Chapter 342 Patrick Hastings
He had a cold expression, with eyes filled with displeasure, but his words carried a profound restraint, as if he
were reluctant to continue venting his anger.
"This is your business, not mine. All | know is that you chose Lauren," Harper said lightly.
"Harper, do you really want to threatenwith a child?"
Harper remained silent, which was a tacit agreement.
He thought deeply for a while and then he suddenly stood up and walked towards the desk. His voice, cold and
indifferent, followed. "The child is in your belly. | can't stop you from doing anything, but Harper, you should
know that your grandmother is now on my territory. So | advise you not to act recklessly, or you will regret it
bitterly!"
Harper froze, but her expression remained indifferent. She smirked, "Benjamin, if you dare, then go ahead and

The two parted ways in discord.
After Harper left the office, Benjamin overturned everything on the desk, pulling at his tie forcefully, his mood
extremely sour.
Curtis, outside, heard the commotion, and the several secretaries exchanged glances, asking quietly, "Mr. Yost,
do you want to go in and check?"
Curtis's expression was somewhat heavy, but ultimately, he had to knock on the door and enter.
The office was in a mess, and Curtis dared not even breathe heavily. He even regretted entering the office.
He carefully walked in and started cleaning up while asking, "Mr. Martin, Mrs. Martin... What happened to her?"
Benjamin's face remained cold, his narrowed eyes faintly saying, "Go and investigate. Find out immediately who
she met and what she did today." Curtis nodded quickly and immediately went to investigate.
The results cout quickly, and Curtis said, "Mrs. Martin went to the hospital to see Mrs. Eleanor at noon
today. As for whom she met 'm not too sure."
"Go and ask if Lauren went to the hospital today."
“All right."
Curtis investigated with Lauren's mother and soon got an answer.
When he truthfully reported to Benjamin, the man's face turned as cold and heavy as the weather in winter.
The indifference in his eyes was
profound as he said coldly, "Lauren hasn't gained much exposure since she signed under the Martin Group
recently. Let's use her relationship with Patrick Hastings to attract media attention. Otherwise,
how can
We bring profit to the Martin Group?"
Curtis paused for just a second before quickly nodding and going to carry out the orders.
After the news of Lauren's

was because Patrick was known for his extravagant and promiscuous lifestyle, while bauren had always been
seen as a clean and kind-hearted figure, especially due to her past relationship with Benjamin.
Now, her unclear relationship with Patrick made it hard for the public not to think that she was with him for
money.
Fans kept demanding explanations from her, constantly tagging her on Twitter to deny any relationship.
But Lauren could do nothing but play dead, as offending Patrick would not bode well for her either.
The incident immediately trended and stayed on the list for several days.
During this time, due to the rift between Harper and Benjamin, Harper temporarily moved to the apartment
where Mrs. Eleanor lived.
Both of them ignored each other, and Harper still spent most of her teither at the company or at the
hospital.

Perhaps it was fate. Mrs. Eleanor's situation also received good news during this time.
