Chapter 148
Alarieka’s eyes trembled. She didn’t know what Kieran said next, either. So much happened during that time, she almost forgot about the baby in Roschelle’s belly. She closed her eyes, listening to Kieran’s voice with a bit of gentleness.
“Yeah, I went back soon.” Roschelle seemed to have said something funny, and Kieran gave a slight smile. “Okay!” All right.
Alarieka sat in the car, watching Kieran open the car door and get out, walk over to the fruit shelf in the 24-hour convenience store, and look down, carefully picking out fruit. Alarieka looked away, her eyes accidentally landing on the little figurine in front of her. Chapter 148 That was Kate the cat. Such a pinkish figure looked especially out of place in the whole serious, dark train car. Didn’t even have to think to know who put it here.
Alarieka turned her head, and still spotted the standout Kieran right away. There was a moment when she also felt like she was actually the evil supporting character in Kieran and Roschelle’s novel, just a clown who only existed to mess up the main couple’s relationship. In that moment, she also wasn’t confident and really felt insecure. Even if she lived her life over again, it seemed like nothing really changed for her, and Kieran and Roschelle were still just as happy as they were in the last life.
She turned her head to look at the file bag on the back seat. She kind of guessed what this file was. She took it with her amazing hands and pulled out the documents inside. Chapter 148 It was exactly the equity transfer agreement. What happened in the last life would still happen in this life. Kieran gave Roschelle 5 percent of the shares in Kierose Group. This was kind of a reward for Roschelle’s hard work during pregnancy. After Roschelle had her only child, Kieran then transferred five percent of the shares, and also the Argent Group five percent of the shares.
Alarieka put the file bag back and grabbed her knees with both hands. The things lots of people dreamed of, Roschelle already had early on–family background, looks, education, job, admirers, she had them all, plus love from her partner and her partner’s family. All the paths in her life perfectly fit the strong female lead image in people’s eyes.
It was amazing. She was really God’s favorite. It wasn’t just a few people who said this, there were a lot of people–friends or fans–who called Roschelle a big female lead. Rarely, a feeling of jealousy grew in Alarieka’s heart. She got jealous too, and she felt unwilling too. She was born ordinary. Her dad was the driver for the Argent family, and her mom was their maid. If it wasn’t for her dad, she probably would never have gotten close to Kieran and Roschelle’s class. Even just getting close to it, it was something her dad traded his life for. What her dad traded his life for still couldn’t really get her into their circle.
She never had any bad intentions, always did the right thing, and never did anything wrong. So she didn’t get why someone like Roschelle, who hurt others and herself, could also have a good start and a good ending. And her daughter’s car accident was all caused by Roschelle. There really wasn’t any karma. Alarieka felt a sharp pain on the tip of her heart, almost making her face go pale and her body tremble. Chapter 148
The moment Kieran came back and opened the door, Alarieka took a deep breath. To keep Kieran from noticing something was wrong, she turned her head to the window and slowly calmed herself down. After she calmed down, she turned and glanced at the fruit Kieran had left on the back seat. They were all some sour fruits, probably for Roschelle to eat to help with her morning sickness.
For the rest of the trip, Kieran drove fast, like he was in a hurry. Alarieka knew where his eagerness came from, but she didn’t mind, because she wanted to go back as soon as possible too. Kieran parked the car downstairs at the rental place, and Alarieka got out right away, moving really fast. So she didn’t notice that behind her, Kieran didn’t start the car right away, but took another call instead. It was the assistant who called.
“Mr. Argent, I already contacted the organizers of the Mcintosh Piano Competition. The organizers already agreed to add one more spot, but we needed to confirm as soon as possible because they were about to announce the contestants.” Chapter 148 Kieran’s eyes paused. He turned his head, glanced in the direction Alarieka left, and said in a low voice, “No need.”
