Chapter 34

“Mr. Holter, no matter what, you couldn’t treat Alaricka like that,” Wallace said, walking over, his cloudy eyes looking at Holter seriously and silently. “Holter, go to the study and reflect on your mistakes by yourself.”

Holter’s fists clenched and then loosened. He pointed at Alaricka, “Grandpa, I had my reasons for doing this. She slapped Clarissa in the hospital. I was just standing up for Clarissa.”

Wallace’s cloudy eyes looked at Alaricka without much emotion, then he said to Holter, “Go, face the wall and think about what you did.”

Holter gritted his teeth, clenched his fists tightly, and turned away.

Wallace walked over slowly. Tamika was a bit nervous: “Sir Argent, Alaricka just made a mistake for a moment, please don’t blame her.”

“Alaricka Huston.”

Ever since Alaricka and Wallace first met, Wallace had always called her Alaricka. This was the first time he used her full name.

Alaricka couldn’t help but feel a jolt.

Wallace’s voice sounded old, but still had that air of authority: “You should just move out. You staying here always causes a bunch of trouble. It gives me a headache.”

Tamika was shocked: “Sir Argent, you can’t do this!”

Before, it was Alaricka who asked to move out herself, and now it was Wallace who told her to leave. Even though it was the same result, Alaricka still wasn’t satisfied.

The ones who were wrong were Clarissa and Holter. Holter just got a light "think about what you did" punishment, but she had to be kicked out.

She wanted to explain, “It was Clarissa who smeared me online, so I–”

Suddenly, she looked at Wallace’s eyes and expression, which hadn’t changed at all from beginning to end, and slowly closed her mouth.

Because it wasn’t necessary anymore.

Wallace knew everything Clarissa did to her, but still chose to side with Clarissa, told her to shut up, and never even said a harsh word to Clarissa. Let alone this thing.

They were the real family, she and Tamika were outsiders.

Alaricka just breathed steadily and said calmly, “I got it. I’ll move out today.”

Wallace just nodded and left without saying another word.

Tamika stomped her feet and beat her chest behind her: “Alaricka, what are you doing? Don’t you know how to say a few nice words? Sir Argent was soft-hearted, he would always keep you, how could he ever kick you out?”

Alaricka noticed the sympathy and schadenfreude in the villa servants’ eyes. “So, you also knew what happened recently?”

Tamika suddenly shut up.

Alaricka turned around, looking at Tamika with cold eyes: “So why didn’t you stand up for me, not even say a single comforting word?”

Tamika opened her mouth, but couldn’t say a word.

Alaricka suddenly laughed, “Mom, it’s okay, I forgive you. You were just scared of the Argent family’s power and didn’t dare stand up for me. I get it.”

Tamika finally smiled, looking relaxed: “As long as you get it, that’s good. Anyway, you just got a little hurt, so it’s fine to do what Sir Argent said.”

Alaricka said, “So if next, these people want my life, can you still stop them? Or, can you get justice for me?”

The smile on Tamika’s face froze right away.

Alaricka turned around and started walking inside: “So, if you didn’t want me to die, you should’ve moved out with me.”

She walked back to the room to pack her things, moving fast. She was eager to leave.

Tamika didn’t know if she finally figured it out or just had no choice and went back to her room to pack, but either way, being able to leave was a good thing.

At this point, almost all the servants in the villa already knew they were leaving. They kept passing by here from time to time, thinking they were being careful as they looked over.

Alaricka ignored it and looked down to pack her things.

She turned her head and saw a servant standing behind her, with a kind of mocking smile on his face.

“Ms. Huston, Sir Argent told me to come help you pack your things. Sir Argent said you should hurry up and not waste time.”

Alaricka didn’t answer, and the servant just walked over on their own, roughly pulled the clothes out of the closet, and stuffed them messily into the suitcase.

Alaricka kicked right away: “Get out!”

Alaricka always knew the servants in the villa looked down on her and Tamika. It was just that they thought she and Tamika were servants too, so why did they get to suddenly become important? They were jealous, so they badmouthed.

The servant’s face turned dark: “Alaricka, what are you pretending for? Sir Argent already kicked you out, and you still think you’re the young lady?”
