She took a few steps back: โKieran, go back to your wife and kids.โ
Kieranโs eyes darkened. โAlaricka, everything in the house was ready. You could move in today.โ
Alaricka gave a sarcastic laugh, โWhy would I move in? Kieran, I was doing great, feeling free, doing whatever I wanted. I didnโt have to worry about anyone drugging me, or people spreading rumors about me behind my back. I had lots of friends, and my life was full every day.โ
She said calmly, โRight now, Iโm very content, more content than when I was staying at the Argentโs villa.โ
โSo,โ Alaricka said, โyou didnโt need to worry that I wasnโt doing well.โ
โThe days after I left the Argentโs villa, I was doing really, really well.โ
When Alaricka left, she didnโt look at Kieranโs expression, but she probably knew it wouldnโt look good.
When I got back to Jayleneโs place, it was already one in the morning. Jaylene had been waiting for her in the living room, so when she came back, Jaylene came up to her right away and grabbed her arm, looking her up and down for a long time.
โAre you okay? Kieran didnโt do anything to you, right? Uh, youโre really okay?โ
Alaricka laughed and pulled Jayleneโs arm down, โIโm fine, donโt worry, just go wash up and get some sleep, we have class tomorrow.โ
Jaylene frowned, โI saw Kieran carry you off. If you came back any later, I mightโve called the cops.โ
Alaricka shook her head, โItโs fine.โ
Just thinking about what happened with Kieran after she came out of the Argentโs villa that day made her feel so frustrated she could hardly breathe.
At night, she slept with Jaylene in Jayleneโs bedroom. They slept in the same bed, and that bed was a wooden one, really old. Even a little movement made it creak nonstop, so Alaricka didnโt even dare to move.
She and Jaylene had a long, tiring day and felt drowsy. It was just when she was about to fall asleep that her phone got a text message. Such a late text โ Alaricka instinctively thought it was important.
She took the phone and looked at it with sleepy eyes. On her phone, it was a text from Kieran: โChecked, it was the servant who put in the drug.โ
When Alaricka saw this message, her sleepiness vanished in a flash, and she gradually woke up.

She moved a little, and the bed under her creaked right away. Jaylene, who was sleeping, started breathing a lot heavier. She immediately didnโt dare to move, just stared at the text message on her phone.
The sleepiness in Alarickaโs head was completely gone, and her mind got clearer and clearer. Looking at the text message Kieran sent, her face gradually darkened.
โRose was innocent.โ
At first, Alarickaโs face could still stay calm, as usual. She typed a sentence on the screen: โWhat should I do with the person who drugged me?โ
Kieran replied, โIโm Roschelle. Kier was taking a shower, so I replied to you.โ
โThat thing, I didnโt notice it. If I had noticed it earlier, you wouldnโt have been drugged. I was wrong too, I let you down.โ
โAbout the person who drugged you, Kier left it all to me. I already fired her and called the police. The police already took her away.โ
Alarickaโs blood almost went cold. She was totally sure that Roschelle was the one who put the drug in. She also knew clearly that Roschelle would definitely push things onto others. Alaricka also knew Kieran would go along with what Roschelle wanted and pin the blame for drugging on someone else.
She also knew that, right now, she couldnโt change these things. But even though she clearly knew all this, and clearly remembered similar things that had happened before, when she went through it again, she still felt suffocated.
Alaricka took a deep breath, and her hands holding the phone were shaking a little. After staring at it for a long, long time, Alaricka suddenly shut off her phone.
โAlaricka, whatโs wrong? Still not sleeping? Itโs really late.โ
After a while, Alarickaโs voice was a little hoarse: โYeah, I fell asleep soon.โ

Alaricka turned her phone back on and looked at the two messages Kieran had sent. Her fingertip slid on the screen, looking at the chat history between her and Kieran.
At first, she added Kieranโs WhatsApp when she just came to the Argentโs villa. Back then, she felt shy and inferior about everything at the Argentโs villa and didnโt dare to get close. It was Kieran who took the initiative to exchange contact info with her and said the first sentence to her.
โWas it called Alaricka?โ
