Ruby furrowed her eyebrows, “Why do you ask?”.

Hallie smiled, “I’m from the capital. Sometimes when I hear you talk I notice the capital accent, it’s weird, but I can still hear a bit of it, so I’m curious to know… Have you lived in the capital for a while?”

Ruby didn’t have the feeling that she spoke with any accent from the capital, but since Hallie said so, naturally she couldn’t question anything.

At that point, she nodded her head and politely admitted, “Well, I did live in the capital for a few years when I was a child.”

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 to now.”

At these words, Hallie’s eyes twinkled slightly, and a flash of shrewdness flashed.

“Is that so? Then, in that case, perhaps there is an overlap in the friends we know, the capital is not too big, but the circle is really small.”

Ruby understood that he was trying to goad her into naming some people, but she preferred not to say anything and only replied vaguely, “Yes.”

Hallie was still waiting for Ruby to say something else, when Ruby stopped talking, she froze for a moment, not knowing how to continue.

At that moment, as if remembering something, Levi suddenly mentioned something.

“By the way, before coming to Country Y, Layton and Benjamin said they wanted to come to see you, but I saw that time was pressing too much, so I didn’t let them come, thinking that we would meet after we got back.”

When she finally heard Benjamin’s name, Hallie’s eyes lit up. She took the opportunity to ask, “Benjamin? Is that Benjamin Hayes from the capital?”

As soon as they saw her reaction, both Ruby’s and Levi’s eyes changed, very subtly, without giving anything away.

At that moment, Ruby curved her lips and nodded as if it were second nature.

“Yeah, Benjamin is kind of an old friend I grew up with, very close, why, you know him too?”.

Hallie sketched a shy smile as she reached this point, “I know him, but we may not be as close as you guys, I…”

As she said this, she bit the corner of her lip and actually showed some shyness.

Seeing this, the suspicion in Ruby’s heart was answered, and she secretly wanted to laugh.

Hallie, who looked shrewd, was actually quite an idiot.

She couldn’t believe that this sideways method made her take the initiative to show her heart for Benjamin, she was really stupid.

At that moment, she did not reveal anything.

“Miss Hallie, do you like Benjamin?”

Hallie was waiting for her to ask, and immediately nodded shyly, her cheeks flushed.

“Well… I’ve been pursuing him, but it’s still an unknown if it will work.”

Then, her eyes twinkled at Ruby and her voice carried a hint of anticipation,

“Miss Harold, since you and Benjamin are such good friends, can you help me?”

“Help? How can I help?” asked Ruby.

Hallie blinked, “If you know Benjamin well, you can put in a good word for me or create some opportunities, anything to bring me closer to him.”

Ruby looked her in the eye for a moment before nodding, “Okay, if there are any opportunities, I’ll help you.”

After a while, the three of them parted ways.

Ruby and Levi returned to their suite on the top floor and, just as they entered, couldn’t help but smile.

“I originally thought this Hallie would be a manipulator, but she’s outside my expectations.”

Ruby said as she laughed, her cheeks were almost stiff with laughter.

Levi raised his eyebrows, “I was pretty surprised too, I didn’t expect her to take the bait so eagerly as soon as she heard Benjamin’s name.”

Ruby sat back on the couch with lazy posture, thought for a moment and asked, “You said he was aware of all the things Benjamin was doing?”

…

In the afternoon, Jason invited them both into his office.

Levi took it in stride and continued to look very concerned, “How’s it going, did anything come out of the discussion?”

Jason gave him a slightly peaceful look and gestured for him to sit down first, pouring them both a glass of water before sighing.

“Mistress Finn’s situation is more complicated than we thought, so far nothing can be analyzed from the data, we’ve been meeting all morning to discuss it, but we haven’t been able to come to a reasonable outcome.”

Hearing this, Levi frowned, “How can that be? So, how should we deal with Ruby’s condition?”.

“Mr. Finn, take your time and listen to what I have to tell you.”

Jason reassured him, then his eyes flicked between him and Ruby, as if reflecting for a moment before organizing his words.

“I’m afraid that, with our capabilities at this institute, we can’t resolve Mistress 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 bright aura in unison.
