After conversing for a while with Benjamin and General Howard's aide, Jeremy decided it was time to return to his residence. He felt that other matters no longer held significant relevance to him.
As he departed, Jeremy walked alongside Ritchie.
Bonnie also wished to leave with Jeremy, but her father, Benjamin, immediately called her to a halt.
"During this recent period, it would be best if you refrained from accompanying Jeremy." Benjamin stated directly after stopping Bonnie.
Upon hearing this, disappointment spread across Bonnie's face.
"Father, your demand contradicts the agreement we made. You once promised me that you would not prevent me from following Jeremy. Did you not believe that Jeremy could ensure my safety?"
In response to Bonnie's inquiry, Benjamin spoke plainly.
