Chapter 219

Roschelle chuckled and took the chicken soup, drinking it slowly, one sip at a time.

Marlene looked at the nearly finished chicken soup, a smile in her eyes. But then she suddenly thought of something, and the smile slowly disappeared.

After Roschelle finished her chicken soup, Marlene thoughtfully took the empty bowl and put it away, then frowned and said:

“What exactly happened this time? I heard it was Alarieka who pushed you down.”

Roschelle’s eyes flickered, then she said softly, “Mrs. Argent, it wasn’t what you thought.”

Marlene grew suspicious and couldn’t let it go: “What was it like, then?”

Roschelle said softly, “I think Alarieka didn’t mean it; she’s still young…”

Marlene frowned, sounding even more anxious, and said sharply, “How is she still a kid? I remember she’s already an adult. You don’t have to make excuses for her. Don’t I know what’s going on?”

“This Alarieka, ever since she moved into the Argent’s villa, I could tell she was up to no good. See, just like I thought, she made a mess of the Argent family. Now she’s left the Argent family, but it’s still the same. She just won’t go away, like a bad penny!”

Roschelle felt happy inside, but on the outside, she put on a helpless and worried look.

She leaned over, grabbed Marlene’s arm, and patted it gently with her palm.

“Mrs. Argent, don’t worry. I believe Alarieka will get better when she grows up.”

Marlene spoke firmly: “Absolutely not. She had bad intentions and secretly liked Kier. She must have wanted to marry Kier a long time ago. She was vain, didn’t know how to behave properly, and was always daydreaming.”

Roschelle’s smile faded a little.

Marlene looked serious. “This Alarieka dared to do something like this today. Who knows what else she might do in the future? We have to deal with this once and for all.”

As she spoke, Marlene suddenly turned around and gently tapped Roschelle’s arm, looking at her a bit helplessly.

“You too; you can’t always spoil Alarieka like that. If you keep spoiling her, one day she’d end up walking all over you and bossing you around.”

Roschelle lowered her head and hid the look in her eyes.

Marlene said, “Rose, I know you’re kind, but not everyone is as decent and thoughtful as you. You should be a bit wary of Alarieka. You can’t let Alarieka do this kind of thing again.”

“Not just you, Kier too.”

Roschelle’s cheeks turned a little red.

She remembered that after she and Alarieka fell into the pool, Kieran and Patrick both came to save her first and didn’t care about Alarieka.

And Kieran and Patrick only went to save Alarieka just because they wanted to blame someone and then remembered there was still an Alarieka in the water.

And there was also that charm you said you’d give to the one you loved.

She used to doubt Kieran’s feelings, but from now on, she probably wouldn’t doubt them anymore.

Sure enough, Kieran only had her in his heart.

She felt happy and whispered, “Mrs. Argent, Kier was really nice to me.”

Marlene raised her finger and poked her forehead, saying helplessly, “You call this fine? You’re not even close.”

Roschelle bit her lip shyly and didn’t say anything.

Marlene’s voice turned cold, “There are some things you can’t say, so I’ll say them.”

“Today, I was going to make Kier give me an explanation, and I absolutely couldn’t let Alarieka show up around here again. I had to put an end to it.”

Roschelle rested her head on Marlene’s shoulder: “I listened to you.”

Marlene thought coldly.

The baby in Roschelle’s belly was the precious grandson of the Argent family.

Alarieka messed with Roschelle, so how was that any different from messing with the Argent family’s precious grandson?

Since Alarieka already got to this point, we really couldn’t let her stay anymore.

Marlene had a fierce look in her eyes.

It wasn’t long before the doorbell rang.

Roschelle guessed who was outside, her cheeks growing even redder: “It should be Kier coming back.”

Marlene patted her arm, helped her lie down, and thoughtfully pulled up the blanket. She said gently, “You have the semifinals tomorrow; get ready. I’ll talk to Kier, and I’ll definitely give you an answer after that.”

Roschelle smiled softly, “Okay, thank you, Mrs. Argent.”

Marlene turned around and left, pulling the door open.

It was Kieran standing outside the door.

Kieran saw that his mom didn’t look happy and that she just came out of Roschelle’s room, so he pretty much guessed what it was about.

Marlene gave him an annoyed look and walked past him: “Come with me. Don’t bother Rose tonight. I need to talk to you.”
