Chapter 150
Roschelle was startled and quickly shut her mouth. If the Argent family found out the baby in her belly wasnโt Kieranโs, it would all be over.
Clarissa walked over, happy but confused: โRose, what were you just saying? Whatโs wrong with the kid?โ
Roschelle looked a bit pale and shook her head slightly, โItโs nothing, just talking to the kid.โ
Clarissa ran over and looked at Roschelleโs belly, careful and curious.
โDid this kid bother you again?โ
Roschelle smiled at the corners of her mouth, โNo, this kid was pretty well-behaved.โ
Clarissa hugged her arms and laughed, โOf course, thatโs Kieranโs and your kid. How could they not be good?โ
The smile at the corner of Roschelleโs mouth froze.
โLetโs not talk about that. Did you need something from me?โ
Clarissaโs eyes flashed. โRose, did you know about Alarieka and her classmates setting up a street stall lately? I posted it in the group.โ
Roschelle nodded, โGot it.โ
Her eyes darkened, and she said, looking worried, โAlarieka was still just a student after all. After leaving the Argent family, she didnโt really have any way to make a living. It was really too hard for a senior high school student like her to go set up a stall.โ
Clarissa almost wanted to slam the table, but she was worried about scaring Roschelle, who was already two months pregnant, so she just curled her lip in disdain.
โRose, I knew you were kind, but that was Alarieka. Do you know what kind of person Alarieka was? Rose, youโd better not be so naive and let trouble into your house.โ
Roschelle said softly, โShe was kind of the adopted daughter of the Argent family.โ
Clarissa curled her lip in disdain: โWhat adopted daughter? Sheโs just a freeloader who shamelessly stayed at my house. Good thing Grandpa kicked her out, or I wouldnโt have felt comfortable living here.โ
Clarissa suddenly lowered her voice, โRose, I just thought of a really interesting idea. Do you want to hear it?โ
Clarissa was a straightforward girl, and you could read all her thoughts on her face. Roschelle, of course, noticed that she was eager to try and had some bad feelings toward Alarieka.
She didnโt stop it; she even seemed happy about it.
Clarissa bent down and said something in her ear.
Roschelle just listened and didnโt say anything. Until Clarissa finished speaking, her voice was soft and anxious: โClarissa, youโre sisters after all. You donโt have to go this far.โ
Clarissa snorted and laughed, โWhat sister? She didnโt deserve it.โ
โRose, donโt worry about it, just watch me.โ
Roschelle looked at Clarissa with an anxious and helpless look in her eyes.
Until Clarissa left, the warmth in Roschelleโs eyes suddenly turned cold.
She quietly curled her lips, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.
Clarissa was brainless; just let her charge ahead. She sat back and watched the others fight.
After school on Friday, Alarieka and Jaylene set up their stall early.
Jaylene had been running her stall for half a month and was already really good at it, so Alarieka couldnโt really help much.
Not only that, Jaylene also grabbed her by the shoulders and made her sit down, telling her to study hard and not to worry about these things.
Alarieka couldnโt say no to Jaylene, so she sat next to Jaylene and started working on her workbook.
Actually, as time went by, there were fewer people in front of the stall, but it was still much busier than the other stalls.
In the middle of all the hustle and bustle, Alarieka had already finished two pages of the workbook, and Jaylene had also sold a lot of barbecue.
In the noise, a girl was squatting on the ground, holding her stomach, looking pale.
There were some not-too-loud, not-too-quiet exclamations around, and Alarieka looked up when she heard them.
I saw that girl holding a barbecue wrapper from Jayleneโs stand, and the barbecue in her other hand had dropped onto the floor by her feet.
Everyoneโs expression changed.
These past few days, Jayleneโs BBQ stand was really popular around here, and there wasnโt anyone within a few steps who didnโt recognize the BBQ packaging bags from Jaylene.
After they saw clearly the bag in the girlโs hand, a lot of people instantly looked at Jaylene with shocked and accusing eyes.
Jaylene froze, which was rare. This usually cheerful and outgoing girl just stood there and honestly didnโt know what to do.
โItโs Jaylene and Alariekaโs barbecue! Youโll get a stomachache!โ
There were snack streets near the school gates around here, and besides Jaylene and Alarieka, there were lots of other shops too.
Jayleneโs BBQ stand attracted a lot of student customers from the school, and the nearby shop owners were angry but didnโt dare to say anything.
