I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 494 The Truth

"I know, and I understand, but I don't regret anything. I really don't. Harper, I don't regret it at all. So, please don't feel sorry for me anymore, okay?"

Frank's tone remained calm throughout. Especially when he was being honest with Harper, he showed no sign of regret or sorrow. On the contrary, he seemed to feel a sense of relief.

Harper knew he had been good to her, and she also knew that he had long guessed that she was aware of the truth and had been tracking him. That was why he had planned today's birthday party. She didn't answer his question but asked instead, "When did you know I suspected you?"

He answered truthfully, "For quite some time now, probably since you started testing me."

Harper furrowed her brows, finding it hard to believe. "If you knew I suspected you, why did you deliberately take me to the construction site to see you meet Emery?"

"Harper, I've told you before that if you want to know, I won't hide anything from you. I haven't lied to you. These are my true thoughts."

He spoke with great seriousness, but Harper felt no joy.

Her response made Frank even more anxious as he asked, "Harper, are you angry with me?"

"No," she said, "As long as you feel good."

Frank fell into a brief silence, his eyes determined, then spoke slowly. "Harper, I've told you before, you don't need to feel any pressure. It was me, and I admit it. I won't let anyone take the blame for me." "Frank, do you think I'm doing this because I'm afraid you'll drag me down?"

He replied weakly, "That's not what I meant."

Harper glared at him and asked, "You still haven't answered my question. Why did you do this? Can't you tell me the truth? You said you'd tell me anything I wanted to know." Frank stayed silent.

He lowered his gaze, somewhat hesitant and at a loss for words.

This made Harper even more

anxious as she growled, "Will you speak up? What are you hiding?

We've been friends for so many years and you don't trust me? You claimed you'd tell me anything. So, now I'm asking you, give me an answer."

"Then please don't be angry, and don't think too much, okay?"

His gaze and question made Harper unconsciously furrow her brows, pondering over what he meant.

Frank narrowed his eyes and spoke

softly. "I did all this to fight for justice

on your behalf because Benjamin treated you badly, because he doesn't love you. You're pregnant and he still has an affair with Lauren. How can he treat you like this? It's not fair to you. He doesn't love you but won't let you go and even threatens to keep you as his wife. It's torture for you, so I don't want to let him off."

Harper was completely overwhelmed.

She thought, "He did all this for me? To fight for this so-called justice, he did all these things?"

This forced kindness made Harper feel a mix of emotions.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

She really didn't need such kindness and protection.

She found it somewhat amusing, looking at Frank, unsure of what to say.

He continued, "Originally, this matter should have been resolved a long time ago, but because of your hesitation, it hasn't been resolved yet. I wanted to use your architect identity to make Benjamin admit that the accident was due to their company's mistake. But you were unwilling, and I couldn't make you."

He looked helpless and mockingly smiled. Harper finally understood why he kept mentioning her architect identity.

It turned out he wanted Benjamin and his company to take responsibility for this.

After hearing this, Harper realized that she really didn't know this friend of hers well.

She thought, "Is he really the gentle and refined Frank?"

Frank asked, "Harper, will you tell him?"
