On the other end of the phone, Henry replied, [If there’s a chance, I really want to meet this big fool.] After all, it was rare for someone to be so unlucky that Caroline had spent a lot of effort to set up a trap.
Caroline replied, [I don’t think he’ll be too happy with that evaluation.] Henry didn’t think much of it. [Hmph, that’s his business.]
Caroline had no choice but to change the topic. [Did you finish arranging it?]
Speaking of serious matters, Henry was still very serious. [It’s been arranged. They will probably take action in three days, which is the weekend.]
Caroline calculated the time. [Then we have to speed up.]
Henry, [Don’t worry, everything is ready. We’re just waiting to invite this lord into the trap.]
As for this lord, it was naturally Jeffrey.
It turned out that Caroline had set up a series of traps for him from the beginning.
The first was to pretend to cooperate with Jeffrey to investigate the fire world and trick him into joining the game.
The second was to pull his grandfather, Retlin, into the trap. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. She and Retlin were the oriole, while Jeffrey was the mantis. The two of them had tricked Jeffrey.
The third step was the main focus of Caroline’s plan, which was to divert the trouble to the other side and drag the Shwell family down with him, while at the same time retaliating against some people.
After verifying that the Shwell family was worth recruiting, Caroline immediately had a plan in mind. The first thing they did was to push the blame of the fire onto someone. Then, they would take the opportunity to sow discord between the two parties and completely provoke a conflict between them.
Therefore, from the very beginning, the kidnapping case against Sonia was fabricated. This was just a trap set up by them to create a third party to intervene in this matter.
As for the scapegoat, Caroline had already chosen him. It was Corwin Adelo, her former teammate.
Thinking of Corwin, a flash of hostility appeared in Caroline’s eyes.
The two of them had come from the same training camp, and they had viewed each other as their biggest rivals in the camp, competing and improving together.
Although the two of them did not have the same ideals, the two of them had fought side by side on the battlefield many times. They were comrades who could entrust their backs to each other.
Caroline didn’t expect that such a comrade would stand behind her enemies. With his understanding of Luo Ling, he helped those people eliminate their dissidents, uprooting her forces one by one, causing many of her relatives and friends to die or be injured.
How could Caroline not hate such a person?
Apart from that, there was another reason why she chose Corwin as the first target of revenge.
Although Corwin had excellent combat ability, his background was not deep, and he had offended many people over the years. Therefore, it would not be so easy to arouse the vigilance of those people and cause a large-scale counterattack.
Secondly, Corwin was the lackey of that group of people, and he stood up to represent their interests. Therefore, if he attacked the Shwell family, in the eyes of the Shwell family who were now almost afraid of war, it would be the same as those people attacking the Shwell family.
The Shwell family was able to fend off many enemies at once, but it would be extremely difficult to deal with that group of people. But if their family only dealt with Corwin in secret, it wouldn’t be difficult.
What Caroline needed to do now was to lead the suspect of the fire to Corwin.
She Imew that Jeffrey had a lot of doubts about her, but that was exactly what Caroline wanted. Smart people or people who thought they were smart were more inclined to believe what they saw or found out rather than what others told them.
What Caroline did was to bury clues in different places for Jeffrey to find, and then point the suspect to Corwin, the ‘real murderer’.
As for Corwin, the bait was even simpler.
As an ambitious family, Corwin was always trying to climb up the ladder, which was why he was attached to that group of people.
But unfortunately, even though he had made significant contributions in annihilating the Pritz family, he didn’t receive much in the end.
After all, the act of betraying others so casually was more frightening and made them more guarded than praising and putting him in an important position.
Therefore, Corwin urgently needed a chance to make a contribution and regain his position. Caroline targeted this point and put a piece of meat in front of him to lure him into attacking.
This fat piece of meat was Jeffrey, the youngest grandson of the Shwell family, and the experiments he had done.
From Henry’s feedback, it seemed that Corwin, who was eager for quick success, had already been set up..
