Chapter 125

She only saw Kieran with his back to her. He seemed to have said something to Jaylene, and Jaylene looked really upset, almost looking at Kieran with disgust.

Kieran didn’t say anything else and got in the car.

Jaylene clenched her fist, looked at Alaricka, raised her hand, and made a "call me" gesture by her car.

Alaricka nodded.

After Kieran got in the car, he drove off quickly. He drove so fast that Alaricka could hear the clear roar of the engine.

At that moment, Alaricka was calm again, sitting in the back seat with no expression, watching Kieran’s face through the rearview mirror.

Kieran’s brows were lowered, and there was a sharp look between his eyes. His dark eyes looked gloomy and sharp, and his thin lips were pressed tight, like something had pissed him off.

Alaricka thought it was funny.

Did they really think her selling barbecue at the school gate embarrassed the Argent family?

She said, “Kieran, don’t worry, me selling barbecue at a stall won’t affect your Argent family’s reputation. I already told everyone a long time ago that I have nothing to do with your Argent family anymore, so you don’t have to feel like I’ll embarrass you.”

She thought that after she said this, Kieran would be less angry.

Instead, Kieran’s brows furrowed even more, and his dark eyes glanced at her in the rearview mirror.

Alaricka crossed her arms and gave an annoyed laugh, “Then why were you mad?”

It couldn’t have been because he felt guilty since she wasn’t doing well, right?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Not talking about what happened before, just talking about what happened a few days ago. Natalie almost stepped on her face, but Kieran still helped her dad get a VIP room because she was Roschelle’s best friend.

Kieran knew about Wallace kicking her out of the Argent’s villa and didn’t stop it.

A lot of things already explained everything.

Kieran still didn’t say anything.

Alaricka lost her patience too, and her voice turned cold: “Kieran, I told you, you better let me out. I smell like barbecue all over. Be careful or your car will smell too. If your clients or partners, or even Roschelle smell it, I’m not responsible.”

The car had only been driving for a few minutes when Kieran stopped under an apartment building.

Kieran said with unmistakable sarcasm in his voice, “I just gave you five million a few days ago, how did you spend it all so fast?”

Alaricka crossed her legs and said casually, “Yeah, what’s the problem?”

Through the rearview mirror, Kieran’s dark eyes stared right at her.

“Spending money like crazy, how did you have the guts to leave the Argent family?”

Alaricka shot back with a half-smile, “Wasn’t that to give you and Roschelle some space? Your future kid can even use my old room as a nursery, it gets good light.”

The corners of Kieran’s mouth curled into a sarcastic smile.

“Rose’s kid—you didn’t need to help for now.”

Kieran shifted his gaze to the gate of the neighborhood and said calmly, “From now on, you’ll live here. It’s close to the school, so it’ll be easy for you to go to and from class. If you ever need money, just contact the assistant. I’ll have someone send you some.”

Alaricka looked a bit surprised at Kieran’s back.

She really didn’t expect it.

She had thought Kieran would snap at her and tell her not to buy barbecue again. Maybe she really hated it and said she had nothing to do with the Argent family.

She also thought Kieran would tell her to get lost and never show up in front of him again.

She also didn’t expect that Kieran would arrange for her to live in an apartment near the school, and even wanted to transfer her some money.

The housing prices in the neighborhoods near the school were ridiculously high. Alaricka also looked for a long time back then before finally finding an old, shabby place to live in.

But so what.

She had already said, when she wasn’t strong enough yet, she had to draw a line between herself and people like Kieran.

What Kieran was doing now, she worried was a sugar-coated bullet.

If she really went along with Kieran and moved in, who knows what would have happened.

Just like those years when I was adopted by the Argent family.

Everyone was jealous of her, even Tamika told her to get along with the Argent family and hold on to this hard-earned wealth.
