I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 423

Annie narrowed her eyes and fell silent subconsciously.

Noticing her silence, Harper smiled, "If I weren't implicated in this incident, those rumors would undoubtedly sway my thoughts to some extent. After all, people have a penchant for gossip, and their imaginations know no bounds, so nothing remains unshakeable forever."

"Harper, cease imagining things. Regardless of others' opinions, I have full confidence in your character. You're not the type to engage in such actions. If you aim to obtain control of the Martin Group, there are numerous ways available to you, and you don't need to bring trouble upon yourself."

Annie ordered Harper firmly and immediately prevented her from indulging herself in these unfounded speculations.

Harper smiled faintly without showing much emotion or reaction.

She thought, "What will I do if Benjamin really believes these rumors?

I have no solutions.

After all, I can't stop other people's thoughts, so what can I do?

Just let nature take its course."

Less than a minute after the conversation between Harper and Annie had ended, there was another knock on the door.

Annie said instinctively, "It must be Benjamin."

However, it was Sophia who said, "Ms. Mitchell, are you free now? The police are here to inquire about some details."

Sophia's low voice suggested the police were beside her.

Harper and Annie looked at each other, and the latter whispered, "What about making up an excuse to summon Benjamin here first?"

"It's useless even if he comes. Open the door." With that, Harper walked over and unlocked the door.

The police presented their identification and explained their purpose. Due to the heightened public opinion online, which exerted significant pressure on the police, they felt compelled to request Harper's cooperation and accompany them back to the police station for further investigation.

Harper nodded.

Annie mentioned that reporters were gathered at the entrance, the building, and the parking garage. Harper probably had to follow the police to leave, which was deemed the safest option.

So Harper agreed without any hesitation.

Under the protection of the police, Harper exited the company wearing a hat and sunglasses with her head down.

Thanks to the police tailing her, everything proceeded without a hitch until she got into the car.

Yet, of course, the scene was captured by media personnel. Reporters irresponsibly relayed the information. [Harper was arrested and confessed to orchestrating the collapse of the Martin Group.]

[Harper was arrested by the police and admitted that she did everything.]

[Harper's marriage to Benjamin broke down.]

[The Martin family and the Martin Group have not made any statement so far. Is their silence an acknowledgment of Harper's responsibility for this matter?]

The comments flowed continuously, resembling the narration of a turbulent conflict within an affluent family.

After Harper was taken away by the police, Annie immediately called Benjamin.

Benjamin had already arrived downstairs when Annie's call came through. He said coldly, "I see."
