I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 574 Unspoken Pressure

Harper immediately took action upon having this idea.

Though Frank couldn't sign the legal transfer document in person, his involvement caused quite a stir, and with just a bit of influence, it could be sorted out. However, there wasn't any rush for now; the competition issue was currently more important.

Despite speaking confidently to Sophia just then, Harper actually lacked confidence. She felt worn out by recent events.

Being pregnant now, her mind didn't seem to work as efficiently as before.

With a serious expression and furrowed brows, she looked at Annie and said, "The competition is about to start, but I feel completely lost. What should I do?" Annie understood her words and knew where her pressure was coming from.

Annie asked, "Do you want to withdraw? Pushing through isn't a solution; you'd only get more anxious later, which wouldn't be good for you and the baby."

Harper looked worried and replied, "I understand, but Sophia and the others have prepared for so long and are so serious. If I withdrew, what would they do? Wouldn't that be unfair to them?"

"I understand your concerns. How about this? Don't say anything for now. If you still feel out of sorts at the moment of the competition, let them take over. After all, you haven't withdrawn; you're just replacing yourself with another team member. For now, let them forge ahead on their own; you can provide advice, and I'll assist you. Is that okay?"

"Well, I wouldn't pay you."
