Chapter 213 Lunchtime
"Is Annie the woman who dumped you?" Benjamin went straight to the point, his eyes narrowed and cold.
Larry paused. "You know it?"
"Where is she? With you?"
"Yes."
Benjamin said coolly, "You best not treat her badly."
"Did Harper tell you?"
"It has nothing to do with Harper. This is my advice to you. If Annie is missing for a long time, do you think her family will remain quiet?"
Benjamin reminded, his deep eyes staring at Larry, thinking, "If I had known earlier about Annie's relationship with Larry, would I have told Larry earlier?" Harper had prepared a sumptuous lunch, which looked so good that it made one's mouth water.
Harper unfastened her apron and was about to go upstairs to call Benjamin to eat.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
The butler opened the door, and Lauren walked in wearing a light green dress.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
She saw Harper and was surprised. After looking around and making sure that Benjamin wasn't there, she asked calmly, "What are you doing here?" "You should be asking yourself that question." Harper glanced coldly at her.
Lauren added, "You're getting divorced from Benjamin. Do you really think you still have the right to stay here? Harper, do you regret?"
"What does it have to do with you? Are you hoping I divorce him so eagerly? What if I don't let you get your wish?"
"You..." Lauren despised her but
couldn't do anything about it. Faced with Harper's sarcasm, she could only respond provocatively, "Do you think Benjamin will agree with you? Harper, let's wait and see who will ultimately accompany Benjamin."
Harper didn't care what she said and just gave her a cold glance before preparing to go upstairs and call Benjamin.
However, as soon as she got to the stairs, he walked downstairs.
Harper looked at him and said softly, "Lunch is ready."
Benjamin looked at her expressionlessly. Before he could respond, Lauren spoke up, "Benjamin, I want to talk to you."
He glanced at Lauren and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"
"Benjamin, I think we should talk
alone. I don't want anyone else to know the thing I want to say. Besides, don't think Harper would mind. After all, she knows our relationship. If she minds, she would have stopped us already."
Here, besides her and Benjamin, there was only Harper, so it was clear who "anyone else" referred to.
After finishing her statement, she looked at Harper and asked, "Harper, do you think I'm right?"
"Since when do you care about my opinion?" Harper stared blankly at Lauren.
Knowing that Benjamin was present, Lauren quickly explained, "Harper, I just want to explain it to you. You don't have to be so harsh on me!" "Should I be gentle and tender with you?"
Harper narrowed her eyes and glanced at her.
Lauren hesitated, blushing in embarrassment. She asked lowly, "Harper, are you angry with me because of what happened on Benjamin's birthday?"
Harper looked at her one-woman show and smiled helplessly, saying, "Lauren, you should change careers and become an actress."
She no longer looked at Lauren and just looked at Benjamin, asking, "Benjamin, do you want to eat now, or do you want to talk to her alone first before eating?"
