Chapter122
Whether it was before or in this life, Jaylene helped her so
much.
Alarieka thought it was kind of sneaky to take Jaylene away
before Kieran could, but she also felt pretty glad.
After evening study class ended, Alarieka and Jaylene rushed
out of the school, rode out the tricycle, put the baking tray on it,
and started the fire.
In just a few minutes, the classmates who heard the news early
were already lining up in front of the stall, grabbing the baskets
and squeezing together to pick out the barbecue.
In the crowd, Alarieka even saw teachers and leaders from
school lining up.
She saw Reyna, and Reyna smiled at her gently.
“I’m coming, I’m coming,” the first one was a classmate from
Alarieka’s class, who handed a basket of barbecue to Alarieka,
“Mine, hurry up, I want to eat.”
Jaylene took the BBQ basket and sorted the food onto the grill.
The smell of veggies and meat quickly filled the air.
Chapter122
In a flash, the shelves were already piled with the barbecue
baskets that the classmates had left.
Alarieka was in charge of the dipping sauce, and Jaylene’s side
hadn’t finished frying yet, so she had some time to watch the
other classmates.
A lot of students kind of glanced at her, obviously still a bit
wary because of the rumors about her before.
“This is Alarieka, how come she was selling barbecue with
Jaylene? Wasn’t she adopted by the Argent family?”
“You forgot? She was kicked out by the Argent family before,
and now she’s out of money, so she could only set up a street
stall.”
People whispered about Alarieka’s actions. Alarieka heard it all,
but just quietly took the barbecue, dipped it in the sauce,
wrapped it up and handed it over: “That’s twenty–three dollars,
please scan the code.”
“Tch, I thought Alarieka was some rich princess, but now she’s
just selling BBQ, right? I don’t get what she was so proud of
before. Did you guys forget what she did before?”
The classmates around me all went silent.

The classmates who were excitedly picking out skewers slowed
down their hands, too.
Suddenly, one of the students stood up from the crowd and said,
“Did something happen? That’s all just rumors. Only you guys
with big mouths are talking nonsense. There’s no proof at all.”
When one person stood out, there would be another.
“Yeah, so what if I sold barbecue? I made money fair and square,
how did that bother you? If you’ve got what it takes, go set up
your own stall. Bet you wouldn’t even have the guts.”
If there was a second person, there would be a third, a fourth,
and a fifth person.
Speaking of those few students who had complaints leaving, the rest of the students finally quieted down, picked out barbecue
for themselves, put it on the rack, and lined up in an orderly
way.
Alarieka looked up and noticed that the girl who spoke first was
the same one who had crashed into Kieran’s car at the school
gate.
The girl was also holding a basket full of barbecue. Not far
away, her mom was waiting on an electric scooter. When she
saw the girl looking over, she nodded at her in a friendly way.

Alarieka had a thought and glanced over the group of students.
Counting her past lives and this one, this was the first time she
accepted kindness from others.
In the past, everyone just disliked her.
She slowly curled her lips into a smile and nodded at the aunt,
too.
Jaylene bumped her shoulder and said, “What are you standing
there for? Hurry up, don’t keep people waiting.”
Alarieka just noticed that there were already several skewers
piled up high in the dipping sauce plate.
She immediately started to panic and rush around.
A crowd slowly gathered around the BBQ stand, and Alarieka
and Jaylene’s business was booming. They were so busy, they
didn’t have time to say anything else.
Of course, I didn’t notice it either. Clarissa walked out of the
school, saw what was happening, and gave a cold laugh. She
took out her phone and snapped a picture of Alarieka, who was
busy dipping sauce.
She tapped her finger on the phone screen, sent the photo to the
Chapter122
family group chat, and then @‘d everyone in the group one by
one.
“Take a look.”
“Alarieka was down and out and had to sell barbecue.”
“That’s so funny, do you guys want to see the video? I took one, I could send it to you.”
Roschelle replied really fast: “Oh my god, how could this happen?”
“Wasn’t she a senior in high school? How could she study like
that?”
“Weren’t you worried Alarieka would see it when you posted it
here?”
