I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 207 Grandma Is Sick

Harper walked to her desk, set down her purse, and waited for Jack to finish before she responded coolly, "Grandpa is in the hospital. This has nothing to do with the Martin family. It was a decision made by Benjamin and the Martin Group."

"Harper, are you taking Benjamin's side now?"

"I'm not. I'm just telling you the facts."

Jack's anger hadn't subsided, his face still clouded with displeasure as he spoke, "I don't care if what you're saying is the fact. Just remember, you're a Mitchell, not a Martin. Weigh your priorities. Also, your grandmother hasn't been well lately. Your mother and I think you should make your own decision. If you want to bring Eleanor to Mayby for treatment, then you better sort things out with the Martin family quickly and issue an apology to the Mitchell family immediately!"

Harper furrowed her brow, her voice anxious, "Grandma is sick?"

"So think about it. For Eleanor's sake, maybe it's time to have a good talk with the Martin family," Jack said.

Jack's words carried an unmistakable threat.

Harper squinted slightly and asked in a calm tone, "What do you expect me to discuss with the Martin family?"

"You and Benjamin are married, and you have a say in the Martin Group, too. When you married Benjamin, Paul promised you shares, didn't he? Isn't it time to fulfill that promise now? Has Benjamin never mentioned this to you?"

Jack interrogated relentlessly, sentence by sentence, none of which concerned Harper personally. Everything revolved around the interests of the Mitchell family.

However, Harper was genuinely unaware that Paul had intended to give her shares. Whether or not he fulfilled that promise didn't matter to her. Compared to material benefits and money, she valued their sincerity towards her more.

Pretending for a day might be doable, but faking it for over three hundred days a year was impossible.

So, the Martins were truly good to her.

Harper just smiled lightly and said softly, "Are you saying this because you want me to take my share from the Martin family and then completely sever ties?"

Her brow furrowed, her expression darkening.

Jack glanced at her before saying, "Harper, it's not that I'm being harsh on you. I have no choice. Also, you might not know yet that Eleanor isn't your mother's biological mother Your mother and I agree that since Eleanor raised you, you should be responsible for her, as your mother and I have no obligation to take care of her."

Harper could hardly believe these words were coming from Jack's mouth.

biological mother, that meant she

wasn't her biological grandmother either. And they had been comfortable entrusting her to. someone who wasn't related by blood.

Harper didn't understand what Jack and Jennifer thought.

As for Eleanor, blood-related or not, her gratitude was boundless.

Harper silently stared at Jack, a chill of indifference in her eyes. Any guilt she might have felt towards the Mitchell family had completely evaporated just moments ago.

Thinking of Eleanor, Harper's face took on a cold, detached expression. Her voice was even chillier as she said, "I'm sorry! I might not be able to help you. Grandpa has been hospitalized because of this, and I can't persuade Benjamin either, so there's nothing I can do."
