Omnipotent Mrs. Finn

Chapter 463 Acting

Hallie had never heard Benjamin say such harsh words to her before, and immediately froze, her eyes

full of disbelief.

"I am just concerned about you and worried about you getting hurt, how do you ......"

At once, her eyes were red and overflowed with tears, as if she was hurt.

Yet Benjamin was oblivious to this, or saw it but didn't give it a second thought.

"Don't need your concern." At that moment, he retorted nonchalantly, followed by a warning.

"Hallie, I think I made it very clear last time, our relationship was broken off a long time ago. I think you

should understand what it means. You refused to leave me, then I gave you this place to settle down

and let you stay here, it is a kind of compensation for you, but only if you are at peace with yourself, do

you understand?" Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Hallie was completely dumbfounded.

She didn't expect him to be so desperate, not even leaving herself the slightest room for error.

She had thought that she would be able to use this opportunity of his presence to behave well and try

to get him to take her back home and stay with her.

Yet now it was all a delusion, and there was no more possibility between them.

"Can I ask why? Why do you just refuse to accept me? Why won't you just keep me around? What am I

not doing well enough?"

At that moment, she asked him with teary eyes and pity.

However, this question was ultimately left unanswered.

Benjamin only gave her a cold look and said nothing as he turned to leave.

Looking at the man's determined back, Hallie felt cold for the first time, so cold from her heart to her

body.

It was all because of Ruby! What was so good about Ruby! Hallie tightened her grip on the hand in

jealousy.

And what she didn't expect was that Benjamin's desperation even called for her to be thrown out.

Hallie left the Institute with a grimace on her face.

This scene fell right into Ruby's eyes.

She raised her eyebrows and curled her lips into a smile.

Back in the suite, she told Levi about it.

Levi responded: "It must be that Benjamin knew that Hallie was contacting you in private, so he got

angry and kick her away."

Ruby was thinking the same thing, and just as the two were talking, there was a sudden knock on the

door of the room.

Both they stared at each other, the door to the room opened and it was Jason, saying he wanted to

take Ruby away. A chill flashed in Ruby’s eyes and she smiled, nodding as if she knew nothing.

Jason was accompanied by the head of the X Institute, Mr. Lincoln, in a fairly polite manner.

When Ruby was taken to the car, Levi subconsciously took Ruby's hand, his eyes glanced at the ring

between her fingers, and warmly admonished, "When you arrive there, you must contact me at any

time, call me if there is anything wrong, understand?"

At the sound of her words, Ruby smiled.

"Why are you getting more and more verbose now? You are still so young and you're acting like an old

man."

Levi pinched her nose, quite displeased.

"I'm nagging because I'm worried about you, if I could go with you there, would be no need to be so

anxious."

Saying that, he looked at Lincoln with a hesitant expression.

"Mr. Lincoln, is it true that I can't go along with her? I can promise that I won't say anything I see and

will never reveal half the secrets of your institute, I just want to follow my wife, to accompany her and

take care of her, after all, she is going over there for treatment and I can't always feel at ease if I don't

accompany her."

"Well......" Lincoln blushed with embarrassment, "I am really very sorry, Mr. Finn, our institute must

require absolute confidentiality, generally speaking, it is not allowed any outsiders to enter or leave

casually. This time, in order to save Mrs. Finn, it is already a precedent broken ......"

Levi's face sank, but he didn't say anything else after all. Ruby got into the car.

After that, he seemed to be in little mood and went straight upstairs.

Jason kept watching his back as he disappeared into the lift and when he returned to his office, the first

thing he did was to call Benjamin to report the situation on his side.

Benjamin on the phone kept asking if Ruby was in the car, but was relieved to find out that Levi was not

suspicious.

Some time after Ruby got into the car, Lincoln handed over a black ribbon to her.

If she was blindfolded, she could not see the way to the Institute, so Ruby would not know where the X

Institute was.

Ruby hooked her lips in a smiling manner, said nothing more and pulled the black ribbon over her eyes.

What everyone didn't know, however, was that this method of trying to confuse directions was great,

but it didn't work on her.

Next, she leaned against the car window as if she were asleep, but her mind kept running nimbly,

feeling carefully the direction the car was going, and engraving the route firmly in her mind.

Half an hour later, the car finally stopped and Lincoln woke her up, only then did Ruby move her body

and get permission to take off her blindfold.

On the ground floor, there were laboratories, on the first floor, there were material rooms, on the upper

floors, there were offices and information areas, and on the top two floors, there were rest and living

areas. And the sixth floor, the top floor, was where she stayed.

Her suspicions were confirmed when she walked into the private room of the restaurant and saw

Benjamin sitting inside.

"Ruby ...... What are you doing here?"

Just the moment she made eye contact with Benjamin, before she could react, Benjamin had already

stood up from his chair in great surprise, his face full of disbelief.

Ruby: "......"

She really underestimated the extent of Benjamin's performance, this acting skill should win Oscar gold

medal.

But this outcome was to be expected of her.

Benjamin definitely could not reveal himself as the man behind this institute, and since he was going to

appear in front of her, he would definitely have to change his identity.

Therefore, Ruby, who had anticipated this in advance, also faced him with an expression of surprise.

"...... Benjamin? Why are you here?"

She opened her mouth, unsure, and her eyes glanced between him and Lincoln, and then towards the

others in her seat.

"Are you a patient? Or a researcher?" She asked.

Benjamin saw that she did not raise any suspicion and looked very natural, and a quick flash of

shrewdness flashed at the bottom of his eyes, which was short-lived.

"How can I be a patient? I'm a researcher here, of course. "

Through the silver mask, his exact expression was not clear, but only the surprise that was still not

subsiding at the moment could be heard in his voice.

Immediately afterwards, he asked, "Could you be the patient they are talking about?"

Ruby bit the corner of her lip, then nodded, "Well, I am."

At this, Benjamin reacted as if in hindsight and murmured as if in disbelief, "It's actually you, it's actually

you ......"

Lincoln then came forward, also to make a show, pretending not to know and asked, "Miss Harold, Mr.

Benjamin, you know each other?"

Benjamin nodded and explained briefly, "We are old friends."

Ruby laughed coldly in her heart, but her face did not move as she responded, "Yes, I had you to look

after me when I was in the capital before."

Seeing that she had actually made a polite speech, Benjamin was thoroughly convinced that she had

indeed lost some memories and her temperament had changed a lot along with her.

Late in Lincoln's office, Benjamin sat in the sofa drinking tea with a cold face.

"How is her spirit now?"

"I see she's still in good spirits, the previous potion should have only caused a temporary loss of

memory and not damaged any other brain cells."

"Why is it that after several tests have been done, no problems have been found in the values of her

body indicators?" At this point, Benjamin asked again.

Lincoln pondered for a moment before answering with deliberation, "It shouldn't be a problem with the

medical instruments, and the test results are correct, in fact, there's no point in going for further testing

in this situation now, for the drugs have already decomposed in her body long ago, causing her

memory functions to become disordered. The only solution now is to directly conduct live human

experimental treatment."

"Live human experimentation?" Benjamin listened, his eyes sharper, his brows full of sullen harshness,

"Is it risky?"
