Chapter 308: Wake Up

What the Shwell family lacked the most was not fame, status, wealth, or power, but stability.

This stability could be the stability of many things, such as stabilizing their current status and reputation, and stabilizing everything in the hands of the Shwell family.

Caroline gave Retlin such a guarantee.

“Miss Caroline, does Mr. Edwin know about this? I wonder if Mr. Edwin, or rather, the Anderson family, will cooperate in such an important plan?” Although Retlin was asking Caroline, his eyes were fixed on Edwin.

“Mr. Retlin, this is a deal between you and me. If you want to cooperate with the Anderson family, you can ask him directly.” Caroline pointed at Edwin beside her.

“I’m very glad that Mr. Retlin has the intention to cooperate with us, but the most important thing at the moment is Caroline,” said Edwin, smiling. He didn’t explicitly refuse to cooperate, but he didn’t agree either.

Retlin didn’t care at all. He was just casually mentioning it.

With Edwin and Caroline’s relationship, it was normal for the Anderson family to stand on Caroline’s side.

And he had once investigated a certain matter. It seemed that a long time ago, when Edwin had met with an accident, it had been Luo Ling Pritz who had saved him.

Thus, it was reasonable for Edwin to have the Anderson Clan take action against Caroline Lambert or Luo Ling Pritz.

He felt that it was not a bad feeling to take the opportunity to talk about cooperation with the Anderson family.

After Retlin returned home and announced his decision, Jeffrey was extremely surprised.

“Grandfather, are you serious? Do you really want to cooperate with that woman?” Jeffrey asked.

Retlin did not answer. Instead, he asked him, “What do you think is the benefit of working with her? What are the disadvantages?”

Jeffrey thought for a moment. “Cooperation is just icing on the cake. If we lose, we’ll be outlaws.”

“Haha!” Retlin could not help but laugh when he heard his analogy. “So that’s what you think.”

After Retlin shared his thoughts with him, Jeffrey was stunned.

“Grandfather, is what you said true?” Jeffrey asked.

He didn’t expect that the seemingly glorious Shwell family would actually need such a simple thing.

He had always thought that his grandfather was a very powerful and strong person, but he did not expect that what his grandfather wanted was the word ‘stability’.

“Grandfather, do I need to do anything?” Jeffrey asked. “Go to her side and act together with her,” Retlin said.

Jeffrey was stunned. He couldn’t believe it.

Wasn’t his grandfather always worried about his health? Why would he let him go out at such an important juncture? He still went to Luo Ling Pritz’s side.

At this moment, the most dangerous place was probably beside Luo Ling Pritz.

Retlin saw his confusion and explained, “Jeffrey, have you heard of an old Chinese saying? The most dangerous place was the safest place.”

In other words, only by staying by Caroline’s side could he ensure his safety.

When Caroline chatted with him today, she gave him a reminder.

Caroline was very powerful. She could immediately guess that the person she had captured was a fake Jeffrey and knew where the real Jeffrey was.

Those few families were able to fight against Luo Ling Pritz, so they naturally weren’t ordinary people.

He didn’t think he could protect his beloved grandson 24 hours a day, but if he secretly sent Jeffrey to Caroline’s side, it would be different.

First of all, the Shwell family could block some of the danger. Even if they found out that Jeffrey wasn’t in the Shwell family, they wouldn’t be able to guess that Jeffrey was with Caroline.

After all, in the eyes of those people, the Shwell family was very arrogant. They believed that they had the ability to protect Jeffrey and would not place Jeffrey outside of the Shwell family.

Of course, there was nothing wrong with doing this.

The worst thing was that the Shwell family would attract half of the anger. This half of the anger was unnecessary for them. If they didn’t cooperate, they wouldn’t have to bear all this..
