I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 77 Those Who Wronged Her

But all she was met with was silence.

Lily realized something was off and quickly said, "Harper, I believe you. Can you tell me what really happened?"

Harper's lips were tightly pressed, her eyes fixed on Benjamin, her heart sinking to its lowest.

She murmured to herself, "Harper, can you see now who he truly cares about? Don't hold onto any fantasies anymore."

Harper took a deep breath and said quietly, "Benjamin, whether you believe me or not, I have to tell you, I didn't try to hurt myself. It was Lauren who pushed me down. Of course, you can choose to believe Lauren, since nothing I say holds any value or credibility in your eyes."

After speaking, she immediately turned to Lily and said, "Lily, I want to go back to Pineview Villa. I'm okay, you don't need to worry. Today is grandpa's birthday, and so much has happened that seems somehow connected to me. I truly am sorry."

"What are you talking about, silly girl? We're all family here. Me, Scott and Paul all believe in you and stand by your side." Lily understood Harper's words and then looked at Benjamin. "You go back with Harper."

"No," Harper quickly refused, saying, "Lily, I can go back on my own."

With that, she threw back the covers and got out of bed. The whole process was swift; she didn't glance at Benjamin again.

Looking at Harper's pale face set in defiance, Benjamin's expression grew even darker, his brows furrowing tighter.

As Harper drove away from the Martin Manor, her heart was increasingly empty. She was well aware of Benjamin's partiality to Lauren, yet she couldn't help but hopelessly seek confirmation. Harper sighed deeply, the disappointment in her heart deepening further.

A year of marriage, yet not a shred of trust. Wasn't that laughable?

"Harper Mitchell, you are incompetent," Harper murmured to herself quietly.
