Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Although it was a good thing, in order not to let Retlin notice his intentions, Edwin pretended to think for a few days before cautiously giving an answer, and the conditions were extrely harsh.

After a few rounds of negotiation, the two sides finally decided on a partnership.

Retlin also officially invited Edwin and Caroline, the fiancée and fiancé, to attend his upcoming birthday party.

Of course, this was a story for the future. When Jeffrey heard from his grandfather that the investigation had been stopped, he didn’t really give up. Instead, he wanted to know the truth even more.

As a mber of the Shwell family, he hated the feeling of being excluded from the family. This was also one of the reasons why he desperately wanted to succeed and gain recognition.

However, since his grandfather didn’t want him to continue investigating, he couldn’t use the power of the Shwell family. Otherwise, his grandfather would have received the news as soon as he sent the order.

Jeffrey thought about it for a long ti, and then he thought of Caroline, the woman who made him feel that sothing was wrong. Suddenly, he had an idea.

When Caroline arrived for her class, she saw Jeffrey waiting for her outside the classroom building.

“Can we talk?” Jeffrey hurriedly walked up to her when he saw her.

Caroline looked at her watch. “You have half an hour.” What she ant was that he should say it quickly if there was anything.

Jeffrey looked around unhappily.

Because of Caroline’s special identity, her every move was watched by many people. For example, many people were secretly sizing them up, as if they were curious about what they were talking about.

“If you don’t mind, can I buy you a cup of coffee?” Jeffrey was a little troubled.

What he wanted to say was not suitable to be announced in public. Coincidentally, there was a coffee shop in their school, and it only took them a few minutes to walk there.

In order to let these young masters and young ladies have a pleasant afternoon tea ti, the design of the coffee shop took into account the privacy of the custors. Therefore, the neighboring seats were relatively far away and separated by green walls, just in line with their private conversation requirents.

“Sure.” Caroline nodded.

The two of them walked to the coffee shop. Jeffrey tried to find a conversation. “Have you found a new lunch break location?”

Caroline nodded and then shook her head. “I’ve been resting in the laboratory building for the past two days. It’s quiet enough there, but the building is often filled with the faint sll of experintal drugs. I don’t like it.”

Jeffrey searched in his mind. “If it’s just for peace and quiet, I can consider going to the art garden.”

Although Alexandria College wasn’t an art school, it had an art specialization. At the sa ti, considering that these young ladies and young masters could cultivate their sentints in their spare ti, they spent a lot of money to build art halls, music halls, and other art buildings.

Jeffrey recomnded a seventh-floor music hall with practice rooms of various sizes for students to study and practice. If students needed to use it, they could make an appointnt on the campus’ official website in advance.

Because there were many practice rooms, students could make an appointnt for half a month at most. In addition, the practice rooms were installed with soundproofing equipnt, so it was very quiet and comfortable to stay in. It was a good place to rest in the afternoon.

“The art garden is still a little too far.” Caroline didn’t say whether she wanted to go or not. She only said that she would consider it and thanked him for his recomndation.

As the two of them chatted, they arrived at the café and asked the waiter to bring them to a relatively secluded corner.

It was the afternoon after school. The students had their own arrangents, so there were not many people in the shop. The coffee they ordered was served very quickly.

Caroline gently stirred the sugar with her spoon and watched it lt in the cup. She was not in a hurry to speak.

Jeffrey clenched the cup of coffee in his hand, which was slightly boiling hot. He hesitated for a while before mustering his courage and said, “Caroline, I want you to do a favor.”

Caroline let go of her hand, and the small spoon made a soft sound on the coffee cup. She quietly withdrew her hand, leaned back in the chair, and looked at him. She didn’t say yes or no, but asked, “What do you want to help you

with?”

Perhaps the most difficult request had been made, but Jeffrey’s next words were much smoother. “You know, there was a fire in the planetarium. The floor I often went to, including everything inside, was burned to ashes..”
