Chapter 248: Envy
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The blond man did not want to be so embarrassed, so he wanted to do something to save his face. However, just as he raised his hand and was about to say something, his two subordinates thought that he was really going to make a move. The two of them immediately carried him and ran away in a hurry.
“Hey, what are you two doing? You’re courting death!”
The three of them walked far away. The yellow-haired man broke free from their hands and slapped each of their heads. “It’s just a woman. Did she scare you with just one sentence? I was just about to retaliate, but you guys carried me away like this. If word gets out, won’t you embarrass me?”
His two subordinates looked at each other and thought to themselves, ‘You’re still going to fight back? Just that leg of yours was secretly shaking like that.
Who are you trying to fool?’
Of course, they would not expose this on the surface. After all, although the yellow-haired man was a little silly, he was rich and loyal. He could be considered their good brother.
Therefore, the two of them coaxed him, “Brother, this is Caroline. Of course, you don’t have to be afraid. After all, you’re so powerful. Not to mention Caroline, you don’t even have to worry about the Anderson family. But we can’t do it. You know that our families are just small fries in front of the Anderson family. If I cause trouble for my family, my father will definitely break my legs.”
After listening to their explanation, the yellow-haired man felt that his face was acceptable, so he used the slope to let go of the matter and began to talk about the person they had just bullied.
“Hey, do you think Jeffrey, that brat, got involved with Caroline because of this?” The yellow-haired man’s tone carried a hint of sourness that he did not notice.
The two lackeys did not find it strange. They were also a little envious. Now, who did not know that Young Master Anderson valued his fiancée very much? If they could befriend Caroline, they might be able to build a relationship with Young Master Anderson.
Because of this, many people in the school wanted to have a relationship with Caroline. Unfortunately, Caroline didn’t come to school many times since she got engaged.
Recently, she came to school more often, but she was quite cold and used to being alone, making it difficult for people to get close to her.
As for the students in the school, they were still young. Although everyone wanted to curry favor with her, they could not bring themselves to do so. Not to mention that there were many people who had directly or indirectly participated in bullying Caroline, or turned a blind eye to her tragic situation, or even ignored it. Now, they did not dare to be thick-skinned and approach her.
Therefore, Caroline was able to maintain a quiet life of studying for so many days not because no one tried to get close to her, but because those people could not find a way for the time being.
Everyone was watching to see who would be the first to succeed.
“Speaking of which, why is Jeffrey so lucky?” One of the lackeys pursed his lips and looked a little unconvinced. “Not only did he get such a difficult ticket, but
Caroline appeared just as we started.”
The tickets he was talking about were tickets to a certain game theme park. The three of them were loyal fans of that game. After hearing that the park was about to open, they had always wanted to go. Unfortunately, the tickets were too popular, and the three of them could not get a single ticket.
Although they did bully their classmates on a daily basis, they were at most just small squabbles. They weren’t school bullies, and they weren’t familiar with Jeffrey.
This time, Jeffrey had accidentally managed to get three tickets, which was why they had managed to stop him.
They hadn’t thought of snatching the tickets from Jeffrey at first. They had only wanted to see if they could buy the tickets from him. But they hadn’t expected that Jeffrey, who looked gentle and thin on the outside, would have such a venomous mouth. Not only was he unwilling to sell, but he had also thrown a string of words at them, making them so angry that they wanted to fight.
“Tsk, I think that kid might have done it on purpose,” the blond boy muttered casually. He probably didn’t expect to guess the truth.
That was right, Jeffrey had deliberately created this scene.
In an attempt to find out the truth about Caroline’s visit to the Astronomical Hall, Jeffrey deliberately installed a small surveillance camera in the audio visual room after Caroline left. It turned out that Caroline was really taking a nap inside.
However, his intuition told him that things weren’t that simple, so he wanted to find another opportunity to get in touch with Caroline.
For this reason, he went back and specially studied Caroline’s deeds, thus formulating a special plan..
