Chapter 2 An Affair

Her heart was flustered and also filled with guilt for Herbert. The most important thing is to clean off the traces of her body and get out of here.

Two days before Carolyn graduated, she used the money she earned from her part-time job to rent a small room nearest to the hospital where Aunt Stephanie lived, so that it was easy to take care of Aunt at any time, and she was no longer willing to stay in that cold home and suffer.

There are still some things in the house that have not been taken away, after leaving the hotel, Carolyn returned to the Palmer's villa to pack up.

She opened the door and found no one there, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard a woman's moan coming from upstairs. She went upstairs towards her room, the ambiguous sound became clearer and clearer, the door was not closed tightly, through the gap, she saw a man and a woman intertwined together, the sound was so familiar that it burned her ears.

Carolyn was incredibly dumbfounded for a moment and was about to reach out and push the door when she heard Julian gasp, "Herbert, when are you going to withdraw from Carolyn's marriage?"

"Why mention her?" Herbert's voice was obviously full of boredom.

Julian said smugly, "I know you're not comfortable breaking off the engagement. I've already gotten rid of her as a trouble for you."

Herbert was puzzled, "What did you do?"

Julian's eyes appeared vicious, "I used some tricks to make Carolyn sleep with Ellis Campbell."

Herbert was shocked, "What?!"

Julian was jealous, "Why are you so nervous? Don't you want us to be together openly and honestly."

Herbert was annoyed, he hadn't even slept with Carolyn, and she was taken advantage of by his nominal little uncle, Ellis Campbell. But Julian was right. After this happened, he would be able to withdraw the marriage with Carolyn and be with Julian, and the Palmer family would fully support him in the business world.

Herbert Logan is a typical person whose ability does not match his ambition. His grandfather, that is, Ellis's father, Victor Logan, the old master of the Logan family, never gave his only grandson power and money, hoping that Herbert could make achievements by his own ability. But his intelligence is mediocre, his ability is ordinary, except for the Logan family's power and connections to make a few successful projects, nothing has been achieved.

Herbert coaxed Julian, "My baby is so smart, killing two birds with one stone. I can also make the reputation of Ellis Campbell, the illegitimate son of my family, a little more notorious."

Hearing this, Carolyn was already shaking with anger, she violently pushed open the door of the room and cursed, "You guys are so shameless!"

Herbert was startled, but Julian didn't have a trace of panic, as if everything was expected by her.

Herbert regained his composure and got up to put on his clothes while saying, "Why are you here?"

His indifferent reaction made Carolyn completely disappointed in him. Carolyn had long known that Herbert was an uneducated playboy. If it wasn't for the marriage contract and his grandfather's love for her, Carolyn wouldn't have liked him. This is also the reason why she has not allowed him to touch her. Once a man like Herbert gets her, he will not cherish her.

Even if you lose yourself, you have to lose after marriage, so that there is protection.

"Why did you set me up?" Carolyn's body was trembling uncontrollably, she held the door frame tightly, "If you guys like each other, tell me plainly that I will quit. But you guys actually used such underhanded means to trap me."

Julian's pretty face showed a victor's smile and said smugly, "So what? It's only because you don't know how high the sky is and dream of marrying into the Logan family. You are only worthy of Ellis Campbell, that poor and unappreciated bastard son. It just so happens that you both have no mother..."

Slap!

Carolyn slapped Julian with all her strength.

Julian was dumbfounded by the hit, and it took her a moment to come back to her senses. Her big eyes looked at Carolyn in amazement, and she could hardly believe that Carolyn had slapped her. Ever since she was little, only Julian had bullied Carolyn, even her own mother Alina had never slapped her, how dare Carolyn ...

Julian let out a sharp howl and pounced on Carolyn, ignoring the sheets she had slipped off her body. Carolyn had no strength at the moment and couldn't beat her, fortunately Julian's foot slipped and hit the edge of the bed, yelling in pain, "Ouch! It hurts me. Herbert, come and help me!"

Herbert met Carolyn's cold and mocking eyes, his mind was inexplicably annoyed. Compared to Julian, he likes Carolyn more, otherwise he would not have been good to Carolyn before. Even though he has cheated on Julian for three years, he still dragged his feet and did not want to break up with Carolyn so soon. Of course the more important thing is that he has not yet taken Carolyn's virginity, he is not willing.

Carolyn grabbed the clothesline behind the door and aimed it at them, "Get out of my room!"

Julian was not willing to show her weakness and was about to go forward, but Herbert pulled her back. The situation was so embarrassing that he just wanted to get out of here.

Carolyn closed the door hard, and outside Julian kept cursing and swearing all kinds of ugly words. She drank a lot of water to calm herself down, and hurriedly packed her things to leave this disgusting place.

Back to her own rented cabin, Carolyn's heart just calmed down. The first lesson she learned after graduation was how cruel it was to actually walk into society. After bawling and venting her emotions, Carolyn began to look at her life squarely. The first thing is to break off the marriage with the Logan family, and then work hard to earn money to take care of Aunt Stephanie.

The first thing to do is to fill her stomach and have the strength to do the next thing.

When Carolyn opened the door, a girl about her age stood at the door and was startled.

The girl felt embarrassed and smiled kindly at Carolyn, "Uh, I heard you crying just now. So I came to see what happened. Do you need my help?"

Carolyn wiped away her tears and also smiled, "Thank you. I'm fine. I want to cook some noodles. Can I use the kitchen please?"

"Of course. You can use the common area at your leisure. My name is Betty Young. From now on we are roommates."

Betty's smile was so cute that it immediately cleared the gloom from Carolyn's heart.

She was happy to have such a roommate, "Well, my name is Carolyn Palmer. Nice to meet you, Betty."
