I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Netizens and some artists laughed at Lauren repeatedly. [One dollar? Isn't this a slap in Lauren's face?]

[I can hear the slap in her face. It hurts a lot. How amusing!]

Lauren has always considered herself a paragon of purity and beauty. However, beneath her pretense of well-wishing, her words were laced with deliberate provocation, stirring up trouble.] [I support Harper. She's impressive.]

Lauren watched as her Twitter account was inundated with comments. Her fans didn't dare to contradict the netizens because they were so eloquent.

Reading one comment after another that was belittling and ridiculing her, she almost collapsed. She threw the phone and said frantically, "Is Harper trying to destroy me?"

Rue had a stern face. "Lauren, I've told you not to talk nonsense. What should we do now?"

Lauren sneered inwardly, "What should we do?© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Let's wait and see.

I won't let Harper be complacent for long."

Lauren was completely reduced to a laughingstock by the apology letter and the one-dollar compensation. Intent on teaching her a lesson, Benjamin ignored her, leaving her with no option but to retreat temporarily.

After Lauren's statement, the rumors accusing Harper of snatching the Martin Group's shares were temporarily resolved, but the Martin Group and the collapse continued to escalate.

The culprit who orchestrated the accident had not yet been found, so Harper, as the architect and the person who was aware of all the surveillance backend, was the primary suspect.

However, she was safe for the time being because the family members of the deceased in the collapse began to make demands on the Martin Group.

Two or three days passed since the incident, but as the investigation was still ongoing, the body of the deceased couldn't be handed over to his family for now.

Therefore, they posted a petition online, hoping that the Martin Group could allow the deceased to be buried as soon as possible. They also stated that they did not want any compensation but only peace and justice for the deceased. Everyone was instinctively soft-hearted. After learning of the family's request, netizens sympathized with them and flocked to the Martin Group's public account and the Martin Building to express an urge for the deceased to rest in peace. A lot of people gathered downstairs at the Martin Group, which aroused discussion among the employees.

Paul called Benjamin. "What are you going to do with the deceased?"

"Once the police have completed the investigation, I will give an explanation to the family of the deceased."

"It has caused such an uproar. The deceased's family wants the body of the deceased. If the impasse continues, it will not be good for the Martin Group."

"Grandpa, I understand what you mean, but everything is according to normal procedures. The police have issued the process arrangements. They're too anxious." Benjamin had been pondering about the consistent discussion of the collapse.

Before the family required the deceased to be buried, Harper became the focus of public opinion because of Lauren's speech. Although Benjamin led Ryan to bail Harper out without causing much disturbance, the attention of the public shifted back to the Martin Group from Harper.

Benjamin wondered what the purpose of the mastermind was.

Paul, too, observed the situation. He intended to ensure that Benjamin fulfilled the wishes of the deceased's family. Recognizing the paramount importance of honoring the deceased, Paul believed they should prioritize the family's sentiments. However, upon hearing Benjamin's explanation, he said, "Benjamin, handle it according to your judgment. I'll have your back."

It couldn't be the Martin Group's fault when such an accident happened. If there was negligence, they must thoroughly investigate where it occurred.

After Benjamin finished the phone call with Paul, he fiddled with the phone in his hand and narrowed his deep eyes slightly, his expression unreadable.

The next moment, he suddenly thought of something and immediately called Curtis in.
