Chapter 19
His voice was cold, his emotion familiar and irresistible, and his tone as pushy as ever when he said, “Apologize, or leave the Argent family for good!”
Alarieka said, “It’s meaningless now.”
Tamika was puzzled. “What?”
Alarieka withdrew her hand and replied in a lukewarm tone, “Nothing. Go home.”
Tamika stared at her. “Talk it through with Clarissa when you get back. You two live under the same roof, after all.”
“Let’s talk about it later.”
The incident happened in the morning. But by the afternoon, it had spread across the campus.
To Alarieka, it wasn’t a bad thing.
Afterward, Clarissa was taken to the hospital. Her sidekicks, who had made trouble for Alaricka at the market, didn’t dare to provoke her again.
As usual, Alarieka came to the bus station after class. Bored, she took out her notebook to memorize new words.
A horn honked and interrupted her.
She looked up. A man got out of the passenger seat of the familiar Rolls–Royce.

Chapter 19
It was Kieran’s assistant, Jaume.
“Ms. Huston, please.”
He mechanically opened the door behind the passenger seat.
Only then did it occur to Alaricka that in her previous life, she had lived in the luxurious bungalow Kieran had bought.
Kieran didn’t invite her. She had shamelessly insisted on living there. saying the house was closer to her university.
Surely, she wouldn’t make that mistake again.
So, she rejected, “No need. I’m going to the Argent’s villa.”
Surprised, the assistant hesitantly turned to the man sitting in the back seat. “Mr. Argent.”
Alarieka was astonished.
Kieran had come personally to pick her up?
Just then, Kieran got out of the vehicle. In a fitting, customized suit, he was quite striking in the crowd.
“Alarieka, do you want me to tie you up or are you gonna come over yourself?”
Huh, the usual aggressive control freak.
There was no way Alarieka could fight him in this.
The haughty Kieran wouldn’t take no for an answer.
In the back seat, Alarieka held her schoolbag tightly in case the incident from that morning reoccurred.
Chapter 18
The Rolls–Royce drove away. At first, neither she nor Kieran spoke. Then, she realized they weren’t going in the direction of the Argent’s
villa.
Alaricka frowned. “Not your place, I wanna go to the Argent’s villa.“.
Kieran closed the file in his hands with a snap..
He slowly took off his glasses and said in a hoarse voice, “What are you mad about?”
Alaricka ignored him. “Let me out. I can go back on my own.”
Then, Kieran ordered, “Show her.”
Jaume, who sat in the passenger seat, turned his head and handed Alarieka a document. “Ms. Huston, here are the findings of our investigation. Please have a look.”
