Chapter 167 Lauren's Plan

When Harper witnessed it all with her own eyes, a fleeting pang of pain pricked her heart, but she resisted the urge to seek explanation or disturbance.

With a wry smile, she was about to suggest leaving when Annie beat her to it. "Harper, steer clear of those scumbags. If they're married and still messing around with other women, just dump them. What's the point of keeping them around? With your looks and wealth, you can have any type of guy you want. You don't know how much young guys love someone like you, fit and loaded."

If Annie didn't have the last word, no one could.

Harper's attempt to cover her mouth came too late, and both Benjamin and Lauren heard her unfiltered remarks.

Harper locked eyes with Benjamin briefly, but it was just a fleeting moment before she looked away.

She whispered to Annie, "Are you done? Can we bail now? If we keep this up, we'll have a whole audience, and it's your debut day in Mayby. We might as well trend on social media." Annie hesitated for a heartbeat before acquiescing. "Let's roll. I'll zip it for the day, just for you."

Harper shot her a grateful smile as they walked hand in hand towards the exit. Passing by Benjamin and Lauren, they didn't even spare them a glance, making a beeline for the parking lot. Lauren glanced at Benjamin, who wore a solemn expression and watched Harper leave. She whispered, "Should we explain it to Harper?"
