Jeanne Makes Her Move

Everything that had happened in the past few days was bizarre to him. Out of the blue, he had gotten a chance to study abroad, and now, he was having a personal audience with the Leader's wife.

"I want to talk to you alone about Nox and Shelly. Don't worry, I won't threaten you. I just want to talk to you on behalf of Nox."

There was obvious hesitation on the other end, but Jeanne did not give Benjamin a chance to refuse. "I've sent the address to your phone. I'll go over and wait for you now. See you there."

The moment she was about to hang up the phone, Jeanne thought of something. "It's best not to tell Shelly about this. Telling her won't change anything. It will only add to her burden."

After saying that, Jeanne hung up. She knew very well that if Benjamin was given a choice, he would not agree to meet her.

At that moment, Benjamin was standing on the balcony of Shelly's house, and Shelly was with Bella inside.
