Chapter 250: Shelter

Hearing Jeffrey’s words, Caroline raised her eyebrows.
It had to be said that Jeffrey had a good grasp of the human heart. If the person standing in front of him was Caroline, who had been bullied since she was young, his method might really be effective.
Unfortunately, that was then and that was now. The current Caroline was not someone who could be fooled by such a small trick.
Originally, Caroline only wanted to get to know Jeffrey and gain his trust, so that she could find an opportunity to contact his grandfather and see if she could find an opportunity to work together.
According to the information she got from Will Sr., this young master seemed to be secretly doing some small research using the secrecy of the planetarium.
Caroline wasn’t very interested in this small research before, but seeing how Jeffrey was willing to spend so much money just because he suspected her motive for entering the planetarium, Caroline couldn’t help but wonder what he was researching that made him so afraid of being seen.
Because of this plan, Caroline, who originally wanted to reject him, immediately changed her mind and agreed to his request. “Since we know each other, I can help you, but I don’t need your things.”
She pushed the jewelry back.
Her rejection didn’t surprise Jeffrey, so he said, “This is my thank-you gift to you. Since you’re unwilling to accept it, I can only take them to the charity sale and donate them in your name.”
Doing charity was another small trick to cater to Caroline.
Unfortunately, Caroline was not willing to do so. “This is yours. You can do whatever you want with it.”
“I’m not someone who likes trouble, so don’t expect me to help you solve your problems.”
“I don’t need you to do anything for me,” Jeffrey quickly promised. “All I need is protection.”
Thus, Jeffrey followed Caroline into class in the afternoon.
Jeffrey didn’t have a high sense of presence in school. Others had been promoted from elementary school to university, and Jeffrey had transferred to their high school department when he was in high school, so there were quite a few people who knew him.
Everyone was surprised to see him and Caroline together. After all, Jeffrey’s major wasn’t medicine, but biochemistry.
Julie, who was about to walk forward with a report, suddenly stopped. When she saw Caroline and Jeffrey sitting together, a hint of confusion and hurt flashed across her eyes.
Andy quickly pulled her back to her seat.
“Did Caroline make a new friend?” Julie sounded a little disappointed.
Andy thought about what happened last night and glanced at Jeffrey, trying to guess his identity.
If her guess was right, then Caroline would not shy away from getting close to Jeffrey. Did this mean that Jeffrey’s identity was not simple?
Andy wanted to tell Julie about these complicated matters. She comforted Julie, “Maybe. Maybe she’d rather be friends with a boy like Jeffrey than us?”
Julie thought for a moment and guessed softly, “Is it because Caroline has been bullied by girls before, so she has a shadow in her friendship with girls and is unwilling to trust us?”
Andy didn’t expect her to think of this, so she said vaguely, “Who knows?”
Julie nodded and didn’t say anything, but she had already confirmed this guess in her heart. She wondered if she should be more patient and persistent to let Caroline see their sincerity.
Julie weighed the report in her hand.
The report was Caroline’s. They had just seen it when they went to the office, so she volunteered to tell the teacher that she could help pass the report to Caroline.
The teacher saw that someone could help, so she was naturally happy to see it happen, so she gave the report to Julie.
When Caroline entered the classroom, Julie was supposed to hand her the report and greet her, inviting her to participate in the upcoming club activities. But Jeffrey’s sudden appearance disrupted her plans.
Julie decided to wait until after class and continue with the original plan.
As for her plan, Julie didn’t intend to share it with Andy this time because she could already tell that Andy didn’t like Caroline and even rejected her contact with Caroline..
