Chapter 1751: 424: The Green Tea among Green Teas Chapter 1751: 424: The Green Tea among Green Teas Barton Turner knew Hale Bennett's feelings for Gemma were different.
But some things couldn't be avoided simply by not facing them.
A traitor is a traitor.
Gemma betrayed everyone.
It was Gemma's betrayal that had caused the ultimate plan to be shelved until now.
Hale Bennett squinted, “Then tell me, what exactly is the ultimate goal of the ultimate plan?”
Barton Turner replied, “To purify the universe and allow humanity to live a higher quality of life.”
Hale Bennett's expression was indiscernible as he simply said, “If that were true, Gemma would never have disappeared without reason until now.”
The Gemma he knew only sought a stable life.
Barton Turner looked at Hale Bennett, “Do you really understand her?”
A moment later, Barton Turner continued: “Since the establishment of the ultimate plan, everything we have done has been for a better tomorrow, for everyone to have a better life! The ultimate plan could have been perfectly completed, but because of Gemma, things turned out this way! We have no home to return to! We have to stay in this damned place!”
As Barton Turner spoke, he became increasingly agitated.
It was because of Gemma that things had turned out this way.
But what about now?
Nobody wanted to admit Gemma was a traitor!
Even her fiance didn't believe it!
This made Barton Turner feel wronged and sad.
“Barton!” Hale Bennett squinted his eyes, “When did you become like this!”
Barton Turner took a deep breath.
“I don't want to argue with you today.”
She didn't want a traitor to affect her relationship with Hale Bennett.
It wasn't worth it.
Disappointment filled Hale Bennett's eyes, “I wished our relationship could be one where we could talk about anything, without reservations. It seems I overestimated us.”
After saying this, Hale Bennett turned and left.
Watching Hale Bennett's retreating figure, Barton Turner was stunned, feeling stifled and breathless.
Was Hale Bennett disappointed in her?
He treated her like family, spoke freely to her, yet she held back from him.
Anyone might find that hard to accept, wouldn't they?
Barton Turner wanted to chase after him to say something.
But she controlled herself.
It wasn't right.
Even though she and Hale Bennett were engaged, there were things she had promised her grandfather not to tell anyone.
With this thought.
Barton Turner retracted her step.
I'm sorry.
She would find a chance to explain to Hale Bennett.
Seeing that Barton Turner hadn't followed, Hale Bennett slightly squinted his eyes and returned to his room.
Baibai heard the noise and immediately came over.
Hale Bennett bent down and touched Baibai's head.
Baibai made a whimpering sound.
At that moment, the female bodyguard stood outside and knocked on the door.
“Sir.”
“What is it?” Hale Bennett adjusted his expression.
The female bodyguard continued, “Victoria has brought you nourishing soup.”
Victoria was Barton Turner's assistant.
Hearing this, Hale Bennett slightly narrowed his eyes, “Have her take it back.”
Take it back?
The female bodyguard was stunned.
Thinking she had misheard and somewhat uncertainly asked, “You mean, have Victoria take the soup back?”
“Yes.”
“All right, I understand.”
The female bodyguard walked over to Victoria, “Sorry sister Victoria, our chief asked you to take the soup back.”
“What?” Victoria was also stunned.
The female bodyguard nodded, “That's what the chief said.”
Victoria hesitated, “But, I can't explain this to Miss Barton Turner!”
Barton Turner had instructed her to personally deliver the nourishing soup to Hale Bennett's hands, how could she leave empty-handed and explain it to Barton Turner?
The bodyguard said, “But if chief doesn't want it, there's nothing I can do…”
Victoria knew the bodyguard's loyalty, but still suggested, “Could you please ask the chief again?”
“I wouldn't dare, how about you ask?” The bodyguard looked at Victoria.
Victoria glanced toward the door.
A moment later, she sighed.
Never mind!
She didn't dare either.
Victoria picked up the nourishing soup, then said, “I'd better go back.”
She hoped Barton Turner wouldn't be angry with her.
Tentatively holding the nourishing soup, Victoria returned to Barton Turner's courtyard.
“Miss.”
“Back already?” Barton Turner looked at Victoria.
Victoria's expression was tense, constantly avoiding Barton Turner's eyes. “Chief…”
“Wasn't the gift received?” Barton Turner asked.
Victoria nodded.
The expression on Barton Turner's face was calm, not as terrifying as Victoria had imagined.
Seeing her like this, Victoria also relaxed a lot.
