Chapter 458 X Institute
Cunning rabbits have three caves, and there were more than one institute run by Benjamin.
The previous one in F Country was an ostensible stronghold; this one was set up by him using Jason, who seemed to have little to do with him.
However, none of these institutes hold the most central research.
The really important research was actually at one of the most deeply hidden institutes under his name, the X Institute.
The institute did not sound well known, and many people had not even heard of it.
This was the effect Benjamin wanted.
He didn’t want his most important stronghold to be the target of attention, and if he was going to carry out something that couldn’t be shown, it was better to keep it under wraps.
And this institute, for its part, had provided him with excellent facilities.
Because no one cared about this institute, whatever he did in this institute, it did not attract attention.
In that way, he could unwittingly order those dark deals of his to be done!
At that moment, Jason hesitated, “Boss, isn’t it a bit risky for you to take Miss Harold there?”
“Risky?” Benjamin was unimpressed, “It’s okay.”
“But …… if anything leaks out, then there’s a good chance that all this that you’ve worked so hard on will be exposed for all to see ……”
Benjamin remained unconcerned, and did not even think about the possibility at all.
“How can that be? Who would leak it out? Are you worried about Ruby? You forget that she has lost her memory, and even if I appear in front of her, she may not remember the things I once did to her, and will only see me as a good friend from the past, not be on her guard against me.”
Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes, a shrewd glint in his pupils and a somewhat sinister curve of his mouth.
“As soon as she follows me to the X Institute, she’s completely under my control, and if she wants to escape, it’s completely impossible!”
“But what if Levi wants to follow her in?” Jason was still worried.
The tip of Benjamin’s tongue tipped towards his palate, “We definitely can’t let him in, I’ll leave this to you, find a random reason to stop him outside and tell him that if he wants Ruby to get better, he has to wait outside obediently.”
With that, he glanced at the clock and ran out of patience.
“Do whatever you want, I just want the results I want to see, I’ll be moving to fly over right away, inform the X Institute and all get ready.”
Jason saw that his mind was made up and knew that anything else he said would be useless, so he responded, “…… yes.”
But after he hung up, he was still a bit torn up, feeling very uncomfortable and uneasy, as if something big was about to happen.
……
As soon as Ruby and Levi entered the dinning room, they saw Hallie sitting by the window and waved at the two of them.
Although this was an institute, it was not white and cold like many institutes, on the contrary, everything here was like from a fancy hotel.
Whether it was the suites upstairs, the décor and furnishings of the various corridors, or even the dining room, they all displayed a sense of luxury.
It was no exaggeration to say that the Institute’s dinning room was comparable to a five-star hotel in the country.
Ruby’s gaze roamed around the corners of the dinning room, her thin eyebrows raised slightly.
This institute had taken on a lot of big orders and made a lot of money by selling potions backwards, so this level of luxury was just a dime a dozen.
At that moment, she put up a faint smile and walked over to sit down with Levi.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I’m sorry it took a while to change and keep you waiting.”
Hallie waved her hand, “It’s okay, I went back to my room too and just arrived.”
The three of them ordered their food and in no time the meal was all brought up and the three of them chatted as they ate.
Most of the time it was actually Hallie who was talking and Ruby listened. As for Levi, he was completely like an invisible person, not saying a word and no one cared about him.
“I hear that you have lost her memory, Miss Harold?” Hallie inquired motionlessly, as if curious.
Ruby smiled, “Well, I lost part of my memory, I don’t know what caused it, and I have searched all over the country for good doctors, but there is just no cure, so my husband brought me to this institute, saying that there is a possibility of a cure.”
“Oh, so… ……” Hallie nodded with understanding, then her eyes glanced towards Levi, her heart sour.
This woman was really lucky, not only could she charm Benjamin around, but she also had such a quality man around her to shield her and protect her, spoiling her and loving her.
It was just a matter of losing some memories and he made a big deal of accompanying her all the way here for treatment.
She was pretty jealous!
Of course, she didn’t show this jealousy, pretending to smile as if nothing had happened: “You’re lucky to have such a reliable and responsible husband with you.”
“Yes, I am indeed quite lucky.” Ruby ladled the soup, “Not only do I have such a good husband, but I also have some very close friends.”
At these words, Hallie’s eyes twitched slightly, and her hand tightened unconsciously around her chopsticks for a moment.
This small movement did not escape Ruby’s eyes. Immediately, the end of her eyes raised slightly and she continued slowly and deliberately.
“I wonder if you would like to return to your home country.”
Hallie gritted her teeth as a wave of resentment welled up in her heart.
She wanted to go back home so badly!
But Benjamin had sent her here and forbade her to leave, so what could she do?
She was determined to become Benjamin’s woman, so naturally she did not dare to disobey him for fear that if she annoyed him, she would not have even the slightest chance.
At that moment, she set her mind, not letting her expression show, and replied with a forced smile, as if she didn’t care.
“It’s okay, at first I would miss my home country, but after being in Y Country for a long time, I’m slowly getting used to it, getting used to being alone, getting used to the pace and life here.”
“Oh? Is that so?” Ruby gave a smile, “Then you’re quite independent, by the way, Miss Hallie, are you also a researcher in this institute?”
Hallie blinked, “Not really a researcher, I’d say a clerk at the Institute.”
“I see.” Ruby nodded and did not pursue the matter further.
Hallie took advantage of the situation and turned to her, “Miss Harold, have you ever lived in the capital?”
