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 sdays ago, so your invitation was late." Harper glanced at him. As for the rules he'd given, she'd read them a long tago.
Benjamin asked, "Why didn't you tellabout 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.

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?" "Do you want to?" He pulled her straight into his arms and gently wrapped his arms around her, asking softly in a low, husky voice, "Harper, the shortcut is right in front of you right now. Do you want to find a way to bribe it?" Harper laughed as she said, "Mr. Martin, I don't know what to bribe you with. You're not short of money or things, so I find it so difficult." "Then you can think of something else." "What? Mr. Martin, can you make it clear?" She raised an eyebrow, her expression tinged with wryness.
Benjamin smiled and said in a low voice, "Try saying something nice?" "Is it that easy to bribe Mr. Martin?" Harper narrowed her eyes slightly, her cheeks revealing a distinct smile.
He said, "How do you know if you're not trying?" "Forget it." She shook her head outright.
Benjamin asked in disbelief, "Are you giving up so soon? Harper, didn't your teachers teach you to persevere in everything?" "Of course. But my teachers also taughtthat the cheap is not good. So a bribe that's too easy to get definitely won't geta champion. I think it's better to rely on competence." 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 ance 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 evidencen 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 tfor 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 I ΟΜ investigator I arranged just gaveas well as sprevious 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?"
