I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159 Are You Divorced?

It was way past eleven.

His face was like chilling, and Harper felt it keenly.

Their eyes met, his squint suggesting a hint of aggression. "Seriously? You're shutting me out now?"

Harper shrugged, her tone cool. "It's late. You should go back."

"So, you're really locking me out? Harper, remember, we're still hitched."

"Benjamin, this morning you made it pretty clear you'd rather not have me around. Changing your tune now?"

"Harper, let me ask again. Am I getting in or not?"

Benjamin stood firm at the doorway, his voice chilly, filled with restrained anger. His eyes, deep and indifferent, were like the deep sea, calm on the surface but hiding a tumult below.

Harper met his gaze evenly. "If I don't, will you wipe my company off the map by morning?"

"Why would I? You got Grandpa and my parents backing you up. So, what's my move?"

His tone dripped sarcasm, a cold smirk dancing on his lips. Then, almost casually, he added, "But others might not be as kind."

Benjamin eventually turned and stepped into the elevator, disappearing from view.

The air still held his presence, and Harper stood there, wondering what he meant.

But one thing was clear. If Benjamin said it, he meant it.

"Was he blaming me for dragging Paul into this mess?" Harper pondered.

But she had no choice. She could take the hit, but she wouldn't let others suffer because of her.

Harper didn't think she had done anything wrong.

This night, sleep eluded her.
