Chapter 3 Divorce

Luis Campos stepped out of the court building and watched Cariana Rogers and her family get into a Porsche to leave.

He and Cariana Rogers have just signed the divorce papers, and from now on the two no longer have any relationship.

Luis Campos sat down on a stone bench on the sidewalk. It was raining heavily, and soon, his shoulders were wet.

Although he accepted this fact, he still felt indescribably frustrated in his heart, after all, for the past two years he had truly loved Cariana Rogers.

Suddenly, someone appeared right next to him. Luis Campos looked up. A young girl with her hair tied up was holding an umbrella over his head.

Luis Campos recognized this girl, she was Julia Rogers, also the person involved in the ridiculous adultery story that day, the two were rumored by the Rogers family to have an affair with each other, and humiliated by everyone.

Since that day, after leaving the hotel, he did not meet this girl, nor knew how their family treated her.

Julia Rogers covered the umbrella over the two of them, and worriedly asked: "Brother-in-law, why are you here?"

“Me and Cariana Rogers are already divorced. I'm not your brother-in-law any more."

Luis Campos sighed: "It's something that has to happen sooner or later. Her family is not happy with me. Nor can I give your sister what she wants. I'm sorry, you're also involved in this."

Julia Rogers didn't say anything but just invited him into a cafe. She then handed her phone to him, playing a video.

This video was taken by Julia Rogers from the hotel's security camera.

The hotel manager did not allow her to see this video, she had to bribe a laborer. When the security room changed shifts, she sneaked into the security room and found the video.

In the video, a waiter helped Julia Rogers into the hotel room, followed by Cariana Rogers directing another waiter to help Luis Campos inside.

After that, she also entered the room for a long time, presumably to take off their clothes, and then she came out.

Luis Campos's face paled when he saw what had just happened, he stammered: "Could it be... is this whole thing set up? Cariana harmed us?"

Julia Rogers nodded: "I heard my stepmother talking to her. They wanted to find a good reason for her to divorce you, and also wanted to find a way to kick me out of the house, so they came up with that method.”

The person he loved for two years could treat him like that, Luis Campos felt his whole body shiver.

His hand clenched as if love had turned to hatred. He couldn't accept it when someone trampled on his feelings and sincerity like that.

Luis Campos raised his head and said to Julia Rogers: "How do you want to handle this? Can you forgive them?”

Julia Rogers smiled slightly: "Of course not. I am not an angel, to those who have harmed me, I want them to also pay for their actions.”

She continued: “Cariana and her mother are afraid that I will take a part of the property, moreover, she wants to marry director Jonathan. I will not let this happen.”

But the important question is, what can they do? Cariana Rogers was the future heir of the Rogers family, of the Janna company, and the two of them are just low-income people in society.

Luis Campos sighed softly. Julia Rogers continued:

“How are you going to live now? Do you have a job yet?”

Luis Campos shook his head slightly.

Julia Rogers thought for a moment and then said: "Currently, my library needs a security officer. The salary is quite good, there is a small room for him to stay in. If you don't mind…”

Currently, Luis Campos has no other choice. He used his savings for two years to buy a diamond necklace for Cariana Rogers, which she ended up throwing to the ground.

Luis Campos nodded: "Thank you, this is probably the best solution for me right now."

However, before she could finish her words, Julia Rogers's phone rang.

Julia Rogers frowned slightly and then picked up the phone: "Hello, Director Legge, what's wrong with you calling me?"

His scream echoed through the phone: “Julia Rogers, do you know what you did? Go to the library immediately, you have to explain this to me."

Julia Rogers looked bewilderedly at the call that had just ended. Sitting on the opposite side of her, Luis Campos curiously asked: "Is something wrong?" “Maybe I have to go to the library downtown now.”

When Julia Rogers and Luis Campos ran to the library, there were three police cars in front of the library stopping, and passersby also stopped to see what had just happened.

Julia Rogers frowned slightly, she squeezed through a few people in front of the door and walked inside.

Seeing Julia Rogers appear, Director Legge pointed directly at her: "Dear police, it is her. She is the curator of that book.”

A certain policeman walked in front of Julia Rogers, he gave her a paper from the court, asking her to go to the police station to coordinate the investigation with them.

He explained: “The Book of the Devil's Secret is the city's legacy, however, the central library announced that the book had been stolen. You are the manager of this book, so we invite you to the police station to investigate.”

“Sto… stolen?” Julia Rogers trembled: "Impossible. Apparently, I still saw it this morning. Before I got off work, I checked the book one more time and then left the library. Only me and Director Legge know the password to that safe.”

Director Legge shouted: “I had just returned from a meeting at the town hall when I found the safe open. That's why I called the police to investigate. Don't try to put all the blame for this on me."

Julia Rogers thought quickly and said: "What about the camera, the camera in the safe area?"

That's everything available right now.
