I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 424

With a straight face, Frank asked, "Was Harper taken away by the police?"

Noticing that maybe he cared about Harper, Annie didn't ignore him. She softly said yes and added, "Don't worry. She will be fine. Benjamin already knows."

Frowning, Frank finally said no more and glanced at Annie before turning away.

At the sight of his expression, Sophia couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Jones, does Mr. Parker have a crush on Ms. Mitchell?"

"What prompted your question?"

Annie pretended to be ignorant.

Sophia replied, "He is very good to Ms. Mitchell and pays attention to whatever is related to her, but..."

"But what?"

Sophia was embarrassed and hesitated to speak, but Annie asked, "Is it that his kindness is somewhat depressing?"

Sophia didn't reply, her gaze at Annie in astonishment, wondering how Annie could be aware of her thoughts.

Annie fell silent. It turned out that she was not the only one who felt this way. What did this mean?

This suggested that it was not her prejudice but that there was something wrong with Frank's liking for Harper.

Consequently, she harbored a dislike towards Frank and refrained from being amicable towards him.

​But none of that mattered anymore. Now, Harper was married to Benjamin and pregnant. Frank's love could only be a thing of the past.

Following the widespread dissemination of Harper's arrest at the company, the Mitchell family naturally caught wind of the news, as discussions surrounding the Mitchell family and the Mitchell Group resurfaced as a trending topic online.

Many netizens accused the Mitchell family of not educating Harper well and even commented that the Mitchell family hatched the plot with Harper.

The news irritated Jennifer. She and Kimberly had hidden it from Jack until now, so Jennifer could only vent her anger in the room.

Jennifer said, "Does Harper intend to ruin us?"

"Mom, neither the Martin Group nor the Martin family responded to this matter. It can't be true. Harper will never do such a thing. We should believe her."

Kimberly's attitude towards Harper had changed significantly since the last incident with the Mitchell family. In her opinion, Harper was capable, outspoken, and soft-hearted, traits that led her to trust Harper wouldn't engage in such actions, given her inherent kindness.

But Jennifer disagreed and retorted, "Kimberly, she didn't grow up by my side. I can't vouch for her character. Don't be deceived by her. You are in charge of the Mitchell Group now. You must stay rational. Don't be soft-hearted or trust her. She is no longer a member of the Mitchell family, and whatever happens to her is not our concern. However, if she brings trouble to the Mitchell family and the Mitchell Group, I will not let her off."

Jennifer harbored deep resentment. With the misfortunes befalling the Mitchell family coinciding with Harper's return, she naturally attributed all the hardships to Harper.

Kimberly tried to explain, but Jennifer interrupted, "Well, don't talk about it anymore. You can't let your father know about this."

In embarrassment, Kimberly said nothing more in the end.
