Chapter 688 Not Only Lacking, But Severely Lacking
Originally, this incident had already given Jeffery a bad impression of his superior. Recently, Jeffery had been slacking off in training, and several thousand dollars had gone missing from their dormitory. All the evidence pointed to Jeffery as the thief. Moreover, the person who accused him was relentless, determined to bring Jeffery down, and even spread rumors about Jeffery stealing papers at school. A thief who had stolen before would obviously not change in the future. The accuser also revealed that Jeffery's mother worked as a maid, implying that Jeffery came from a poor background.
No one knew that Maya worked at the Donovan household and didn't care about the money. They all believed that being a nanny meant the family couldn't be well-off and were considered lower class.
Jeffery beat that person up badly, but the person had provoked Jeffery into making a mistake.
Accumulating several incidents, Jeffery was eventually expelled from the military.
Jeffery's reputation at Pearl Peak University had already been ruined due to "stealing papers," and now he was expelled from the military for "conduct issues" and "stealing money." Jeffery felt extremely unhappy. He believed his character was fine, but he always encountered malicious people, losing both his educational and military opportunities.
However, Jeffery didn't dare to tell his family about being expelled from the military, fearing they would make a fuss. So, he rented a house in the suburbs of Maple Valley and prepared to look for a job.
At this moment, his floor was littered with cigarette butts. He was shirtless, smoking. With only a bachelor's degree, finding a job was difficult.
Barbara noticed that Jeffery hadn't replied to her messages, so she called him.
Jeffery already had a poor impression of Barbara and didn't want to answer, but Barbara kept calling persistently.
Reluctantly, Jeffery answered.
"Jeffery, I'm at the gate of your camp now. Can you come out? I bought a lot of things," Barbara said softly, her coquettish voice making Jeffery feel irritated.
"I'm not in the military anymore," Jeffery replied impatiently, ready to hang up the phone.
"Where are you then?" Barbara asked, surprised.
Jeffery didn't want to answer, but he remembered that Barbara had once kidnapped Francis and found her terrifying. If he didn't tell her, who knew what she might do? So, he softened his tone, "At home. I'll send you the location."
After speaking, Jeffery sent his address to Barbara.
Barbara looked at the address, feeling very surprised. She thought, 'Why is Jeffery's home here?'
Nevertheless, she took a cab to Jeffery's place, and Jeffery opened the door for her.
As soon as she entered, Barbara smelled a strong, choking smoke. She coughed and waved away the smoke in front of her.
She placed the things she brought for Jeffery by the door and looked around his place, seeing cigarette butts all over the floor and instant food on the table.
Barbara didn't know what had happened to Jeffery, but he seemed very depressed.
Barbara had acted in many TV dramas and understood men's hearts. She knew that if you helped a man when he was most helpless, he would be very grateful to you.
With this in mind, Barbara didn't ask any questions. She went straight to the kitchen and cooked a bowl of spaghetti for Jeffery, using the last egg and a piece of bok choy from the fridge. Then, she brought the fragrant noodles to him.
She had originally thought that Jeffery, being in the military, wouldn't lack food. But now it seemed he was not just lacking, but severely lacking.
