Female Novel
Chapter 112 So Hard-hearted Now
The police came the next day. They said that Joann's kidnapping and suicide could only be ruled asan attempted murder and a suicide to escape punishment. Since the mastermind of the crime had committed suicide, this case was closed. And everyone was fine with it. This thing had a certain effect on residents who were living on this island and this developingproject. At last, Rhys and Stefan agreed that they should postpone this project after discussion. In the afternoon, they were on the way back, sitting on the yacht and looking at each other without aword. A group of reporters soon surrounded them when they got off the yacht at the Kongan dock. They were all holding up their microphones and asking about the accident this time- "Mr. Harrison, would this suicide affect the development area?" "Mr. Williams, would you call off the cooperation with the Doyle Group?" "The victim is the has-been model Joann. We heard that she committed suicide to escapepunishment. Mrs. Harrison, rumor has it that you two don't get along. What do you have to say foryourself about this accident?"For these questions, they all remained silent and didn't answer. Those reporters were pushing, shoving, and cramming around there because they all wanted first-hand news. Stefan walked to Martha and then blocked all those reporters and questions for her with his tallbody. Meanwhile, Hollie, who was behind Stefan, stumbled and almost fell because no one protected her. She kept her head down with grudges, jealousy, and hatred in her eyes. She thought, 'Martha wouldn't even be here if the plan worked.' When Hollie was lost in thought, the crowd of reporters crowding in on Martha asked Martha again. "Mrs. Harrison, what do you think about Joann's suicide?"
Martha thought, 'What do I think? It's not like I am the one that committed suicide.'Martha's eyes flashed with coldness. She then looked up calmly at those reporters who asked hardquestions. "I am in no position to get involved in this case, nor can I give any opinion. The police will take careof it at large. As for whether the suspect committed suicide or got killed by someone else, I believethe police will give us a satisfactory answer eventually." Her businesslike and yet not juicy reply disappointed those reporters. Martha took a look at the reporter blocking in front of her and said coldly, "Please move aside. Yougot in my way." Those reporters were dumbfounded at first and then all stood aside to get out of the way. Seeing that Martha had a tough attitude, they turned and stared at Hollie who was standing aside. They changed their target and started asking questions and started to ask Hollie questions. Hollie got annoyed by their questions but she had to pretend to be nice. Meanwhile, Rhys who was standing not far away stared at Martha. His face darkened when he saw Stefan escorting his wife away. Martha didn't appreciate Stefan's kindness. But for Rhys, it was still quite unpleasant to see themwalk together. Then Rhys sneered as if he was laughing at himself. He thought, 'Do I really have feelings for her?' He admitted that Martha showed many good attributes four years later, and men would befascinated by her without realizing it. But, four years ago, Martha was hurt so deeply. He was afraid that she wouldn't fall for anyoneagain. ... After getting in the car, Stefan told the driver to get back to the Harrison Villa. They didn't talk in the car. And Martha kept staring outside the window. The car stopped outside theHarrison Villa half an hour later. Martha pulled the car door open, grabbed her suitcase in fatigue, and then turned to walk towards
the Harrison Villa. Stefan walked forward in strides and took over the suitcase from her hand. "Let me do it." Martha, who was standing in front of him, shot a cold glance at him and pressed her lips withoutsaying a word. After getting upstairs, Martha took over the suitcase and was about to get into her room after sayingthanks to him. But his tall body stood right in front of her, without the slightest intention of backing down. Martha lowered her eyes, her tone of voice cold with a touch of impatience, "Mr. Harrison, I wannago rest in my room." Stefan slightly frowned when he heard her words and saw her face looking tired and wan, andasked, "Are you okay?" He wondered if all that had happened on the island would affect her mental health and her physicalcondition. Even if her cancer could be cured, she still had to take medicine for the rest of her life and shecouldn't get too excited. Last time she almost... novelbin
