Chapter 242 Louis Caesar
Hearing this, Martha finally understood why Mrs. Williams was so hostile toward her.
She smiled resignedly and replied politely. "Mrs. Williams, don't worry. I have no such intention."
"Rhys doesn't help others for nothing. You'd better know who you are. I believe you don't want this
thing to end up a scandal either."
Martha was a bit upset. Indeed, Rhys was not a kind person, at least not kind for no reason.
He saved Jimmy because...
Now in retrospect, Rhys asked her to marry him at the beginning.
Then he gave up this condition. Was it because he didn't want to see his family die?
After all, Jimmy and Rhys were somehow related by blood.
But it seemed that was not the whole story.
The next second, Mrs. Williams spoke again and interrupted Martha's thoughts.
"He's my son. I understand very well how he feels for you. Miss Doyle, no... I should call you Mrs.
Harrison. The Williams family won't accept you."
Martha smiled slightly. She looked helplessly at Mrs. Williams, whose eyes were full of warnings.
Mrs. Williams must have thought that Rhys really liked her.
But Martha knew that Rhys approached her just to get revenge on Stefan.
And he was one of the Harrisons. He must have saved Jimmy for that reason.
She couldn't tell Mrs. Williams those facts.
She was just an outsider.
After Martha came back to her senses, she nodded slightly.
"Mrs. Williams, I promise you that Mr. Williams and I are just friends. At most, we are business
partners."
Martha's calmness made Mrs. Williams waver.
Had she misunderstood?
The hostility in her eyes dissipated a little. She looked at Martha with suspicion.
"Are you sure you don't want anything else from him?"
"We are just business partners. I am sure."
Martha replied lightly, then put on a polite smile, and said, "Mrs. Williams, if there is nothing else, I gotta
go. There are things to handle at the company."
Mrs. Williams was stunned, looking at Martha with some scrutiny.
Martha ignored it. She nodded politely, and then left the hospital.
Mrs. Williams looked at Martha's receding figure. Just now...
It seemed that Martha was not interested in her son at all. Was it really just Rhys' wishful thinking?
Or was Martha acting?
...
After Martha left the hospital, she didn't think more about Mrs. Williams.
She was just a random person in Martha's eyes.
She went to choose the evening dress with Jane and then set out for the auction.
An hour later, the car stopped outside a five-star hotel.
The auction was held in a luxurious place, the decoration of which was classy and modern at the same
time, which was refreshing.
The people invited were all prominent in the city. Martha noticed several big shots with just one glance.
She became even more interested in the rich man Jane mentioned.
This person must have a strong background. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many big shots.
If the Doyle Group could be his partner, maybe, as Jane said... it could get rid of the Harrison Group
and become independent again.
Besides... even if she failed to take the project, maybe she would get to know some big shots, which
could be helpful to the Doyle Group as well.
After a while, the auction started...
People sat down in their seats.
The auction was more like a place to showcase the strength of the enterprise.
The organizer must secretly compare the strength of the guests.
Bidding was the most direct way.
After everyone was seated, the lights were set dimmer.
In the next second, a beam of light fell on the conference stage.
Just then, a tall man walked out.
Standing in the light, he was wearing a handmade suit with a priceless cufflink on his sleeve.
His appearance stunned the people present.
Martha's eyes flickered slightly. The man was mixed race. He had a chiseled face and blue eyes.novelbin
And he was handsome.
His eyes were deep-set, making others swoon.
He was tall and muscular with a perfect build.
Jane, who was sitting next to Martha, looked slightly stunned when she saw the man.
He was dazzling no matter where he was. But he could never see her.
He started to speak, and his deep voice was pleasant to the ears.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thanks for coming, I am Louis Caesar."
