The assistant paused and said, “Ms. Huston isn’t needed either?
The organizers are in a tough spot. I heard they only agreed to give access because of you. If we add one more person, maybe
you should ask Ms. Huston what she thinks?”
Kieran said, “No need, she already joined the competition.”
The assistant quickly changed their tone: “Okay, I’ll go reply to
the Mcintosh Piano Competition organizers.”
Kieran put down his phone and quickly started the car. The car
smoothly drove onto the avenue.
As soon as Alarieka got up, she saw Tamika in the kitchen
making breakfast.
She sat at the table yawning, feeling bored and watching the
- TV.
She grabbed the remote and casually changed the channel.
Entertainment Big News: “Hi everyone, we are Entertainment
Big News. Today, Kieran, the chairman and president of Kierose
Group, transferred five percent of the company’s shares to
pianist Roschelle. Now, Ms. Whitaker has become one of the
Chapter149
shareholders of Kierose Group. Congratulations to them, this
lovely couple-”
Alarieka’s fingers paused for a few seconds, then quickly moved
to the next one when she realized.
Tamika came over with two bowls of oatmeal and handed them
to her.
Alarieka lowered her head and stirred the oatmeal in the bowl
with a spoon.
Tamika looked at her face carefully and said, “Five percent of
the shares isn’t a lot. The novels I read are all fifty or sixty
percent. Kieran was pretty stingy too.”
Alarieka pulled at the corner of her mouth and shook her head
helplessly, “Kierose Group’s market value was already over fifty
billion. Five percent of the shares was a lot, enough for a lot of
people to live worry–free for several lifetimes.”
Tamika mumbled, “I–I thought it was just a little, is it really this
much?”
Her voice got quieter and quieter: “Well, he’s actually pretty
big… but still really stingy, we don’t need to be jealous.”
A feeling of helplessness welled up in Alarieka’s heart. She took

a bite of oatmeal and said, “Alright, let’s not talk about this
anymore!“”
the Argent’s villa.
Roschelle sat across from Kieran, sipping her milk and asked
him quietly, “Kier, did you pick up Alarieka yesterday?”
Kieran said quietly, “Just happened to run into him, so I brought
him back on the way.”
Roschelle’s smile at the corners of her mouth was a bit stiff: “No
wonder you came back pretty late yesterday.”
Kieran handed over the fried egg and said, “I’ve been busy lately.
You should go to bed early, don’t wait up for me.”
Roschelle bit her lip: “We had to wait.”
Wallace cleared his throat, “Kier, I know guys should focus on
their careers, but Rose is pregnant now. You should take care of
her and stop messing around with those shady people outside.”
Roschelle pressed her lips together and carefully looked up at
Kieran’s face.
Kieran’s face looked calm, couldn’t tell what he was feeling, and
had no idea what he thought about what Wallace said.

She felt a bit nervous inside.

Wallace knocked on the table and coughed a few times, “Since
you already transferred the shares of Kierose Group to Rose, the
engagement should be scheduled now. Last time wasn’t good
enough, so this time we have to get everything ready, guard the
door, and don’t let anyone in who shouldn’t be here.”
When the last chaotic and noisy engagement party and
birthday banquet were mentioned, Wallace’s eyes suddenly
turned cold.
If the Argent family hadn’t stepped in on time, we really
wouldn’t have been able to shut the media up, and everything
would’ve been exposed.
Roschelle heard that and smiled, feeling relieved.
Yeah, everyone said where the money is, that’s where the love
- is.
Kieran gave her way more than he gave Alarieka.
That was five percent of Kierose Group’s shares, and even if she
just sat around spending money, it would’ve been enough to
keep her rich for generations.
This was something Alarieka didn’t have.

Thinking of this, Roschelle looked up at Kieran, her eyes full of admiration and affection, mixed with a shy girlishness.
In Roschelle’s delighted and expectant eyes, Kieran said Mm,
okay.
The smile on Roschelle’s face instantly grew bigger, and her eyes were full of gentle, happy laughter.
At night, Roschelle half–lay on the bed, her eyes complicated as she stared at her own belly.
This kid was almost two months old.
If it wasn’t for… if it wasn’t for… she wouldn’t have ended up like
this.
But if it weren’t for this kid, she and Kieran wouldn’t have
moved so fast.
She couldn’t help but mutter to herself, “If you were Kier’s kid,
then-”
“Rose!”
Clarissa’s cheerful voice came from outside the room, and the
door was pushed open from the outside without being knocked
