Chapter 158

Alarieka narrowed her eyes. It was Clarissa. Kieran actually got the person over for her. Alarieka immediately tiptoed to the hallway, turned off all the lights in the lounge, and then hid behind the door to make sure Clarissa wouldn’t see her when she came in.

Clarissa opened the door and pushed it open a crack. “What the heck? Why aren’t the lights on, is nobody here?” There was impatience in her voice.

The crack in the door got bigger and bigger. Alarieka watched as Clarissa reached out and pressed the light switch in the lounge. Alarieka narrowed her eyes, quickly raised her hand, pressed her cool palm on Clarissa’s hand, and at the same time put her other hand on the door, quickly pushing the door open wider.

The next moment, Clarissa let out a suppressed, sharp cry. She trembled all over, and even the hand under Alarieka’s was shaking. “Ah, there’s a ghost!”

Obviously, she was scared by a hand that suddenly appeared. There was mockery in Alarieka’s eyes. With guts like that, how did she dare mess with things at Jaylene’s booth? She pressed her lips together, reached out and grabbed Clarissa’s wrist, gave it a hard pull, and dragged Clarissa—who was trying to escape from the lounge—back. Then she slammed the door hard. Clarissa’s screams got louder and sharper. “Who is it? Get lost, don’t touch me, get lost!” But luckily, Alarieka didn’t have to worry about anyone hearing. Kieran’s lounge was far from the banquet hall, almost everyone was gathered over there, and the soundproofing here was pretty good.

Clarissa was dumped by Alarieka at the street stall. With the faint light coming in from the window, Alarieka saw Clarissa hugging her head, curled up in a ball, shaking all over, and she didn’t even dare to look up at her. Alarieka let her hair down on purpose, her long dark hair hanging in front of her. She looked at Clarissa, but she didn’t say anything.

Knowing Clarissa couldn’t hold back her curiosity and looked up, what she saw was a “ghost” in a long dress with loose hair. Alarieka looked at Clarissa’s face through the gaps in her hair. Clarissa was so scared that she totally lost control of her expression, her eyes went wide, her lips parted, and she even forgot to breathe. After that, Clarissa held her head, let out a sharp scream, struggled to get up from the ground, and ran off in a panic.

“Ghost! Help! There’s a ghost!”

Alarieka gave a sarcastic look, walked forward, grabbed Clarissa’s wildly waving hand, and yanked hard. Clarissa was pulled down and fell to the ground. Actually, she didn’t even need to use much force. Clarissa was already so scared that her whole body went weak. She couldn’t even run properly, and with just a little tug, she got thrown around and totally dizzy. Clarissa held her head and didn’t dare to look up at all.

“Don’t, I didn’t hurt anyone, don’t come to me, go find whoever you should find, don’t come to me, I didn’t hurt anyone!” Alarieka’s lips curled up a little, and she sneered. She deliberately made her voice thin and sharp. “You did a lot of bad things, Satan sent me to get you.”

Hearing her voice, Clarissa shook even more and couldn’t make a sound. “Not… not me, I didn’t, don’t come, don’t come looking for me.” Alarieka said, “It was you, you put something in the barbecue and I ate it and died from poisoning.” Clarissa shook her head hard. “I never did that, I just did—”

Alarieka kept pressing, “It was you, at the barbecue stand by the school gate, you drugged the food, I ate it, and I died.”

Alarieka let out a sharp cry, her voice piercing: “You’re the one who killed me!”

“I’m here to take your life!”

In the dim, quiet room, the “female ghost” had messy hair and spoke in a low, sharp voice. The cold wind blew, and everything looked just like a scene from a horror movie. Even Alarieka would have been scared in a situation like this, not to mention Clarissa, who couldn’t handle anything. She had already been scared out of her wits, couldn’t even talk properly, and was shaking all over.

“Not! Not!”

There was already a sob in Clarissa’s voice. She curled up on the ground, holding her head tightly with both hands, shaking all over, and she definitely didn’t dare to lift her head. “Not me, I didn’t, I didn’t drug anyone, I just had someone pretend to have a stomachache from bad food, there’s no way I could’ve drugged anyone, you got the wrong person, it really wasn’t me… it really wasn’t me!”

“If you want a life, don’t come for mine.”
