Chapter 2 An Affair
730 Words
Carolyn desperately restrained her anger and shame and asked, "What happened last night?"
Ellis said calmly, "I was drunk at a dinner party last night, and it seemed that someone had drugged the wine. When I returned to my room and saw someone lying on the bed, we had s*x in a daze."
Drugged? Carolyn remembered the hot feeling in her body last night. But she had clearly resisted, couldn't Ellis feel it?
She was about to ask the question, but then she thought that under the effect of the drug, he might not really notice it. Although Carolyn had only met Ellis a few times, she felt that he would not be such a shameless person, and he was also a victim in this matter, so she should not press him.
"Then please forget about last night completely, and let's pretend it never happened, okay?" Carolyn pleaded.
But Ellis said with a meaningful meaning, "The dinner last night was arranged by Herbert Logan."
Is this implying something? Can't this be hidden? Could it be that her boyfriend, Herbert, knew about it?
While Carolyn was thinking, Ellis had already changed her clothes, casually wiped the towel on her hair and threw it aside. The wet hanging hair covered his good-looking eyes, hiding the emotions in them.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Carolyn just came back to her senses, "Cam..." Before she finished shouting, Ellis's figure had disappeared.
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.
