Alaricka looked cold and spoke in a steady voice, “Get out.”

The men’s faces all changed. “You…”

Alaricka pushed the man in front of her out of the way, and she walked to the edge of the pool.

The noise in the crowd stopped right away; only the speakers were still playing music, and all the men and women looked at Alaricka's actions with shocked and uncertain eyes.

Alaricka looked at the man swimming in the pool, picked up a swim ring nearby, and threw it hard at Patrick.

Patrick stopped.

There were several gasps from the crowd.

Swim rings just floated on the water, so even if Alaricka used a lot of strength, it wouldn’t hurt Patrick underwater at all.

Patrick stuck his head out of the water, brushed his hair off his forehead, and chuckled, “Ms. Huston, why were you so mad?”

Alaricka’s voice was cold: “Patrick, open the door.”

Patrick hadn’t said anything yet, and just as if responding to Alaricka, the front door suddenly got opened from outside.

Everyone looked over when they heard the sound.

It was Kieran and Roschelle.

Chapter 186

Alaricka frowned.

Everyone saw the two and immediately gathered around.

“Mr. Argent, Ms. Whitaker, what brought you here?”

“Sorry for not greeting you from afar, sorry for not greeting you from afar. Quick, quick, give a toast to Mr. Argent and Ms. Whitaker.”

Kieran raised his hand and pushed the glass back, his voice low and rich: “No, Rose couldn’t handle alcohol.”

Everyone burst out laughing: “Mr. Argent really is protective of the ladies. Alright, no more alcohol, I’ll have someone bring Ms. Whitaker a cup of hot milk.”

Kieran didn’t say yes or no, Roschelle’s smile was generous but a little shy, and the way her lips curved was just the right kind of gentle.

Alaricka stood there watching and calmly looked away.

The front door was opened by Kieran and wasn’t closed again.

Without thinking much, she lifted her foot to leave.

“Hey, wait, beautiful, have a drink before you go.”

Alaricka frowned a little and turned to walk away.

The man grabbed her arm and laughed, “Ms. Huston, it’s just a drink, not that hard, right?”

Alaricka’s face turned cold: “Let go.”

He got embarrassed in public, and his face instantly darkened. He grabbed Alaricka’s wrist even tighter: “Alaricka, what are you putting on airs for?”

“Don’t fucking push your luck.”

The man almost growled. In the big swimming pool, his voice was really obvious, and everyone around looked over.

The people in the swimming pool were split into two groups. Most of them crowded around Kieran and Roschelle, trying to flatter them. A smaller group of shirtless men, with big bellies hanging out, gathered around Alaricka. The way they looked at Alaricka was really sleazy, like they wanted to strip off all her clothes.

There was also Patrick, who was still in the pool at that moment, with half his face in the water, and you couldn’t see his expression clearly.

Because Kieran and Roschelle showed up, all the speakers in the pool were turned off, and the voices of the men around Alaricka sounded unusually loud.

The moment those words were spoken, almost everyone looked over at Alaricka and the others.

Alaricka was surrounded by a bunch of men, and all she could smell was the sweat on them.

The smell of sweat got into her nose, and Alaricka almost threw up.

Roschelle hesitated and said, “Alaricka, who are they? You’re still in high school, you should focus on your studies. Don’t do these things, okay?”

That was a great question.

Anyone with eyes could see Alaricka’s resistance, and Roschelle wasn’t stupid, so there was no way she couldn’t tell that Alaricka would never obey or even know these men.

Chapter 186

Roschelle said this just to make others assume she had something improper going on with those men, and to put herself in the role of a caring big sister, giving kind advice.

Alaricka naturally got the meaning in it.

She ignored Roschelle and said with a straight face, “Let go.”

The man sneered, “You really have a fiery temper. I’m telling you, I just liked your kind of attitude. It made things especially exciting.”

Alaricka’s face completely fell, and the annoyance between her brows just got worse.

“I said, let go.”

The man laughed sarcastically.

Who didn’t know about Alaricka’s family background? Her real dad was Wallace’s driver, and her real mom was a maid hired in the Argent’s villa.

Alaricka was able to be adopted by the Argent family all because her real dad died saving Wallace.

Then after being adopted for six years, she was kicked out by Wallace.

The Alaricka now was just a paper tiger, had no one to rely on, and anyone could bully her.
