“What?!” Jeffrey was in disbelief. “That’s impossible!”
“You’re too self-righteous.” Caroline smiled. “Didn’t you realize that you’ve been thinking wrongly from the beginning?”
“What is it?” Jeffrey stared at her.
Caroline: “It happened in Alexandria College. After the fire, a group of people entered the fire scene and blocked the police and investigators outside. Do you think you can hide this from the Anderson family?”
Jeffrey’s face darkened. “So, from the beginning, you knew that there was something in the laboratory, and I had secrets. Is that why you agreed to my request and cooperated with me to investigate the fire? You’ve been acting for me.”
Caroline did not comment. “You can say that.”
Jeffrey continued to ask, “What about Sonia? What about the kidnapping? Is it also fake?”
Caroline spread her hands. “Oh, that’s true.” “What about the fire? How’s the investigation going?”
Caroline replied, “This is still under investigation.”
The truth and falsehood of the matter were all jumbled together, and Jeffrey felt like his mind was in a mess. He needed to sort everything out before he could make the next judgment.
Seeing that his expression kept changing and he was immersed in his own thoughts, Caroline tidied the wrinkles on her clothes and opened the door to the ward, ready to walk out.
“Wait a minute!” Jeffrey came back to his senses. “From the beginning, in the Astronomical Hall, you approached me with a purpose, didn’t you?
He went through everything that had happened during this period of time in his mind and still found a lot of things that were not right. The reason why everything started to collapse was because Caroline appeared in the Astronomical Hall.
Jeffrey was still clinging to his intuition and judgment, believing that Caroline’s sudden appearance was not simple.
Caroline turned around and gave him an appreciative look. “You finally guessed it right.”
“I knew my judgment wasn’t wrong.” Jeffrey muttered to himself as he made a guess, “So why did you approach me in the first place? For my experiment?”
Before Caroline could say anything, Jeffrey denied it himself. “No, that’s not right. You shouldn’t know about the laboratory. I’ve checked the surveillance footage from the past year. Before that, you’ve never appeared in the Astronomical Hall, so it’s impossible for you to discover this secret…”
He looked at Caroline with a complicated expression. “When did you find out about my identity?”
Caroline didn’t deny this point and said frankly, “A little earlier.”
“What’s the purpose?” Jeffrey no longer dared to underestimate Caroline or the Anderson family. Since Caroline had spent so much effort to get close to him, there must be a reason behind it. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝒷𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Caroline: “I do have a purpose. My target is not you, but your grandfather,
Retlin Shwell. I need a normal way to interact with him.”
“As expected.” Jeffrey gritted his teeth. “If that’s the case, then you should continue to act now and not confess in front of me. That way, you can still think of getting my recommendation. ”
Caroline sighed, “Did your grandfather not tell you at all? He entrusted the whole investigation of the fire to the Anderson family, and kindly invited Edwin and I to his birthday party next month.”
Jeffrey was truly shocked. His grandfather hadn’t revealed any information at all, and it was clearly something that was closely related to him.
He closed his eyes tightly. Once again, he was left out of the picture.
The feeling of being backstabbed by an outsider and his family made Jeffrey feel especially powerless.
Perhaps it was the consecutive blows that made him calm down a little. Then, he immediately realized something was wrong. “Since you’ve already achieved your goal, why are you still acting with me? Are you playing with me?”
“No, I just have some things to verify.” Caroline admitted that she had indeed done something wrong in this matter, but this person was Jeffrey, so she didn’t feel guilty.
As for what to verify, it was naturally to verify whether the Shwell family was a partner that could be cooperated with. In her current situation, it was not an exaggeration to say that she was treading on thin ice. She had to choose her partners carefully..
