After Her Engagement Annulled, the Weak Rich Daughter Becomes a Big Shot!

Caroline chuckled when she heard Jeffrey’s words. “Why? It’s been a few days, and you’re only feeling sorry now?”

“You’re right. My heart does ache.” Jeffrey looked down at the white foam on the coffee cup. “But I’m more concerned about the cause of the fire, and that’s what I want you to help me.”

Caroline pretended to be surprised and raised her eyebrows. “Didn’t the police report that the fire was caused by a faulty circuit? Did you notice something wrong?”

Although Jeffrey hadn’t met her gaze, he had been observing her reaction from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that she really didn’t Imow anything, he couldn’t tell if she really didn’t know or if she was pretending.

However, since he had already come to probe, he definitely could not give up halfway.

“I did find something wrong. I suspect that this fire was not an accident, but man-made. If it was man-made, I was afraid that the person who set the fire was targeting me. After all, they wanted to set the fire. There were so many places to choose from, but they chose the top floor of the planetarium. This made me very uneasy.” Jeffrey pretended to be worried. “So I want to borrow your power to help me investigate the fire again.”

Caroline found his request a little funny. Jeffrey actually asked an arsonist like her to investigate the cause of the fire. In a sense, he had found the right person.

No, perhaps he did not find the right person for her, but was looking for her on purpose? Just to test her?

Caroline’s face showed some displeasure. “You’re not asking me for help, but you’re actually asking the Anderson family for help, right?”

“After all, this is the Anderson family’s territory. Only their family has the strength to investigate this matter.” Jeffrey didn’t deny this. He looked up at Caroline, his eyes sharp.

This was the first time Jeffrey had revealed some of his true nature in front of

Caroline. In just a moment, the aura he exuded made him stand out from his

usual orumary temperament.

Caroline didn’t seem to notice the change in her body. She lowered her head and took a sip of coffee. She frowned and snorted impolitely. ‘You’re quite frank.”

She put the coffee back on the table. She used a little more force, and the bottom of the cup collided with the bottom plate, making a loud sound. It was not loud, but in a quiet environment, it was a little ear-piercing.

This meant that Caroline was angry because of what he had just said.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you.” Jeffrey had just retracted his sharp aura, but he had turned back into an obedient and honest man as he apologized to her. “I really can’t think of a more suitable candidate than the Anderson family. I can’t contact Young Master Anderson on my own, so I can only ask you.”

“I can’t deny that you’re telling the truth. As a down-and-out daughter who was cut off by her father, I really don’t have the ability to help you.” Caroline sounded aggrieved. “But it still makes me feel uncomfortable to be pointed out so bluntly.”

She picked up her bag and stood up. “If your guess is true, I’m also very curious about who’s hiding in the dark. Since we know each other, I can help you pass a message, but I can’t guarantee that it will be done.”

Caroline maintained her pride as the daughter of the Lambert family, so she left the coffee shop without looking back.

“No matter what the result is, I still have to thank you.” Jeffrey stood up and chased after her. He only returned to his seat when he saw Caroline leave the coffee shop. He moved the frothing cappuccino away in disgust and called the waiter over again. “Give me a cup of black coffee.”

He took out a laptop from his bag and clicked on the planetarium’s surveillance camera on the night of the fire. He pulled the progress bar and watched the problematic video several times.

Even many professionals couldn’t find the problem. Jeffrey naturally didn’t think that a layman like him would be able to find any clues from this surveillance video. His goal was to extract the video.

Since his grandfather did not allow him to investigate further, he spent a lot of money to find a hacker who was said to be quite skilled. He wanted to send the surveillance video to see if the other party could restore it..
