I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296 Bribe

"What? Don't you have confidence in yourself?"

"Of course not."

"Since it's not, why don't you sign up for it?"

Benjamin was obviously waiting for her to nod.

Harper said, "Benjamin, seriously, you're late."

"What?"

"I decided to participate some days ago, so your invitation was late."

Harper glanced at him. As for the rules he'd given, she'd read them a long time ago.

Benjamin asked, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"Benjamin, this is my company's business. I could have kept it from you. After all, it is considered confidential, isn't it?" She smiled lightly with a few inquiries.

He gazed at her. In a low voice, he asked, "So you plan to keep it from me forever?"

"I don't know. Maybe I'll show you off when I win the title."

"Fine, I'll wait then."

Harper didn't think he'd agree so directly as if she could actually win the title.

Harper asked, "Do you believe I can win?"

"Do you want to?"

"Everyone who participates in this contest wants to, right?"

"But you have a shortcut. Do you want to choose it?" He reached out to caress her face, his deep eyes filled with a faint smile.

Harper asked, "What kind of shortcut?"

"Can't you see that?" He narrowed his eyes, his voice low. "Can't you see that in front of your eyes?"

"Do you want to be bribed by me?"

She said it seriously, but the smile under her eyes was clear for Benjamin to see.

After she said the last word, Benjamin lifted his hands straight up and held her face to kiss her on the lips.

Because of this incident, Harper's dependence on Benjamin slowly deepened invisibly. The relationship between the two also seemed to be getting closer.

Harper was officially in full preparation for the competition once she recovered physically. But the matter didn't end there, and Benjamin was still looking into it.

In fact, Benjamin had checked out the Mitchell family without Harper's knowledge. Although Harper believed in the Mitchell family, he did not. He only believed in evidence. However, the results showed that the Mitchell family had nothing to do with this.

After that, Benjamin had Curtis check out the new directions, estimating that it was about time for the results to be available.

At that moment, the office door was opened.

Curtis looked a little flustered as he walked in with a white envelope of paper. He whispered, "Mr. Martin, this is the photo that the private investigator I arranged just gave me as well as some previous surveillance video footage."

Curtis put the envelope on the desk and pushed it in front of Benjamin.

Looking gloomy, Benjamin glanced faintly at Curtis and asked in a deep voice, "How did it turn out?"
