âOf course, I know you havenât divorced yet. Thatâs why I hope you find a good match for her before the divorce. This way, people will know that Harper isnât desperate to cling to you.â
Paulâs words were merciless, and his gaze towards Benjamin grew even more disdainful.
Benjamin naked, âDoes Harper know about your request?â
âWhether she knows or not, what does it matter? Harper is a good girl. She will listen to me.â
âGrandpa, I really your grandson3â
Though he knew the , at that moment, uncertainty crept in Paul coldly replied. âIf you werenât my grandson. I would have broken your leg by now. Hmphâ
Despite Benjamin standing at the top of the pyramid outside, where his words were law and unquestioned, in front of Paul, he was always the one who had to comply.
Unable to change Paulâs decision, Benjamin could only reluctantly agree âAlright, I will see to it âItâs not just seeing to it. You must make itâs done well. This is priority and must be taken seriously.â
âOkay, I understand.â
Nodding. Benjamin couldnât help but imagine Harper holding hands another introducing him to Paul.

Harper her head. âWeâre getting a divores, so thereâs no need to tell him. Also, please keep it from the family for now. I donât want to tell them yet.â
Since she had mentioned her plan of divorce with Benjamin during her last visit to the Mitchell Manor, Jennifer had been angry and hadnât contacted her since.
Harper had tried calling, but Jennifer refused to answer.
Julie, who understood Harperâs relationship with the Mitchell family the best, patted Harperâs shoulder and soothingly asked, âIs Aunt still indifferent towards you?â
Harper didnât reply simply , âHow have you been lately?â
Julie didnât press further, just responding to Harperâs question After chatting for a while, Julie, having patients to attend to, didnât want to disturb Harper and bid her farewell.
Exiting the hospital, Harper decided to call Jennifer again The call was answered by a maid, who, upon hearing Harperâs voice, responded somewhat dismissively. Knowing Harper was Jenniferâs second lady without favor, those maids didnât bother to butter her up.
âMs. Mitchell, is there something you need at this hour â

âMrs. Jennifer Mitchell is not at home.â
âHe is also not home.â

While the group drinks and exchanged glances, Benjaminâs face remained serious thoughts.
Larry asked, âBenjamin, whatâs on your mind?â
Furrowing his brows, Benjamin took a sip of his drink before saying, âGrandpa wants me to introduce someone to Harper, have her date them, and then get divorced. Is Harper the real grandchild of my grandfather?â
Everyone was banned.
Larry said, âWhatâs your plan â
Benjamin stayed silent.
Larry suggested. âHow about you introduce me to Harper? My family is also pressuring me to wife. Though I no feelings for Harper, we can develop them slowly. What do you think?
Benjaminâs expression darkened immediately. He glanced coldly at Lany as he replied in a detached tone, âI donât want to hear that kind of joke a The group looked at Laury curiously, , âWhat does Benjamin mean? Is he going to introduce or ?â
Chapter 34 Gives You the Right Larry smiled, âWho knows?â
Exiting the Filige Club, Benjamin drove towards Pineview Villa.
Lauren called at that moment. âBenjamin, itâs late Arenât you coming back?â
Benjaminâs expression was still grim. âWhatâs the matter?â
She hurriedly explained, afraid of upsetting him, âNothing, Iâm just worried about you.â
After her words, Benjamin remained silent for while.
Lauren tentatively asked, âBenjamin, are you busy?â
âNo.â
She casually mentioned. âThen come back soon. Harper just got home.â
âHarper just got home?â
Lauren affirmed, then murmured, âHarper must have had an appointment.â
Benjamin didnât continue that topic, his tone cooling as he said, âLauren, the doctor sa need more rest. Itâs getting late, go to bed early.â
Without waiting for Laurenâs response, he hung Lauren frowned, feeling uneasy, her mind filled with doubts.
3 She thought âItâs only halfâpast nine. Though not early, it isnât exactly bedtime either. Has Benjaminâs feelings towards me changed?â
The more Lauren thought, the more distressed she became. Her gaze drifted to Harper, who sitting on the other side, engrossed in her computer. Lauren stood up and walked over, looking down at Harper and asking. âHarper, do you have any issues me living here?â
Harper, busy with her design sketches, was taken aback by the sudden question. She had purposely worked downstairs to avoid such confrontations.
She looked up at Lauren in confusion, thinking, âSo when did this v woman come downstairs?â
Harper, glance, replied in an indifferent tone, âMs. Davis, you have a great imagination. You should consider a career in screenwriting.â
Laurenâs face stiffened as she stared at Harper and said, âBecause of you, Benjamin isnât coming back until late. Harper, what gives you the right to trea me and Benjamin like this?â
