I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 449 Pursuit

Harper was caught off guard. It was only now that she grasped the history between Julia and Annie. With a hint of concern in her expression, she asked, "Are you...okay?" "I'm fine. But could you answer my question first?" Annie removed her disposable gloves, turned to face Harper, and her eyes carried a hint of coldness.

Harper responded, "I suppose it's just an attempt to please his mother. After all, they've been old friends for many years. If there's any connection, it's probably because my earlier warning to Julia made the Norman family uncomfortable." "She was probably just pretending to please his mother, but she was actually attempting to tarnish your image!" Annie's indifference grew, and she continued, "Julia isn't fond of you because of me, so her mother is trying to sabotage you."

"If they wanted to sabotage me, they wouldn't need to personally visit the Martin Manor. The Martin family's stance on me is well-established in our circle. It can't be influenced by a few words of provocation. So, don't take it personally. It's not about you. I'm only telling you this to let you know that the Martin family treats me even better than the Mitchell family." Annie suppressed her emotions and calmly said, "I agree. Actually, I've always had a question. If it weren't for the Martin family being so good to you, I would have suspected that they had ulterior motives."

Harper chuckled, "What ulterior motives could they have with me?"

"Perhaps they want you to become a bona fide member of the Martin family, so they keep being nice to you to win you over."

"Maybe."

The two exchanged a smile.

Afterward, they discussed the design drawings for a few more moments.

With less than half a month left before the start of the second round of the competition, Annie was feeling worried. She said, "Harper, have you asked Benjamin if this matter can be resolved before the competition?"
