I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 445

Sharon and Debra immediately understood.

Then, they all looked at Harper. Despite their dissatisfaction, they only wanted to leave here as soon as possible. Otherwise, they would have a heart attack.

So, they quickly said to Harper, "Sorry, Harper. We misunderstood. We're really sorry. Please don't be angry, and forgive us, okay?

"We're sorry!"

Harper didn't reply but gazed at Sharon and Debra indifferently.

Of course, she wouldn't accept their apologies.

While jumping to conclusions about some things without knowing anything about them, they were no different from illiterates.

Harper remained silent, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Given Lily's understanding of Harper's personality, her bottom line, and what she cared about, Lily would not force her.

However, Sharon and Debra were family friends, so it was inappropriate to embarrass them too much. Lily interrupted them, "It's getting late. Paul is watering the plants in the back garden. Benjamin, take Harper over."

Benjamin was reluctant. His inclination was to ensure people fully comprehended what should and should not be uttered.

However, Harper didn't want to waste any more time on this matter. She walked up to Benjamin and took his hand. "Come on. Let's go and find Paul."

With that said, she led him towards the back garden.

Benjamin did not refuse and allowed her to take him.

After Benjamin and Harper left, Lily glanced at Sharon and Debra. "Don't mention what happened today after you leave here. Otherwise, don't blame me for ignoring our friendship over these years. It is not the turn of outsiders to instigate matters regarding the Martin family. I hope you will remember this."

Sharon and Debra nodded vigorously before departing with Lily's consent.

They were unwilling to stay at the Martin Manor any longer, and their hearts still pounded for a long time after they came out of the manor.

They would not dare to speak ill of Harper anymore.

However, Lily was sorry for Harper about this. She didn't stop Sharon and Debra at first because of her curiosity about their following remarks.

She would never believe their words.

But Lily was worried that Harper would misunderstand.

During dinner, she brought up this matter and apologized to Harper.

Harper said, "Lily, aren't we family? It's enough that I am aware of your love for me. I don't care about others' opinions at all."

Harper smiled slightly, but her reaction made Lily feel even more guilty.

Paul said, "These are all trivial matters, Harper. What's crucial is that we have faith in you. Those accusations about your desire to take over the Martin Group are simply fueled by jealousy. Benjamin, it's time to address these rumors head-on. Send a legal letter to investigate the source of these allegations. Don't compromise with anyone."

"Okay. I'll listen to you," Benjamin echoed.

Paul, Scott, and Lily all shared unwavering trust in Harper. Additionally, they offered words of comfort, advising her not to burden herself with excessive pressure or overthinking.

Harper was deeply touched by their responses and actions. In contrast to the Mitchell family, she often found herself pondering if she was indeed related to them by blood.
