t make it to Seaview City. So that job—keeping an eye on Nicole—had fallen to Mina.

Nicole slipped her arm through Mina’s and let herself be guided into the crowd. Mina planned to use Nicole’s presence to boost her own standing tonight.

As expected, people immediately clustered around them, eager to get close to the White Corporation’s future heiress.

After all, once Reginald passed away, everything the Whites owned would land squarely in Nicole’s lap.

“Miss White, I have to say—I envy you so much. You’re incredibly lucky.”

“That’s right, the entire White Corporation will be yours. The future of the family rests with you.”

Nicole lifted her chin, pride flickering across her face. She caught sight of Tyrone across the room and, with a delighted gasp, broke away to run toward him. “Tyrone!”

Alicia was standing with Tyrone and a few company executives, deep in conversation, when Nicole barreled over.

As Tyrone’s “sugar baby,” Alicia’s first instinct was to protect her benefactor. She stepped in front of Nicole, blocking her path.

Nicole shot Alicia a glare. “Who do you think you are, stopping me? He’s my fiancé—we’re getting married sooner or later.”

Alicia’s voice was calm and cool. “Miss White, have some dignity. Throwing yourself at a married man in public doesn’t reflect well on your upbringing.

And for the record, he’s my legal husband. If you keep talking like this, people will only think less of you—and that won’t do your family’s reputation any favors, either.”

Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent)

Chapter 204 Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse A chorus of murmurs rippled through the crowd. The envy had always been there—everyone knew Nicole’s rise from rags to riches was practically a fairy tale—but Alicia’s words drove the point home. Nicole, never much of a socialite, was suddenly exposed for all to see.

Standing in front of Tyrone, Alicia’s composure only made Nicole’s behavior seem more crass. Tyrone, meanwhile, flashed a smug grin and glanced over at Vincent, who was lingering nearby.

“See that?” Tyrone called, half-teasing. “That’s what it’s like to have a wife who’s got your back.”

Vincent looked like he might shatter his wine glass with his bare hands.

Nicole, seething, lashed out. “And who are you to talk? You’re just an orphan—no family, no background. Did you really think you could become some society wife? Tyrone’s going to dump you, just you wait!”

Her words were ugly—cruel enough to draw shocked looks from the guests.

Alicia let out a soft sigh, her expression almost amused. Nicole really didn’t have a clue. Hadn’t she done any homework before showing up tonight?

The event was for the daughter of the Chamber of Commerce president—a daughter everyone knew was adopted.

Nicole’s outburst had barely faded when Mina’s face paled. She tried to pull Nicole back, but it was too late.

The president’s daughter was already descending the staircase.

She wasn’t alone. Yvonne was by her side—her closest friend, someone with real influence.

As the pair reached the landing, Lillian Ryan’s expression hardened. Yvonne didn’t even look at Nicole.

“Who invited someone with manners like that?” Yvonne said coldly. “Kindly see yourself out.”

The room fell silent. No one dared to speak up for Nicole. Mina, caught between loyalty and embarrassment, forced herself forward. “Miss Ryan, I’m so sorry... this is Miss White, the daughter of the White family.”
