Chapter 65
Who Sent the Note
The next morning, Harper returned to the Mitchell Manor.
She knew why the Mitchell family didn't want her to divorce Benjamin, so she took a deep breath before she walked into the villa's gate.
She met Kimberly in the garden of the villa.
They pretended not to see each other. Harper continued walking in. Kimberly suddenly asked when she passed by her, "You mean it, about the divorce?"
"Yes."
"Why? At first, you said he wanted a divorce, but his family didn't agree for the sake of the Martin Group. Why does Sir Martin agree now? It was your intention, right?" Kimberly frowned slightly and looked at her.
"We have to divorce sooner or later anyway. Sooner is better."Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Harper's voice was gentle and poise.
Kimberly added, "Mom and Dad are unhappy. Mom is still angry now. You should be calm and thoughtful. I'm trying to prevent Mom from falling into a bad mood. "
Harper glanced at Kimberly indifferently. Although they were sisters, they nearly had no contact. They were just like strangers. Harper stopped thinking about anything else and then walked inside. Kimberly was right, Jack and Jennifer were indeed very angry.
Harper had just walked into the living room when a cup was thrown directly at her.
She turned around so it didn't land on her.
Jennifer pointed at her and said emotionally, "Harper, what do you want? Could you please not drag the Mitchell family down, since you can't help us? Our family is declining. We need the Martin Group, don't you know that?'
"But Sir Martin said that even if Benjamin and I divorce, we two families will not lose contact."
"You do believe him? You do regard him as your grandfather, do you? Trust me, if you are divorced, there will be nothing."
Jack also believed so, and he advised, "Harper, listen to me, go tell Sir Martin that you don't want a divorce, you were just puzzled before."
"Mom and Dad, I have decided. I want a divorce."
"Harper, you really want us to hate you, don't you?" Jennifer shouted and looked at her, finding her eyes were cold and indifferent. Harper insisted. Jennifer could only call Harper's grandmother to persuade her. Harper grew up with her grandmother.
She loved Harper very much, so she just let Harper follow her heart, as long as she was happy.
In desperation, Jennifer said to Harper coldly, "If you insist on getting a divorce, then I won't let you see your grandmother again."
Jennifer threatened her. Harper looked at her mother incredulously. She couldn't believe the words came from her own mother.
But that was the way it was.
She was powerless to change her blood.
Kimberly also came in at this time. She said, "Mom, she will consider her affairs herself. Don't involve grandma, please. If she wants a divorce, just let her do it."
"No, since she is one of the Mitchells, she should obey me."
Jennifer's attitude was tough. "Grandma is getting older. You should think about her. If you want to see her again, don't divorce."
Coming out of the villa, Harper felt so angry that she was trembling.
Harper indeed valued her grandmother. She grew up with her. But she was Jennifer's mother. How could Jennifer say so?
Jennifer asked her to go back and think about it carefully and clearly.
Since last night, Benjamin had also become angry. Although he lived in the same room with her, he treated her like a stranger.
Harper wanted to talk to him several times, but she held back the words. Since she had decided, she should insist.
At night, Harper sat in a daze on the sofa in the bedroom. Although she kept in touch with his grandmother after returning to Mayby, she could not conveniently meet and care for her.
Whether it was because of her grandma or the baby, at this moment, she wanted to leave.
Jennifer couldn't wait any longer.
The day after she met Harper, Kimberly called.
Kimberly said, "Mom used your name to teach Lauren a lesson, for preventing your divorce. This incident happened because of you. Mom wouldn't have done this if you hadn't insisted on divorce. I hope you can handle Lauren well and not bring any risks to the Mitchells."
"Teach Lauren a lesson in my name?"
Harper was confused.
"That's right, Mom bribed Lauren's assistant and prepared to create an accident so that Lauren would give up Benjamin. You'd better keep your marriage if you don't want to take risks. "
Harper believed what Kimberly said.
Lying would do her no good.
She and Kimberly had nothing else to talk about, so they ended the call.
Holding the phone, Harper fell silent.
She had never meant to harm Lauren, even if she didn't like her. In addition, if it were found out that the Mitchell family was involved, Benjamin would let the Mitchells pay. So she couldn't ignore it. But she had to find a way to inform Lauren, meanwhile protecting herself and the Mitchells.
The next morning, in Lauren's studio, Lauren put on makeup and dressed up for her new advertisement shoot. Before she left, her agent came in with a package. "Lauren, it's yours."
"My package?" Lauren frowned. She didn't buy anything from the internet recently.
She asked the agent to open it and see what it was.
The agent opened the package and found an envelope inside. He took out a piece of paper with a paragraph on it.
The agent looked paralyzed after reading it and immediately handed it to Lauren.
Lauren read the words on the note and said with a cold face, "Where is the new assistant?"
"She was there just now. I'll go look for her."
After speaking, the agent immediately left.
At the same time, that assistant received a call. "Lauren already knows what you are going to do. If you don't want to be caught, just pack up and leave.'
The plan had been exposed, she couldn't think much. She hurriedly left the studio with some important stuff.
The agent looked around and didn't find her. Finally, she checked the surveillance and found out that the assistant had left.
Because she had only been there two or three days, they didn't know much about her. After checking they found out that all her documents were fake. They had no idea what to do. Lauren clutched the note. "It must be Harper. She wants me to leave Benjamin."
"If Harper bribed the assistant, then who sent the note to alert you? Lauren, we can't do anything without evidence. It's good if Mr. Martin believes you, but what if he doesn't?"
