“I remembered, Alarieka was also in this group.”
Clarissa typed with a cold laugh, “Don’t worry, even if the
Argent family adopted her, she still wasn’t qualified to join this
group.”
“Rose, don’t worry, Kieran just added you to the group, there
wasn’t any other woman.”
Roschelle got into the Argent family group chat a few days ago.
Alarieka never came into this group.
No matter in the previous life or in this life.
Roschelle replied with a cute smiling emoji.
Maybe everyone else was busy, Clarissa didn’t get any response
from the others.
She didn’t need to reply either, just shot a quick video of
Alarieka and sent it straight to the group.
“That’s so funny, look at the sauce on her face, so gross.”
Then, still tagged everyone in the group one by one.

This time, Marlene replied, “Don’t post unrelated people in the
group, it cheapens us.”
Clarissa playfully stuck out her tongue.
“It’s fine, just showing everyone a joke!”
Holter also replied, “Wanna find someone to flip her stall.”
Holter was still hung up on what Alarieka did back then.
Alarieka made him lose face in front of everyone, how could he
still have the nerve to smile so happily?
Seeing this, Clarissa’s eyes flickered and she replied, “We’re not
like Alarieka. We’re cultured, we have to be polite, we can’t be
so rude.”
Holter: “…
Clarissa smiled, “Don’t rush.”
At the same time, Kieran, who was still working overtime at the
company, also saw the message in the group.
He clicked on the video Clarissa shot right away. Watching
Alarieka skillfully dip the freshly grilled barbecue into the
sauce, his brows furrowed.
Chapter123
The director who was reporting saw Kieran’s furrowed brows,
and his heart skipped a beat. He started to feel unsure and sweat
broke out on his forehead.
It’s over, it’s over, he messed up again somewhere. He just got
yelled at, and now he’s gonna get yelled at again.
“Mr. Argent, was something wrong?”
Kieran snapped his phone shut with a click, his voice lower and
colder than before: “The data’s wrong, take it back and fix it.”
The director was totally confused: “Mr. Argent, I wanted to ask,
which data was wrong?”
From the start of the report until now, it was just five minutes.
How did Kieran spot the data error from so much data?
How was that possible?
Kieran took the laser pointer and circled a number on the
screen. His voice was low, and there was a hint of impatience in
his eyes.
“Here,” Kieran said, tossing the laser pointer onto the desk. He
said coldly, “I hope there won’t be such a low–level mistake like
wrong data in tomorrow’s report.”
Chapter123
The director was sweating and nodded, saying, “Yes, Mr. Argent,
I remembered.”
When the deputy GM was about to step up and report, Kieran
raised his hand: “Meeting’s paused, I got something to do, report
tomorrow.”
Hearing this, the rest finally let out a sigh of relief and watched
Kieran leave.
After an hour, Alarieka and Jaylene had already sold out all the
barbecue on the shelves.
The food stall had a lively vibe, and after an hour of work,
Alarieka and Jaylene were both sweaty.
They wiped the sweat off their foreheads, sat down and
counted the money coming in on WhatsApp plus the cash they
got. After adding it up, they made a total of six hundred and
seventy–three dollars that night.
Alarieka knew this should count as the best income in the past
few days.
On the first day, the students were all excited to come and buy
things. In the next few days, their excitement would slowly
fade, and the income would go down.

So, she had to figure something out with Jaylene, had to make
the business last.
Jaylene saw the numbers and was really satisfied. She wiped
her sweat and said, “I’ll go back and figure out the costs, then I’ll
take the money and subtract the costs, and I’ll give you half.”
Alarieka laughed, “No need, I was just helping out. You found
the barbecue stand, you did the grilling, you made the dipping
sauce too. You worked so hard, I didn’t really do much. Just give
me a tenth, that’s enough.”
Seeing that Jaylene was about to say something, Alarieka
quickly cut her off.
“Don’t argue with me about this, and you don’t have to act
tough. Think more about Lorelai in the hospital, you still had to
earn money for her medical bills.”
Alarieka patted her on the shoulder, “I was actually thinking of
not taking any money at all, but I knew you’d feel bad about it,
so just give me one tenth.”
She gave a playful wink, “I’ll just take it as you saving up to pay
me back.”
