Lauren smiled. When she was about to answer, Rue immediately stopped her and signaled her to shut up.
But Lauren said, "It is alright. There is no other reason but because Benjamin is a very nice person. Even if a romantic relationship isn't feasible, our bond as best friends will endure. Our mutual desire is for each other's well-being and happiness."
"Ms. Davis, you are very generous. Does Ms. Mitchell know about your relationship?"
"Of course, she does. I hope that Benjamin and Harper will always be blissful, and I'll always extend my best wishes to them. However, there were some misunderstandings between us in the past. Harper once considered divorce, but we managed to resolve it. They're doing well now. I hope you won't disturb them."
Instantly, the reporters at the scene grasped the most important information in Lauren's words.
One of the reporters asked, "Ms. Davis, do you mean that Ms. Mitchell has asked for a divorce?"
Lauren kept smiling, "I said that her actions were based on a misunderstanding between us. But I persuaded her, and the misunderstanding was resolved. We're friends now. I'm leaving because of some tasks. I will treat you to a meal when the accident is cleared up."
Lauren quickly got into the car while the reporters stopped asking questions.
Sitting in the car, Rue looked at her. "Lauren, you shouldn't have made those remarks or even talked to the reporters. You will get yourself into trouble."
"I told the truth, and I didn't disclose anything inappropriate. Besides, the Martin Group and Benjamin are in trouble now, so of course, I have to clarify it with the reporters."
Lauren didn't think she had done anything wrong. What she said was for Benjamin's sake.
As for Harper, she could only beg for luck.
Lauren sneered complacently.
Then, she closed her eyes, put on the eye mask, and leaned on the back seat to rest.
After taking a glance at her worriedly, Rue grabbed her phone and sent a message secretly.
At the Martin Group, Benjamin was dealing with the company's other project issues in the office when Curtis pushed the door anxiously and walked in. Benjamin glared at him and warned, "Why are you so flustered?"
"Lauren went to the hospital and encountered a group of reporters. Subsequently, she made some unsubstantiated statements to them. I just received a message from Rue, but she couldn't confirm the specific reporters."
Benjamin immediately put down the pen and documents in his hand before checking the time with a cold expression. "Contact the media and reporters who have a good relationship with the Martin Group to inquire about it right away. No matter what the request is, get the conversation and review it."
"Okay. I'll contact them now."
"Go there yourself."
"Yes."
Benjamin was furious.
But he didn't expect that things would go viral so fast. In half an hour, the Internet was abuzz with the video and text of Lauren's speech just now. Because someone maliciously edited it, Harper became the culprit.
The video deliberately blamed Harper for causing the accident and shared the idea that Harper did not divorce and tried to get the Martin Group because of the Mitchell Group.
Netizens all expressed that Harper should be held responsible and that others should not pay the price for her actions.
