I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 496 The Culprit

Harper coldly laughed, exasperated, "I don't know either. But other than the excuses he's given, I can't think of why he would do such a thing."

"Harper, don't blame yourself and don't overthink it. It's not your fault. Even if he did it for you, what difference does it make? You didn't force him to do it, nor did you imply for him to do it. These are his actions, not yours." Annie eagerly tried to comfort Harper and stop her from feeling guilty.

But Harper was losing her mind, muttering to herself, "If all this is because of me, then I'm the real culprit. What's the difference between me and a murderer?"

"Harper!" Annie sharply interjected, "Don't say that. I've already said, it's not your fault. This is all Frank's doing. Let's go tell Benjamin right now, and let Benjamin make a decision."

"No!" Harper immediately grabbed Annie's hand, shaking her head. "I don't know how to tell him. I haven't thought it through. If he finds out, will he blame me?"

Harper was uneasy, unsure if Benjamin would believe her.

She hesitated.

Harper didn't go back to the office but asked Annie to take her back to the apartment instead.
