I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 41 The Divorce Procedures

"Because Henry wanted to entrust her to me, hoping that I could have her back and that the Martin family could be her background and supporter. Henry was already critically ill at that time. Despite the help he gave me years ago, he never asked me to repay it. This is the first and last time.

"Harper is a very good girl. After all, I feel sorry for Henry and her. If you insist on a divorce, I won't stop you. But Benjamin, as a member of our family, you are responsible for the favors owed by the Martin family. Without Henry, we might not have had the chance to talk together like we do now."

Henry had given Paul a hand many years before, and it was almost a timely help. Otherwise, it was not sure whether Paul could have made it through.

Despite lacking frequent contact and a close relationship for years, the two families remained on good terms.

Paul's words silenced Benjamin. Paul added, "I am not imposing moral obligations. You ought to know that the Martin family is indebted to the Mitchell family. I promised Henry that I would secure Harper's lifelong happiness. When you divorce, I will make it known to the public that she is my god-granddaughter, and I will find her a husband in the name of the Martin family. In addition, a portion of the company's shares will be given to Harper in my name as a wedding gift. I want you to be mentally prepared in advance."

Benjamin's face darkened as Paul spoke. Although he had been asked to look for a suitable partner for Harper before they could divorce, Paul had obviously changed his mind now. Benjamin was silent for a long time.

Paul asked, "After my detailed explanation, what do you think?"

"Grandpa, we haven't divorced yet. Isn't it a bit unfair to me that you've planned so much?"

Paul laughed, narrowed his eyes, and sneered, "Is what you did fair to Harper? You're still married, but you actually allow Lauren to live in Pineview Villa. Benjamin, do you think it's fair?"

Benjamin's eyes were deep. Suppressing his dissatisfaction, he said, "Grandpa, I have my plan."

"Okay, you've grown up, and I can't control you anymore, so don't talk to me about fairness. Two days later, you can get a divorce."

Paul said no more and waved Benjamin out.

He leaned on the seat, closing his eyes slightly and feeling tired. At that moment, Gordon came in, walked to Paul's side, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you tell Benjamin the truth directly? Maybe it will stop him from pursuing a divorce."

"Harper refuses to use the baby to keep him. Let him do it if he desires to split with her. He will regret it someday."

Paul gave a cold snort and fell silent. The resolution of every situation took time. The results wouldn't be decided until the end.
