Judys POV That asshole ! Nan gasped as we stood in line at the campus coffee shop , waiting to take our orders .

I cant believe he had the nerve to do that to you last night .

And to involve your mother ?? It was the next morning after Ethan came to see me and I just finished telling Nan about what had happened last night .

I was still in shock that Ethan had the nerve to come to my house and take care of my mother just as I would agree to be his mistress .

I felt disgusted over the fact , and I also felt a bit guilty .

I felt bad for Irene ; she didnt deserve to be treated like that , even if she didnt know about it .

I told him to leave , I concluded the story with a shrug .

What can I get for you ladies this morning ? The Barista , Nicole , asked .

Nicole was in a couple of my courses , and she was a pretty good fighter .

Ive sparred with her on a couple of different occasions .

She worked at the coffee every other morning and she always made my beverages to perfection .

Just a vanilla cappuccino , I told her .

Make that two , Nan said as she pulled out her wallet I shook my head and grabbed my own wallet .

Ill pay , I told her .

You got me a coffee last time , reminded her .

I handed Nicole my card and after the transaction went through , she handed it back .

Coming right up , she said , and she turned to make the drinks .

So , what are you going to do about the whole Ethan situation ? Nan asked as we stepped aside to wait for our cappuccinos .

I looked at her with a frown .

What can I do ? I asked .

He doesnt seem to take no for an answer .

The most I can do is keep working so I can pay off my fathers debt .

Are you going to tell Irene what her fiancé is up to ? Nan asked , raising her brows .

I thought about it for a moment before shaking my head .

It wasnt my business , and Gavin was clear when he said he didnt want me to do or say anything that would jeopardize this pending marriage .

If I was the reason his daughter got hurt , he would never forgive me , and I would be out of a job .

Its honestly not my place and I really dont want to get involved , I told her .

Your cappuccinos are all set , Nicole said , sliding two to go cups in our direction .

Thanks , I said , grabbing both cups and handing one to Nan .

Ill see you in class later .

Nicole waved goodbye as we left the coffee shop and started to walk across the campus .

Nan decided not to ask any more questions about what had happened last night and whether or not I should tell Irene .

As far as Nan knew , I didnt know Irene any better than anyone else .

The Landrys have always been locked up tight and though Irene was known to be in the spotlight , she wasnt known Chapter 0056 to have friends or get around the packs .

She was a mystery to those outside of her family and that made her even more intriguing .

If Nan knew that I actually knew Irene and was getting to know her even better , she would question how I knew the famous Irene Landry and I would have to tell her the entire truth .

It would be a breach of my contract , and I could lose my job .

I had to hold onto this job as if my life depended on it … because it kind of did .

Me and my fathers life depended on this job .

I still have 30 minutes before my class starts ; want to go the lounge for a bit ? I asked as we neared the buildings .

Sure , Nan agreed .

We walked into the fairly busy lounge ; most hung out here before their morning classes .

As soon as I walked in , I noticed something was a bit different .

Students were whispering amongst themselves like they were gossiping about something .

When we walked in , their eyes shifted in my direction .

I frowned as their whispers grew even louder and it was clear they were all talking about me .

But what had I done ? She was the one who got Carol expelled from the school , I heard one of the gossipers saying .

I cant believe she walked in here with her head held high like that .

She has some nerve after the stunt she pulled ! H My cheeks burned with heat , and I glanced at Nan who was eyeing everybody as well , her frown deep .

Whats going on ? I asked her .

Carol was expelled from school , she answered .

And its obvious everyone is blaming you for it even though it wasnt your fault ! She said loud enough for everyone to hear .

We walked through the lounge and reached our normal table near the window .

Carols friends were standing nearby with their arms folded across their chests .

How dare you show your face here after what you did one of them sneered .

Carol worked hard for that scholarship , and you stole it from her ! I turned around to face them , my eyes narrowed .

She cheated , I said through my teeth .

She didnt work hard at all .

Someone else did the work for her .

And you have been deceiving everybody into thinking you are poor , she hissed back .
