I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68 Ruin Her Reputation

Quickly, there was progress on the side of Frank.

He handed over the findings to Harper, then asked, "Harper, what do you want to do? I can help."

"I don't need your help, you focus on your own tasks. I'm also getting ready to go to the site."

"What about this matter?"

Frank asked with a worried frown.

"I don't have time to deal with it, let's just leave it for now."

Harper seemed indifferent, pretending not to know anything, and let the matter slide.

She set off for the construction site, and this busy schedule lasted the whole day. Recently, she spent most of her time there, walking around to survey and revise drawings. Although tiring, it was also a way to stay fit, making her feel better, especially thinking that it toughened her up for the baby.

At noon, Harper went to a restaurant with Charlie and others. Since everyone at the table was familiar, the atmosphere was casual.

During the meal, Harper went to the restroom.

When she returned, she was stopped at the restroom door.

It was Nathan.

With his hands in his pockets, Nathan looked at Harper with a sinister smile. "Ms. Mitchell, we meet again. Shall we grab a meal together?"

Harper replied calmly, "Mr. Lynch, we're not acquainted, so there's no need for us to eat together, right?"

"Harper Mitchell, I advise you not to act recklessly, or I have my ways to deal with you."

"Mr. Lynch, this is a society governed by the rule of law. Are you suggesting you'll do something illegal?"

Nathan remained silent, and Harper managed to slip away smoothly.

Encountering Nathan again made her suspicious.

On the other side, Curtis reported this incident to Benjamin.

"Mr. Martin, Nathan is a treacherous person. With Mrs. Martin being so beautiful, wouldn't he have evil intentions?"

Benjamin's face showed a hint of inquiry as he asked, "Do you think Harper is very beautiful?"

Curtis hesitated for a moment, unsure how to respond.

He lowered his head and quickly clarified. "Mr. Martin, what I mean is, would Nathan do anything harmful to Mrs. Martin?"

With a face that always seemed to hold a sense of inquiry, Benjamin said calmly, "Keep an eye on her secretly. If anything happens, inform me immediately."

"Understood."

Relieved, Curtis left the office.

Benjamin leaned back in his chair, his eyes deep and filled with a sense of loneliness. In his mind echoed Curtis' words, "With Mrs. Martin being so beautiful."

Benjamin was well aware of Harper's beauty, especially the allure in her eyes, which only intensified his dissatisfaction the more he thought about it.

This woman could affect his mood.

In the evening, Harper left the construction site, preparing to return to Pineview Villa.

Her phone rang at that moment.

"Hello, who's this?"

"Is this Harper? It's me, Lauren Davis."

"Lauren?"

This was the first time they had spoken on the phone.

Lauren went straight to the point, her tone slightly urgent. "Harper, let's reconcile."

"Ms. Davis, are you kidding me?" Harper genuinely laughed.

Harper laughed.
