Chapter 271
Intentional Harm
Benjamin did not allow Harper to respond to Frank's words directly. He revealed everything in a few words, and the onlookers immediately echoed that this was not a simple accident but a deliberate act. Moreover, Harper was pregnant, which exacerbated the matter. Michelle was taken away by the police.
Frank tried to explain to Benjamin, but Benjamin just said, "Michelle's behavior was intentional harm, and it was directed at you. Mr. Parker, do you really want me to let her off or hold her accountable?" Benjamin smiled meaningfully, and Frank made no reply.
Their eyes locked. The next moment, Benjamin took Harper's hand and walked straight towards his car.
He ordered Curtis, "Find witnesses and surveillance footage and hand them over to the police. Handle this matter according to normal procedures."
Curtis nodded and left. Benjamin then glanced at Harper in the front passenger seat and whispered, "Why don't you speak?"
Harper came back to her senses and turned to Benjamin. She had been silent since just now. In fact, she had never had a chance to chip in.
She asked, "What do you mean by your words to him just now?"
Benjamin smiled, "Why do you inquire about it? Are you going to let her off?"
Harper didn't respond. Of course, she didn't think so. Michelle's behavior was very dangerous. It was because of her good luck and Benjamin's timely arrival that nothing happened, but what about the future?
She couldn't guarantee that Michelle wouldn't do such a thing again.
So, she agreed that Michelle needed to be taught a lesson.
However, Harper's curiosity about Benjamin's words persisted, prompting her to demand, "I'm inquisitive and thus desire clarification."
Benjamin stared at her calmly. "Do you think Frank's reaction is the most correct way to handle it?"
Harper frowned and said nothing.
She wondered if it was incorrect.
She looked up at Benjamin in a daze.
He asked, "Why didn't he side with his sister and try to reason with her? Instead, he seemed to provoke her, drawing attention to her outbursts and deliberate harm to others. The law won't excuse her actions just because her victim is her brother." Benjamin's words stunned Harper.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
She frowned and fell into silence with a gloomy expression.
Benjamin asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing."
She shook her head.
"Do you think I am deliberately distorting the truth and framing Frank?"
Benjamin's voice was cold, and he was obviously displeased.
Harper explained in a low voice, "I don't think so."
"Really?"
"Yes."
Benjamin stopped talking about this topic and checked the time, and then his eyes fell on her
go for a meal first."
Harper nodded, and the car started the next second.
They had lunch, but the atmosphere was always relatively quiet, with almost no communication or exchange.
Harper clearly sensed that Benjamin was not in a good mood, but unsure of what to say, she chose to keep silent.
They had just finished their meal when Curtis called.
"Mr. Martin, all the witnesses and evidence have been submitted. The police will prosecute Michelle for intentional harm." "Okay," Benjamin responded.
Curtis didn't quite understand what Benjamin meant. When he was about to ask how to deal with the matter, Harper's phone rang. It was Frank.
He likely received news from the police and contacted Harper as soon as possible.
Subconsciously looking at Benjamin, Harper clicked to answer the call. "Hello, Frank. What's up?"
"Harper, can you give Michelle a
chance for my sake? I know that I am not qualified to make such a request, and I understand the severity of Michelle's actions. Ultimately, much of the

responsibility falls on me. My failure to properly care for her resulted in trouble and danger for you. I'm sorry!"
"Frank, if I tolerate her this time, can you promise that there won't be another time?" Harper asked softly. No harm had been done, but the
thought of it still gave her a lingering fear.
