I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 530 Marital Troubles

"What's the point of catching him? Hold him responsible? It's not that simple. Frank has the backing of the Parker family. Even though he's just an adopted son, the Parkers would pull every string to protect him for the sake of their reputation. I'm not scared of him, but it's just a waste of time. Even if we did manage to get him sentenced, the process would take too long. I don't want to waste so much energy on him unnecessarily."

Benjamin's mindset hadn't changed from the start; he intended to make sure Frank had no foothold in Mayby forever, even in Dattlech.

He never thought of using legal means to punish Frank. Not only would it take too much time, but it would also mean getting the Martin Group to confront the Parker family, which was unnecessary. Frank just wasn't worth it.

Even though the Martin Group wasn't afraid of the Parker family, in this circle, less trouble is always better.

All he was doing now was letting Frank dig his own grave.

Since Frank was hell-bent on ruining himself, Benjamin was ready to see it through to the end.

But this cat-and-mouse game would eventually end, and the day it ended would be the day Frank vanished.

Curtis didn't quite understand Benjamin's intentions, but regardless, Benjamin's decision was naturally infallible, so Curtis didn't ask any further questions.

A dreamless night passed.

The following morning, Benjamin stepped out of his suite. At the same time, Winnie received a message from Curtis and waited at the door next door.

Benjamin walked past her without a glance and stopped by the elevator a few meters away.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Winnie looked at Curtis, puzzled. "Mr. Yost. Mr. Martin, he..."

"Just keep up," Curtis reminded her gently, without further explanation.

Winnie nodded and hurried after them.

In the elevator, the three of them stood in silence, Benjamin not interacting with Winnie at all, not even a word.

As the elevator neared the first floor, Benjamin casually said, "Give her the hat and sunglasses."

The instruction was clearly meant for Curtis, who then handed them to Winnie and whispered, "Stay close to Mr. Martin when we go out, don't speak, and don't look up, got it?"

Winnie had heard this instruction several times before and could recite it by heart, but she still nodded. Her gaze inadvertently drifted towards the man standing slightly ahead of her. His handsome and distinguished profile made her cheeks flush with a hint of red, and her eyes filled with fascination. Being near such a man thrilled her to no end.

Curtis cleared his throat softly, a subtle hint for her to watch her boundaries.

Right then, the elevator doors opened.

The trio stepped out of the elevator, with Benjamin striding ahead, Winnie close by his side, and Curtis accompanying on the other.

A few reporters had gathered at the entrance, but none dared approach Benjamin to ask questions, given his influential status.

However, having firsthand information was enough to satisfy them.

In just half a minute, Benjamin and his company had already left the hotel in their car. The reporters murmured among themselves, "The woman who came out with Mr. Martin is Lauren, right?"

"Has Lauren made it to replace Harper?"

"It must be true; Mr. Martin spent the night with her in the hotel. Doesn't that basically confirm their relationship?"

"So, are the rumors about Mr. Martin's marital troubles true?"

They remained silent. Neither dared to make a judgment.
