Before, she got obsessed because she didn’t take the exam week. After the exam papers were released, she just kept writing them over and over again, almost memorizing all the questions and answers.
As long as nothing went wrong, she would have a good grade this exam week.
But she couldn’t let her guard down either, she still had to pick up the knowledge and study hard.
I looked up again. The houses not far outside the window had already turned off their lights, and everything around was quiet.
When I went to school in the morning, Clarissa still didn’t come to school.
Alaricka was happy to have some peace and quiet, and could study without worries.
But after school, Holter messaged her: “Room 303 on Octember Club, Kieran’s here too, you coming?”
Hadn’t replied yet, and Holter’s next message already came in.
“Haven’t wished you happy birthday yet, come on, a lot of people were waiting to celebrate your birthday.”
“I also got you a really pretty dress. I made you mad a few days ago, so just take this dress as my way of saying sorry.”
Alaricka looked at the message and suddenly remembered it was her birthday today.

It was today in the previous life, at her birthday party, when Holter gave her that dress with hidden intentions, and then after she put it on, he pulled it off in front of everyone, making her lose all her dignity.
After a moment. Alaricka looked down with a blank face and tapped. on her phone screen.
“Okay. coming right away.”
On the other side. Holter looked at the text message on his phone, and his smile got bigger.
His friend nudged his shoulder: “So, is she coming or not?”
“Come on, I invited her. Could she not come?”
When he spoke, there was an obvious smug smile on Holter’s face: “Besides, you guys didn’t see how clingy she used to be with me, calling me ‘brother‘ all the time. She was so dumb, there’s no way she wouldn’t listen to me.”
The friend laughed too: “Alright, then let’s get ready and help you
Vent.”
Holter nodded. “Go ahead,”
Holter looked at the text on his phone, and while no one knew, he actually let out a sigh of relief.
His friends couldn’t tell, but he could.
Alaricka was really different, totally not like before.
Alaricka used to be really timid. Whatever he said, she just went along with it. Alaricka didn’t dare to fight back at all. She even looked at him with this admiring look, like she really thought of him as her brother.

He used to not care about this cheap little sister. He just saw Alarieka looking so timid and wanted to mess with her. Watching Alarieka get all teary–eyed and grateful over a little bit of kindness from him, he just- thought it was funny and entertaining.
Just thought Alaricka was a pretty decent way to kill time.
But this time when he came back, he keenly noticed that Alarieka was really different. There wasn’t that old admiration in her eyes when she looked at him. Instead, there was a kind of tense stubbornness.
He was a bit nervous.
This time when he came back, he lost his temper at Alarieka and said some harsh things to her, and yeah, part of it was because he wanted to stand up for Roschelle and Clarissa.
But part of it was that he wanted to see Alarieka sizing things up under his threats and bribes, calling him brother again, and following him around like before, calling him brother.
He just never expected that Alaricka had changed so much. Even when he talked so tough, Alarieka still stuck out her chin and wouldn’t back down.
He’d been kind of nervous these past few days.
Today he tested the waters and sent a few messages to Alaricka, and Alarieka just obediently came over.
His heart finally let out a sigh of relief.
Alaricka was still the same as before, so he felt relieved.
It’s just, this didn’t mean he wasn’t mad.
Still should’ve given Alarieka a good lesson.

Holter put down her phone and picked up the light pink dress that was set aside.
This dress was carefully designed by him. It was an off–shoulder dress. If you just gave the ribbon at the back a gentle pull, the dress would, loosen and slide oll the wearer.
This dress was the one he carefully picked out for Alaricka, as her apology gift to him.
As long as he got through tonight, he still treated Alarieka as his little sister, and things between him and her were just like before.
While I was thinking, someone knocked on the door of the private room from outside.
Knock, knock, knock-
