Chapter 272 Something She Didn't Know
Since Bianca told him Stefan had woken up, Jimmy couldn't wait to see him.
With a bitter smile, Bianca replied, "Jimmy, you are always a good boy. When your father is so fragile,
you cannot worry him."
"Let's visit him a few weeks after he gets better. He can play games with you then."
Jimmy nodded in agreement, feeling relieved. He believed his father would be well and would have fun
with him soon, as Bianca said. He confirmed he still had a daddy.
Curling up his lips into a smile, Jimmy had the unconcealed joy on his face.
After returning to her bedroom in the evening, Martha messaged Rhys after considering it for several
hours.
[Stefan's status is too complicated. It's difficult to predict when he'll wake up and if he will wake up. The
doctor asked us to be prepared for the worst-case scenario. He would probably become a vegetable.]
After sending the message, Martha stared at the phone screen in a daze. Her grip on the phone
tightened subconsciously.
She believed Rhys must have been waiting for Stefan's news but didn't wish others to know it.
...
A few days later, the news that Stefan had become a vegetable raised a mighty uproar in the town and
went viral. All the netizens discussed it. Meanwhile, the Harrison Group's stock price dropped abruptly.
[The president of the Harrison Group has become a vegetable. Will he has the chance to wake up?]
[Stefan is in a coma. What will happen to the Harrison Group?]
[The loving president of the Harrison Group risked his life to save his wife but got injured, becoming a
vegetable.]
Martha browsed the news titles and easily figured out it was spread by Giana.
Recalling how heartbroken she looked in the hospital that day, Martha felt it was too ironic.
When Martha and Bianca were on the scene, Giana wept sadly.
However, in a blink, she informed the reporters Stefan had become a vegetable and spread the news.
Martha could tell Giana did so to panic the shareholders in the Harrison Group.
Stefan became a vegetable, so Giana thought she was the only one who could take charge of the
Harrison Group.
Thinking of that, Martha squinted, her eyes dark.
The vibration from her phone brought her back to the present.
Martha checked the caller ID and found Eden was calling.
Frowning, she swiped to answer. Eden immediately spoke anxiously, "Martha, have you seen the
news?"
"Eh," Martha replied, waiting for him to continue.
"After learning Stefan had become a vegetable, the Harrison Group's shareholders had discussions
and planned to find a new president and chairman of the board. The Harrison Group's business greatly
impacts the economic lifeline of the whole city, so there must be a leader. I... I can't do anything now."
Martha was silent for a few seconds and asked icily, "Who was the first one making trouble?"
Eden heaved a sigh. "Do you know Stefan has an aunt named Giana Harrison?"
"Did she ask the shareholders to vote for a new CEO?" Furrowing her eyebrows, Martha looked at a
spot in the room and her eyes were chilling.
"Right. Giana wants to hold a general meeting of the shareholders as the Harrison. She'll meet several
major shareholders."
His words made Martha frown more deeply. She didn't expect Giana to completely expose her ambition
at this moment, guessing Giana must have been waiting for this day for a long time.
After a thought, Martha asked, "Do you have any ideas to stop her?"
"I'm not one of the Harrisons, so I'm afraid I cannot help Stefan this time."
Before Stefan was injured, Ed used to attend some occasions on his behalf.
After everyone learned Stefan had become a vegetable, no one was afraid of Eden who didn't have the
real power.
No doubt, Giana, as one of the Harrisons, would be always a better candidate than Eden.
Martha's hands clenched tightly. She looked annoyed. Of course, Eden's words made sense. He was
only an outsider, so he couldn't win against Giana, a Harrison family member.
Yet Martha didn't want Giana to gain control of the Harrison Group when Stefan was still in a coma.
Martha asked, "Is there any other way?"
In fact, another two persons were also the Harrisons--Rhys and Jimmy.
However, neither could stand out at this moment.
Eden immediately replied in a solemn tone, "Of course. You are the only one who can help Stefan
prevent the Harrison Group from felling into Giana's hands now."
"Me? How can I compete against her?" Martha frowned.
She never got along with Stefan. Especially after she returned to town, everyone knew they were
divorcing soon.
Therefore, she didn't think she had the right to compete for the Harrison Group against Giana.
"I'm afraid it won't work. Everyone has known I wish to divorce him for a long time."
"Yes, Martha. You can. Although you always want to divorce Stefan, you haven't got the divorce
decree. Therefore, your relationship is still legally protected."
"I'm only his wife. The Harrison Group..."
Eden knew what Martha was worried about. In fact, he called her to convince her to stand out.
The ray of hope was small, but Eden wanted to try.
Otherwise, Stefan's efforts in the past years would be in vain.
Martha's eyes darkened. She planned to divorce Stefan after returning to town. If she got involved in
the Harrison Group's affairs, they would have more connections with each other.
Heaving a sigh, she closed her eyes. The scene where Stefan protected her in the amusement parknovelbin
appeared in her mind again.
Although she promised to give him a chance in front of his bed, it was only because she wanted to
encourage him to survive.
She still hadn't been ready to forgive Stefan and reconcile with him.
Eden didn't receive her response, realizing she was hesitant and understanding why.
Considering for a few seconds, he chose to tell Martha things she didn't know. "Martha, there are things
you might never know if I don't tell you."
