I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 351 Side with Her

Lily wore an expressionless look, but her voice remained unchanged. She said, "I'll take you to hang out. You can't spend all your time on work. You share the Martin family's properties. Even if you don't work, there is always enough money for you. Of course, you should have your career and hobbies, but you have to relax occasionally."

At Lily's words, Harper couldn't help but laugh.

She took Lily's arm and murmured, "Lily, you are so sweet. Sometimes, I feel that Benjamin might have been adopted, and I'm your real child."

"Isn't that true?" Lily asked.

Harper smiled. The mood was lightened.

The two got out of the car and walked into the cafe. The receptionist recognized Lily and greeted her. "Hello, Mrs. Lily Martin."

Lily said, "Can I take a booth opposite the private room? We need some privacy for a chat. And I'd like some fruit, a cup of coffee, and a glass of water." "Okay, Mrs. Lily Martin."

The receptionist arranged seats for them. Each booth was separated by screens to ensure its confidentiality.

Harper found it surprising that they came here just to chat.

Just as the idea came to her, a voice came from the screen.

The woman sounded arrogant. "Benjamin, we haven't seen each other for nearly four years. I didn't expect you to still keep things compartmentalized and be cold-blooded."

Benjamin said evenly, "Isn't this good? After all, you are now the CEO of the Madison group. We should separate the business from our emotions since the interests of two companies are involved."

"Well said. This is the experience that Mr. Martin has shared after running the Martin Group for many years. Fine. You have the final say. But Benjamin, I hope we can still be friends outside the office. We were the best partners who had overcome all difficulties together during our college years."

The woman made a very good argument. She was meant to get closer to Benjamin, but she wouldn't make people feel she was doing it on purpose.

The two talked about a lot of things, including work and the past. From their conversation, Harper learned that this woman named Dorcas and Benjamin were college classmates. They started a business together in college and made achievements that no one had broken through so far.

Later, because the Madison family

moved to Teninus and settled down, Dorcas and Benjamin had less contact in recent years. But the last time Benjamin went on a business trip to Teninus, the company he cooperated with was the Madison Group. This time, Dorcas came to Mayby to discuss cooperation with Benjamin.

Harper was silent, her face expressionless. She then asked Lily in a low voice, "Did you bring me here to let me hear these words?"

They were not related by blood, but she treated Harper very sincerely. Even though Benjamin was her son, she took Harper's side.

Lily couldn't be nicer to her.

Lily held Harper's hand and said

earnestly, "Harper, don't worry. I'm on your side. I know Dorcas, and her family's company has cooperated with the Martin Group for a long time. But Benjamin is married, and a self-respecting woman should know the boundaries. I brought you here because I hope you understand that you can't spend all your time on work and have to keep an eye on Benjamin."

Harper couldn't help but laugh, but she felt bitterness inside.

She looked at Lily, feeling grateful, and said softly, "Lily, thank you for siding with me unconditionally. However, we could ask Benjamin about what happened. It's inappropriate to come here to eavesdrop. Besides, the Madison Group and the Martin Group are partners. If it gets out, the Martin Group will be embarrassed. Why don't we leave first?"
