I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 203

Chapter 203 Forcing Them Out

However, Harper didn't directly respond to Curtis' words. She simply said, "Mr. Yost, please refrain from calling me Mrs. Martin in the future. After all, I've already signed the divorce agreement. It might be more appropriate to just call me Ms. Mitchell."

Her response already provided Curtis with an answer.

Curtis nodded and then left the office with the divorce agreement in hand.

To keep her mind from wandering, Harper grabbed a sketch and started drawing. Whatever happened in the past, drawing always helped her calm down.

But this time, it seemed to fail her.

There was simply no way to quiet her mind.

She bit her lip tightly, unable to hide her frustration.

However, Harper's emotional turmoil didn't last long because Benjamin didn't give her a chance to relax for a moment.

Less than half an hour after signing the divorce agreement, a post appeared on the local business forum. According to insiders, the Martin Group had just terminated its longstanding partnership with Mitchell's and even halted some projects that were nearing completion.

The post undoubtedly informed everyone that the Martin Group had severed all ties with the Mitchell Group from that moment on.

Previously, there were already rumors about Benjamin and Harper's marriage being in trouble.

However, the involved parties didn't respond, and with time, it gradually faded away.

The situation had escalated from personal issues to affecting the businesses of both families. With the Martin Group initiating the termination of the partnership, outsiders couldn't help but speculate whether Benjamin and Harper had already divorced.

The more Harper thought about it, the angrier she became, finding it impossible to calm down. Finally, she had no choice but to call Benjamin directly.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable!"

The robotic female voice left Harper staring blankly.

She pressed her lips tightly together, her face unusually stern, and then she contacted Curtis, "Mr. Yost, can you reach Benjamin? What does the Martin Group's termination of their partnership with the Mitchell Group mean?"

"Ms. Mitchell, I'm sorry, but terminating the partnership was Mr. Martin's decision. I'm just following his orders. As for not being able to reach Mr. Martin, he might be on a flight. Sir Martin has been hospitalized."

When Harper arrived at the hospital, Paul had already been moved to a room. Her phone had been off, and Lily couldn't reach anyone, leaving Harper feeling incredibly guilty. "Lily, I'm sorry! How is Grandpa now?"

Lily, ever understanding, took her hand and comforted her, "Don't feel guilty, Paul is okay. He just passed out from a spike in blood pressure due to stress, but he's stable now."
