Everyone was banned.

Larry said, “What’s your plan ”

Benjamin stayed silent.

Larry suggested. “How 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?

Exiting the Filige Club, Benjamin drove towards Pineview Villa.

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. “Harper, do you have any issues me living here?”

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, “So when did this v woman come downstairs?”

Harper, glance, replied in an indifferent tone, “Ms. Davis, you have a great imagination. You should consider a career in screenwriting.”

Lauren’s face stiffened as she stared at Harper and said, “Because of you, Benjamin isn’t coming back until late. Harper, what gives you the right to trea me and Benjamin like this?”
