Chapter 288 How dare you come here
Meanwhile, outside Martha's room.
Maxwell stood at the door and knocked gently on the door, his face full of worry.
A soft voice came from the room, "Please come in."
Maxwell heard this and slowly pushed open the door to the room.
As soon as he walked in, he saw his daughter sitting next to the window with an easel in front of her, on
which was painted a person he knew too well.
The woman on the portrait had gleaming eyes and a smile in her eyes, as if she was looking and
smiling at him across time and space.
Maxwell was lost in thought, looking at the portrait of his wife not far away, and felt like she was
standing in front of him.
Martha turned her head to look at the familiar figure and spoke softly to interrupt the man's thoughts.
"Dad."
"Your mother has passed away more than ten years ago. I didn't expect you to still remember what she
looked like."
Maxwell looked at his daughter with emotion, his eyes flooded with faint tears.
Martha nodded gently, turned her head to look at her portrait, and said softly, "She is my mother, and I
will not forget her."
She was not Stefan who could forget the most important people.
Or perhaps, she and Jimmy were insignificant people to Stefan.
Martha thought of this, slightly lowered her eyes, which revealed a hint of frustration.
Maxwell, keenly aware of his daughter's mood, asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine."
Martha looked back at her father with a smile.
The latter saw her daughter's forced smile and looked at her, feeling sorry.
After a long hesitation in his mind, he looked at her with a concerned face, "Did something happen to
Stefan?"
Martha shook her head slightly, the smile on her face slowly disappeared, and finally she replied with a
faint smile, "He's fine now."
Maxwell frowned slightly and wanted to ask something more when there was a sudden knock at the
door followed by Melissa's loud voice -
"Martha, it's me, I'm coming!"
"Dad, it's Melissa here."
"Then you guys talk."
Maxwell chuckled and turned to leave Martha's room.
As he was walking out the door, he met Melissa, who even said hello.
After Maxwell left, Melissa quickly entered Martha's room and closed the door behind her.
Melissa turned and looked with some concern at her best friend sitting by the window.
"Are you okay?"
Martha shrugged and replied tersely, "It's fine."
Melissa saw her best friend's sad face and felt sorry.
She knew from Eden that Stefan had lost his memory and was verbally abusive to Martha.
After a minute of pondering, she asked out loud, "Did Stefan hurt you with his words?"
Martha froze, then smiled and said lightly, "It's okay. I no longer cared a long time ago."
When Melissa heard this, she became a bit exasperated.
She sat down angrily in her chair, her unhappy voice resonating throughout the room.
"Although it is excusable that he has lost his memory, but how can he do this to you and the child?"
"He doesn't remember us."
Martha responded faintly, with a weird look flashing across her eyes.
Melissa's anger did not dissipate because of this statement, but rather intensified.
"No matter what, he can't be so harsh on his wife and son!"
"He's a patient. Jimmy and I didn't take what he said personally."
Martha said unconcernedly, with a somewhat cold look on her face.
She wouldn't bother with Stefan. What's the use of bothering with that? After all, they wouldn't be in
contact in the future anyway.
Melissa's eyes widened in annoyance as she asked in annoyance.
"Why not? He hurt you and you just let him off the hook?"novelbin
"What else could I do?"
Martha's mouth showed a light smile and her eyebrows revealed a faint sadness.
Melissa was stunned and was at a bit of a loss for words, but then began to complain unpleasantly.
"Eden has been working hard for Harrison Group, but Stefan didn't appreciate it at all!"
"What happened to Eden?"
Martha frowned slightly, puzzled, and asked.
Since that day she left the hospital with Jimmy, she never went out and stayed at home to paint.
She hadn't heard that Stefan had done anything to Eden, so she was confused when Melissa talked
about it
Melissa frowned and said in an unpleasant voice, "Stefan fired Eden!"
Martha was stunned. She hadn't been out for the past two days, and she hadn't heard Eden mention
the dismissal.
Just how did Melissa know about Eden's dismissal?
When she thought of this, she looked at Melissa, who was still defending Eden, in some confusion, and
suddenly had a bold thought in her mind.
Her best friend, she was not dating Eden, was she?
At this point, Melissa was sitting in her chair, still cursing in anger -
"It's really infuriating. Eden did so much for Harrison Group and yet Stefan dismissed him without giving
a reason."
Suddenly, Martha asked out loud, "Are you ... with Eden?"
"No ... no, how could I possibly be with Eden!"
Melissa denied it without even thinking, but her cheeks flushed suspiciously red.
Martha obviously saw this, and with a light smile on her lips, she snickered, "And I wonder who's
starting to blush?"
The woman sitting in front of her heard this and replied with a shy smile.
"We did get together. Do you blame me?"
"What do I blame you for?"
Martha asked in disbelief, and then thought of something and smiled helplessly, "It's good that you're
together."
Melissa heard this and let out a sigh of relief.
"It's good that you don't blame me."
After saying this, she couldn't help but start worrying about Martha again, looking at the latter with a
worried face.
"So what are you going to do about it now, between you and Stefan."
"Let him be."
Martha replied in a light tone, not caring in the slightest.
But Melissa, who knew Martha well, knew that Martha would not show it on the surface, but she must
be uncomfortable in her heart.
Stefan finally woke up, and yet he treated Martha in such a merciless way.
...
The next day, Martha went to Harrison Group early.
Although Stefan was now awake, she still had some business in Harrison Group to handle.
An hour later, Martha entered Harrison Group building on her high heels and rode the elevator straight
to the president's floor.
When she walked into the president's office, Stefan was the only person in the office, and he was
sitting at his desk with his head buried in paperwork.
Stefan heard someone enter and looked up coldly in the direction of the door.
His eyes sank as he saw Martha.
"How dare you come here!"
