Omnipotent Mrs. Finn novel Chapter 459

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 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.
