I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)
Chapter 537

Chapter 537 Command

Harper shook her head. Annie handed her the phone and asked, "How much do you know about the situation between Benjamin and Lauren? Is there any truth to the news?"

Harper held the phone tightly. She looked at the online news with empty eyes.

She was completely unaware of the news, let alone what was happening outside.

When she saw what people were discussing about Lauren and Benjamin online, she felt so confused and her face froze.

So Benjamin kept her here and didn't allow her to go out just to be with Lauren?

She lowered her head, handed the phone back to Annie, and said in a calm voice, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Thank you for coming to see me. Did Benjamin mention when he might let me out?" There was no response from any of the three.

When Harper saw this, she immediately realized that they had come here without Benjamin's knowledge. That meant Benjamin wouldn't have allowed them to come if he'd known.

She thought, "This was ridiculous. You wanted to go public with Lauren, so why did you hide it from me?

Just tell me directly. Are you afraid that I will hurt the baby?"

She really wanted to tell Benjamin that she wouldn't harm her child for anything. The child was not only Benjamin's but also hers. She'd been pregnant for ten months, so she knew the child best. Only a mother could truly understand the bond between a mother and her baby.

So it's not necessary for him to do that.

Harper took a deep breath and smiled. It was heartbreaking to see.

Annie reached out to grab her shoulder. It might have been the right thing to do, to hide it from her. But Annie knew her well enough to know that hiding it would hurt her more than telling her.

Annie said in a soft voice, "Harper, come with us. We'll leave this place behind, okay?"

Harper gave her hand a gentle pat, as if to reassure her that everything would be okay.

Lily was also pretty upset when she saw this. She explained gently, "Harper, the rumors online may not be true. But Benjamin has gone too far this time. He really shouldn't lock you in here by yourself. Don't you worry, sweetheart. I will make sure you get what you deserve. I'll ask Sir Martin to teach him a lesson."

Harper smiled and said, "Lily, I know you're just trying to help, but I would appreciate it if you didn't tell Paul about this. He's getting on in years, and I don't want him to worry." When she said this, Lily felt her heart break a little more.

"Harper, it was all Benjamin's fault. You were just a victim." Lily tried to comfort her and said.

Lily was at a loss for words. It was a little too far-fetched for her to replace any reason or excuse to explain Benjamin's behaviors. All that had been seen so far was evidence of fact, which was much more convincing than her explanations.

All of a sudden, she made up her mind. She picked up her cell phone and called Benjamin.

She acted so quickly, leaving no time for anyone to react.

The call was soon put through.

Benjamin was aware that Lily was feeling irritated with him, so he politely suggested, "Mother, I have a meeting soon. Perhaps we can discuss this further later?" "Benjamin, if you dare to hang up on me, it'll be the end of our mother-son relationship."

Lily used her killer move and Benjamin was instantly silenced.

Lily asked him, "What on earth are you doing? Are you going to destroy the whole family? What is going on with you and Lauren Davis? Give me an explanation! Tell me you have nothing to do with her!"

Lily fired the questions one after another, but Benjamin did not deny any of them and even seemed to want to remain silent.

"Mom, I can't talk about it right now. I'll explain everything to you and Grandpa Paul when I've finished what I'm doing, okay?" He said resignedly.
