I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 24 He Stepped In

The coldness in his eyes tightened Harper's chest, piercing straight into her heart.

She stared at him, speechless.

Their eyes locked, and finally, he turned and left the bedroom.

The tension between them started to build up again, driving them apart.

He had denied everything Lauren had said.

"Was Lauren lying?" Harper wondered.

She remained silent, her lips pressed together in a grim line, her heart heavy.

Throughout the night, Benjamin didn't return to the bedroom, but he didn't leave the house either. No sound of a car had disturbed the silence. Neither of them wanted to back down. By the next morning, when Harper came downstairs, Benjamin had already left for the Martin Group.

On the road, Curtis glanced a few times at Benjamin in the rearview mirror, hesitating to speak.

After a moment, Benjamin finally caught it.

He asked indifferently, "What's wrong?"

Curtis decided to report honestly, "Mr. Martin, Mrs. Martin's company is in trouble, and there has some negative comment on the company's social media account. The situation is quite significant. If things don't go well, it can tear the company apart."

Benjamin frowned slightly and calmly said, "Hmm."
