After Her Engagement Annulled, the Weak Rich Daughter Becomes a Big Shot!

Chapter 55 - 55 Exposing the Scandal

55 Exposing the Scandal

The sudden change in Old Lady Campbell’s tone made everyone’s expression change.

Austin frowned. With the support of Old Lady Campbell, Caroline would probably be smug and use the Old Madam’s name to continue pestering him.

The annoyance in his heart was about to show on his face, but he didn’t expect Caroline to reject her. “Old Madam, thank you for your kind intentions. However, as the saying goes, a melon that is forcefully twisted is not sweet. Austin doesn’t like me, and similarly, I don’t like him either. Therefore, there’s no point in continuing this marriage.”

After that, Caroline took out the marriage contract and tore it in half in front of everyone. Then, she threw the marriage contract into the trash can as if she was throwing trash.

Looking at her expression and actions, there was not a trace of reluctance to part with the engagement. It was a complete slap to the faces of those who said that she was unwilling to let go of Austin.

After being abandoned by Caroline like this, even Austin felt a little angry.

Caroline turned around to look at him. The smile on her face was not gloomy at all. “Your wish has finally come true. You can be with Kelly openly without any worries. You don’t have to hide from people anymore.”

“Sister, what did you say?” When Kelly heard her, she quickly jumped out and said, “I know that you’re very sad that you broke off your engagement with Austin, so you spoke without thinking. But I think you might have misunderstood something, right?” She looked at Caroline with threatening eyes.

As the saying goes, if you lack something, you will be particularly attached to it. As the foster daughter of the Lambert family, Kelly was very particular about her status and reputation.

On the one hand, she created a pitiful image of being bullied by Caroline in front of outsiders to gain the sympathy and attention of the public. On the other hand, she also set herself up according to the standards of a daughter from a prestigious family. Therefore, although she wanted to hook up with Austin, she was not willing to bear the reputation of stealing her sister’s man and betraying her.

As an outstanding heir of the Campbell family, Austin, who had his eyes on the top of his head, did not want to be stained with his sister-in-law. Thus, the two of them tacitly chose to hide their relationship.

Therefore, although Kelly and Austin were close, they were very careful in front of others. In addition, Kelly had other suitors, so those who were not particularly close to her did not notice the ambiguous relationship between the two.

However, Caroline had exposed their relationship in front of everyone, and Kelly would never allow her to do so.

Caroline laughed. “What? You two love each other so much that you can’t even openly admit your feelings for each other? This makes me doubt the relationship between the two of you.”

Everyone was confused. Could it be that the foster daughter of the Lambert family had an undeniable relationship with Austin?

“Sister,” Kelly said pitifully, “I know that you’ve been targeting me because you suspect my relationship with Austin. But I’ve already told you, we’re innocent.”

She looked at Austin, who had a grave expression, and gritted her teeth. “From the past until now, we have never had a relationship that goes beyond friendship.” As Kelly was defending herself, she also left a message. She said ‘now’ and did not include the future. This was to clarify their relationship in the future.

Caroline looked at the two stubborn people and suddenly said in surprise, “I remember that a few days ago, there was a theft in the storage room of Teaching Building C. They said that the damage caused was not small. The logistics department couldn’t find the suspect, so they specially installed a camera inside.”

As soon as she said that, Austin and Kelly’s faces turned pale.

Since there was a surveillance camera in the storage room, did that mean that everything they had said and done in the day had been recorded?

If that video were to be spread, everything that she had tried so hard to protect would be destroyed. At the thought of this, Kelly lost her rationality. She pointed at Caroline and said, “You did it, didn’t you? You just want to ruin my reputation!”

Caroline shrugged. “I’m not that capable to order the school’s Logistics Department to work. I just want to remind the two of you that if you want to have an affair in the future, it’s best to get a room in a hotel. It isn’t like you can’t afford it, so why did you hide in the storage room? Even if there are no cameras, it’s still quite dirty inside. Don’t you feel disgusted when you’re doing it inside?”
