Chapter 249: Design

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Jeffrey understood Caroline’s past experiences and deduced that as someone who had been bullied for a long time, she would probably hate bullying if she hadn’t turned black.

In addition, she was able to donate the large amount of wealth she had inherited without hesitation, so she must be very soft-hearted. Thus, Jeffrey deliberately used three tickets to lure the three guys from before on the way to Caroline’s class. He then provoked them with words and made them beat him up so that Caroline would appear and save him.

It turned out that his plan was effective, and Caroline really came forward to save him. But Jeffrey looked at the current Caroline and felt that things weren’t going as he had expected.

Jeffrey had expected Caroline to empathize with him after saving him and ask about his well-being. At this time, if he acted pitiful and led the conversation, their relationship should be much closer.

But why was it that in reality, after Caroline chased the three of them away and found out that he was the one being bullied, she was not surprised at all. After greeting him, she was about to leave.

“Wait a minute.” Jeffrey could only stop her. He hadn’t achieved his goal yet, so how could he let her go so easily?

He held his stomach and pretended to be weak as he walked out of the stairwell. “I haven’t officially thanked you for saving me.”

“It’s nothing,” Caroline said nonchalantly.

“To you, it might be a piece of cake, but to me, it’s a real solution, so it’s very important to me.”

Caroline chuckled. “Looking at how you’re arguing with reason, I don’t think you’re so weak that you’ll be bullied. Moreover, you didn’t say anything.”

Jeffrey’s eyes twitched. He felt like Caroline’s words were hinting at something. Did he just reveal a flaw?

“I only dared to say a few more words because you’re a good person, Caroline.” He waved his hand in panic.

Rubbing his slightly red face, he lowered his head and smiled bitterly. “As for those people, you know how cruel they are when they bully people. I can’t resist at all.”

Caroline nodded and said, “Oh.” She didn’t express her opinion. She looked at the time and said, “I’m sorry. Although I sympathize with your experience, I have to go to class now. Since you’re fine, I’ll leave first.”

Jeffrey was afraid that he would give himself away if he acted too aggressively, so he didn’t dare to stay any longer. He could only watch Caroline go upstairs and leave.

An obscure look flashed across his eyes. It seemed that Caroline was quite guarded. It would not be so easy for him to achieve his goal.

But so what? If he couldn’t do it once, he would try it twice or thrice. Jeffrey was very confident that he would succeed. After all, he had always been like this since he was young. As long as he wanted to do something, he rarely failed.

However, what he didn’t know was that Caroline, who had turned around to leave, had a dull smile on her face. She had thought that Jeffrey would use a more brilliant method, but she didn’t expect him to use such an old trick as ‘saving the damsel in distress.’

As Caroline went upstairs, she tapped the railing with her book and thought,

‘Then let me see how capable you are.’

Originally, she had guessed that Jeffrey would wait a day or two before taking action, but Jeffrey was much more efficient than she had imagined.

At noon, Caroline came to the Astronomical Hall’s audio room as usual, and Jeffrey came with gifts.

“What are you doing?” Caroline looked at the two sets of expensive jewelry on the table with a puzzled expression.

Jeffrey pushed two sets of jewelry forward. “This is to thank you for helping me out this morning. The other set is for me to ask you for a favor.”

Caroline didn’t even look at the jewelry. Instead, she stared at Jeffrey. “What favor?”

To be able to produce two sets of jewelry in such a short period of time, Jeffrey must have come prepared. She was very curious as to what tricks this person could use.

“I know that it’s a bit difficult to make a request, but I really need this leader, so I’m thick-skinned enough to ask you.” Jeffrey hesitated.. “I… Can I ask for your protection?
