Chapter 459 Counter-testing
Ruby raised her eyebrows, "Why do you ask that?"
Hallie smiled, "I'm from the capital, and I hear you speak with an occasional capital accent, it's rare, but
I can still hear a bit of it, so I'm curious if you've lived in the capital for a while?"
Ruby did not feel that she spoke with any capital accent, but since Hallie said so, she naturally could
not question anything.
At that moment, she nodded and graciously admitted, "Well, I did live in the capital for a few years Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
when I was a child, and then I spent a few years there when I grew up."
Then, with a slight flash of her eyes, she threw out a bait, adding, "During those years in the capital, I
did make many friends in the capital, from childhood playmates until now."
At these words, Hallie's eyes gleamed slightly, and a shrewd glint flashed through.
"Is that so? Then in that case, maybe there's an overlap in the friends we know, the capital is not too
big, but the circle is really small."
Ruby understood that she was trying to entice herself to name some people, but she preferred not to
say anything, and only responded vaguely, "Yes."
Hallie was still waiting for Ruby to say more, and when Ruby stopped talking, she froze for a moment,
not knowing how to proceed.
At this point, as if remembering something, Levi suddenly mentioned something.
"By the way, before coming to Y Country, Layton and Benjamin both said they wanted to come and see
you, but I saw that time was too tight, so I didn't let them come, thinking that we would get together
after we return."
When she finally heard the name "Benjamin", Hallie's eyes lit up and she seized the opportunity to ask,
"Benjamin? Is it Benjamin Hayes in the capital?"
As soon as they saw her reaction, both Ruby and Levi's eyes changed, very subtly, without revealing
anything.
At that moment, Ruby curled her lips and nodded as if it were natural.
"Yeah, Benjamin is kind of an old friend that I grew up with, very close, why, do you know him too?"
Hallie gave a coy smile at this point, "I know him, but we may not be as close as your, I ......"
When she said this, she bit the corner of her lip and actually showed bit of a shy look.
Seeing this, the suspicion in Ruby's heart was answered, and she secretly wanted to laugh.
Hallie, who looked like shrewd, was actually quite an idiot.
She couldn’t believe this sideways method made her take the initiative to show her heart for Benjamin,
she was really stupid.
Hallie didn't think she was an imaginary enemy, did she? Thinking she was going to steal Benjamin
from her?
What a thought.
At that moment, she didn't reveal anything.
"Miss Hallie, do you like Benjamin?"
Hallie was waiting for her to ask, and at once nodded coyly, her cheeks flushed.
"Well ...... I have been chasing him, but it's still an open question as to whether it will work."
Then, her eyes shone brightly at Ruby and her voice carried a bit of expectation, "Miss Harold, since
you and Benjamin are such good friends, can you help me?"
"Help? How can I help?" Ruby asked.
Hallie blinked, "If you can meet Benjamin, put in a good word for me, or create some opportunities for
me, whatever it takes to bring me closer to him."
Ruby looked into her eyes for a moment before nodding, "Okay, if there is a chance, I will help you."
After a while, the three parted ways.
Ruby and Levi made their way back to their suite on the top floor, and only when they entered, they
could not help but smile at each other.
"Originally I thought this Hallie would be scheming, it is out of my expectation."
Ruby said while laughing, her cheeks were almost stiff with laughter.
Levi raised his eyebrows, "I was quite surprised too, I didn't expect her to be so eager to take the bait
as soon as she heard Benjamin's name."
Ruby sat in the sofa with a lazy posture, thought for a moment and asked, "You said that she was
aware of all the things Benjamin did?"
Levi walked over and sat down beside her, pondering for a moment, a few thoughts surfacing in his
eyes.
"Maybe partly informed, or maybe all of them. I reckon that the reason she is here is because Benjamin
arranged it, and since Benjamin dared to leave her here, it means that there are some things that he
did not intend to hide from her. Moreover, this woman actually managed to find you here, and she
knows that you have lived in the capital before, which means that she has investigated you and treated
you as an imaginary enemy."
Ruby nodded, "Well, that should be the case, but being so 'clever' as she was, she let us test it out
instead. It seems that the mastermind behind this institute must be Benjamin, and Jason is also being
manipulated by Benjamin."
"Indeed." Levi nodded, then asked her, "So what do we do next?"
Ruby’s beautiful eyes narrowed, the corners of her mouth curled up in a sneer: "Wait and see, as long
as my condition is not found out, he will be worried. Now although he is still shrinking in the back and
not coming out, sooner or later, he will not be able to resist popping up himself, and he thinks that I
have lost the memory of being blackmailed at that time, so he will not scorn anything. "
......
In the afternoon, Jason invited them both into his office.
Levi took it in stride and continued to act very worried and nervous: "How is it? Did anything come out
of the discussion?"
Jason gave him a slightly peaceful look and gestured for him to sit down first, pouring the two a glass of
water before sighing.
"Mrs. Finn's situation is more complicated than we thought, nothing can be analysed from the data so
far, and we've been meeting all morning to discuss it, but we haven't been able to come up with a
reasonable result."
Hearing this, Levi's brow furrowed: "How can this be? Then how should we treat the condition of
Ruby?"
"Mr. Finn, take your time and listen to what I have to tell you."
Jason reassured him, then his eyes darted between him and Ruby, as if pondering for a moment before
organising his words.
"It's like this, at the moment, I'm afraid that with our ability in this institute, we can't solve Mrs. Finn's
condition, but you two don't have to worry too much, I've already contacted another institute for you
two."
"Another institute?" At these words, both Levi's and Ruby's eyes flashed a brilliant aura in unison.
