Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Originally, Caroline had some confidence in the Shwell family, but Jeffrey’s little experiment had shattered her past impression.

Perhaps Jeffrey’s actions couldn’t represent the entire Shwell family, but because of this incident, she had to first find out if the Shwell family’s bottom line and conscience were still the same.

This was because many intelligent people would easily become muddle-headed when they were old because of their children and grandchildren. Caroline hoped that the once brave general of the Shwell family would not end up in such a terrible state.

Fortunately, after learning about the cooperation between the two families, Caroline was deeply aware of Edwin’s good intentions. She also learned about Retlin’s attitude toward Jeffrey’s actions.

As the head of the Shwell family, although Retlin doted on Jeffrey a little too much and had his own cunning and scheming ways, he was still a veteran soldier who had truly been baptized by the flames of war. He had his own bottom line.

As for why she had played around with Jeffrey, it was because she wanted to give this audacious brat a taste of his own medicine. She had even mentioned this to Retlin in advance, and he had given her his support.

However, Caroline didn’t expect that Retlin wouldn’t say anything, and Jeffrey would be hit by a wall. He probably really wanted to change this grandson’s personality.

In addition, Caroline had her own reasons for doing so much, but this matter had to be planned slowly in the future.

As for the results of the test, it was obvious that it was quite effective just by looking at Jeffrey’s shocked expression. However, it was unknown whether he had changed his personality a little or if he had gone even further.

After Caroline left the ward, Jeffrey hesitated for a moment before taking out his phone and calling his grandfather.

Originally, he wanted to complain over the phone, but as soon as Retlin picked up the phone, he directly teased, “How was it? This fall was hard enough, right?”

Jeffrey felt wronged. “Grandfather, why?”

He did not understand why his grandfather did this. “Is this your punishment for me?”

“Jeffrey, I’m really disappointed to hear you say that.”

Retlin’s words made Jeffrey’s heart skip a beat. He said anxiously,

“Grandfather…’

“Shh.” Retlin interrupted him. “Jeffrey, you know that we never had high expectations of you, but I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”

“Yes, I know.” Jeffrey was disappointed and unwilling. He suppressed his voice and roared, “But Grandfather, you never asked if this was what I wanted! I’m also a child of the Shwell family. I have the blood of a soldier in my veins! What right do you have to deprive me of my rights?”

Retlin sighed and said, “But your body…”

Jeffrey interrupted him irritably. “I know that my body is not good. I can’t accept high-intensity training and can’t become an excellent soldier. This is the truth. I’ve already accepted this. So in the past few years, I’ve been thinking about how to become a soldier.”

So, he went against his family’s wishes and chose to study biochemistry. He secretly set up a laboratory in the Astronomical Hall and secretly conducted biochemical experiments. His goal was to develop a weapon that could play a huge role on the battlefield.

Retlin was silent for a long time. “But you never told us about this.”

“No, I did, but you all treated it as a child’s angry words. You’ve never faced my needs. I’m someone who was abandoned by the Shwell family.”

Jeffrey’s voice was filled with grievance as he recalled how he had repeatedly mentioned that he wanted to participate in the training like his brothers, but was ignored. He had been treated like an abandoned child and sent out of the Shwell family, living alone in this strange city.

Retlin recalled that when he was young, Jeffrey had indeed mentioned many times that he wanted to participate in the training.

However, little Jeffrey’s body was too weak at that time. He would fall sick from time to time, and he was afraid of being blown away by the wind when he walked.. How could they dare to put this little person on the tough training ground?
