I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 444

Frowning with displeasure, he still listened to Harper.

The conversation in the living room didn't stop. However, without getting a response from Lily, Sharon asked tentatively, "Mrs. Lily Martin, why don't you speak? Did we reveal your thoughts?"

With a fake smile, Lily glanced at her and said, "Mrs. Sharon Norman, Julia has been engaged to Larry for a long time, right? Hasn't the Ellison family proposed a wedding?

"I think you should care about your own family affairs. As for Benjamin and Harper, I don't think anyone needs to intervene in their marriage. The Martin Group doesn't need a woman to be responsible for whether its future development is good or bad."

Lily, who had always been gentle with others, rarely spoke in such a harsh tone. It was the second time Harper had seen it.​

After being sharp with Jennifer the first time, now she was sharp with Sharon.

Lily's words silenced Sharon. Debra was from the Lynch family, who had been close to the Martin family and the Norman family for many years. However, the company of the Lynch family has always been stagnant, and they relied on their past friendship to maintain their status within the circle.

The atmosphere was quiet for several seconds. Sharon and Debra looked at each other, and then Sharon explained in a low voice, "Mrs. Lily Martin, I know you are kind-hearted.

But upon exiting the living room, they saw Harper and Benjamin standing at the entrance.

They were dumbfounded.

Sharon said in surprise, "Benjamin. Benjamin, you are back."

"Are you in such a hurry to go home?" Benjamin said indifferently, his eyes cold.

Sharon didn't dare to meet his gaze and just nodded slightly in response to his words.

Lily in the living room also heard Benjamin's voice and then rushed out, only to find the four of them standing at the entrance. She walked quickly to Harper. "Harper, you're back, but why don't you go in now?"

Harper smiled, "We arrived a while ago."

In other words, she and Benjamin heard Sharon and Debra's conversation.

Lily wanted to explain, but Harper, staring at her, said, "Lily, it's okay."

Sharon and Debra immediately turned to Lily and said, "Mrs. Lily Martin, you..."
