As for why they had sent Jeffrey away from the Shwell family, it was because twenty years ago, there had been a great shock in the military world, and the four great families had all suffered quite a bit of damage. The Pritz family had been the leader, and they had lost their leaders and heirs one after another, causing their vitality to be greatly damaged, and they had almost been eaten clean.

In the end, they spent several years before they finally worked together to quell this storm. Although the matter had been resolved, it still gave Retlin a huge sense of danger.

Although they had worked together to defeat the enemy this time, he knew that the matter had not been completely resolved. Those people who were secretly causing trouble were only temporarily lying low. One day, once they found an opportunity, they would definitely rise up and attack them at any time.

Many of their descendants held positions in the military, and they could not and could not leave. Therefore, they could only continue on this path and constantly increase their strength to protect themselves.

In the end, Retlin set his sights on his only grandson, who had almost never appeared in public because of his illness. They could only hope that if they were defeated one day, the Shwell family would still have one last hope.

Perhaps it was because Jeffrey was sick, but he had always been very obedient and sensible since he was young. Thus, Ratlin thought that he should be able to understand the good intentions of his family and neglected to communicate with him more, causing him to have such a misunderstanding and thus raising his personality to be crooked.

After reflecting on his own mistake, Retlin could not bring himself to blame him. He could only sigh. “I neglected you. I should have discussed these things with you more. Jeffrey, you just need to remember one thing. The Shwell family will not give up on any family member for no reason. In my heart, you and your brothers and sisters are the same.”

Jeffrey’s eyes reddened at the belated confirmation.

He covered his eyes with the blanket, not wanting his grandfather to know that he was crying. After all, he was no longer a child. It was too embarrassing to cry because of a sentence.

However, Jeffrey’s long silence made Retlin more or less guess what was going on. He didn’t expose the matter and instead said, “I now understand why you want to be a soldier, but the army is very realistic. Your physical condition is here, and this is something that can’t be changed. I think you’re right to want to take a different approach, but you definitely can’t do it in a cruel way like biochemical experiments.”

Jeffrey had calmed down by now, and the obsession in his heart had dissipated quite a bit, so he was able to listen to his advice.

However, after the conversation that had just happened, he looked a little awkward. “I understand. I’ll stop the experiments.”

Seeing that Jeffrey was no longer like a hedgehog, Retlin heaved a sigh of relief. “You’ve been played like a fool this time, haven’t you?”

Jeffrey’s face burned when he heard this. He had to admit that he had underestimated the enemy. He looked down on the Anderson family, and looked down on Caroline. That was why he had arrogantly thought that everything would go according to his expectations. He had never thought that a hunter like him would become someone else’s prey.

“I won’t be so careless next time,” he said unwillingly.

Hearing this, Retlin felt that the test this time was very effective. He asked Jeffrey, “From your point of view, tell me about Caroline. What kind of person do you think she is?”

Jeffrey blurted out, “Very scheming. Her acting skills are not bad.”

At the very least, from the moment Caroline appeared at the planetarium, Jeffrey had not been able to find any flaws in her despite his intuition that there was something wrong with her. This had led him to doubt his judgment many times.

Retlin replied softly, “What else?”

Jeffrey frowned and pondered for a moment. He hesitated, then said, “There are a lot of contradictions about her. I can’t determine which side of her is the real her.”

Originally, he thought that Caroline was no different from other girls of the same age, with a little innocence, kindness, and ignorance. That was why he appeared in front of her as a ‘bullied’ victim.

Later, it turned out that Caroline was not naiVe and kind. She was very experienced, decisive, and even cunning. Just as he thought so, Caroline showed her kind side again when Sonia was kidnapped.

However, he quickly overthrew this conclusion because Caroline should have guessed what experiments he was doing.

Although Jeffrey didn’t think that this was a big deal, he knew that many people in the world couldn’t accept this, even his grandfather, who was used to seeing blood on the battlefield..
