However, Caroline didn’t show any attitude toward him. She didn’t hate him or guard against him. It was as if this matter was very ordinary and not worth mentioning.
Jeffrey felt that this was not the normal reaction of a kind girl after learning about this.
With so many contradictions, Jeffrey couldn’t tell which side of Caroline was the real one, nor could he tell what was true and what was false in her words.
Retlin pondered for a moment. “In that case, the fire investigation is not over yet. You should stay by her side and observe her for a while.”
Hearing this, Jeffrey felt like he had to submit to someone else. However, this was his grandfather’s arrangement, and he was indeed being suppressed by
Caroline. If he didn’t think of a way to get back at her, he wouldn’t be satisfied.
That night, Jeffrey was discharged from the hospital. The next morning, he appeared on campus and found Caroline.
Caroline was a little surprised to see him sitting at the next table. “I thought you wouldn’t want to appear in front of me.”
Jeffrey snorted uncomfortably. “The fire investigation isn’t over yet. I hate to give up halfway.”
Caroline jotted down what the professor said on the podium and said in a low voice, “I thought you were already certain that I was involved in the fire, so you would be on guard against me after being exposed.”
“There are indeed too many suspicious points in this matter.” Jeffrey had gone back last night to go through the whole thing again. He still found many unexplainable points, but so what?
“Since you’re not afraid to continue investigating, what do I have to be afraid of?” His tone carried a hint of desperation.
Caroline had no reason not to accept a big fish that had come to her door, so the two of them returned to their previous state of working together to find the culprit behind the fire.
“Right, where’s Sonia?” Jeffrey suddenly asked.
Caroline, who was comparing a surveillance record, didn’t even look up. “She was quite frightened yesterday and wasn’t in a good mental state. I had someone send her to a safe place for secret recuperation.”
Jeffrey replied with an “oh” and didn’t say anything else, as if he had just casually asked a question.
Caroline, on the other hand, stopped moving and looked back at him. “Don’t you want to know if she thanked you? After all, you risked your life to save her yesterday. ”
Jeffrey paused for a moment and sneered. “Thanking me for almost bringing her disaster?”
Caroline looked at him and sincerely suggested, “Why don���t you return to your shy appearance from before?”
Jeffrey raised an eyebrow. “Why? You like that pretentious look?”
“No, I don’t like it. It’s just that,” Caroline denied, “compared to your sarcastic and rebellious behavior, I think you’re not as tiring when you pretend to be annoying.”
Jeffrey felt his temples throb as he gritted his teeth. “Thank you for your sincere suggestion!”
He turned around and decided to ignore this hateful woman for the time being. Otherwise, he would only be furious.
On the way home, Jeffrey instructed the chauffeur, “Find out Sonia’s whereabouts.”
With his grandfather’s permission, he could now openly mobilize the people around him to do things for him.
The driver was a little confused. “Are you saying that Miss Caroline has already arranged for her?” He secretly looked at Jeffrey in the rearview mirror, wondering if his young master was interested in that woman.
Jeffrey was slumped in the backseat with his eyes closed. “I don’t trust her.” To Jeffrey, love was just a spice to him. It was far less important than what he wanted to do, so he didn’t care about a strange woman at all.
The reason why he sent someone to investigate Sonia was because he felt that Caroline was too cunning. He couldn’t tell which of her words were true and which were false.
This feeling of losing control made Jeffrey feel unfamiliar and insecure, so he could only do more to try and grasp more truth and clues. He believed that he would take back the initiative sooner or later.
On the other side, Caroline was also communicating with Henry, discussing how to deal with Jeffrey next..
