Chapter 176 Pretend to Agree
Martha pursed her lips and looked at Rupert with a little confusion in her eyes.
She had never thought about this question.
She didn't know if she would have chosen Rupert without Stefan.
But now, she knew one thing...
Other than Jimmy, she couldn't love anyone.
Martha's silence pierced Rupert's heart like a sharp knife.
But he still smiled gently at her, "I've been waiting for you."
Martha lowered her dark eyes.
She knew that Rupert was waiting for her, but she... didn't know how to face it.
...
After Martha came out of the hotel, her mind was a mess and she had no one to talk to. Afterthinking about it, she went to Melissa.
Melissa quit her job at the bar after the incident and concentrated on writing novels at home.
Being a writer was Melissa's favorite career. She had been writing stories since high school.
The small apartment that Melissa lived in reminded Martha of the days when they were stillstudents.
Entering the room, Martha casually sat on the sofa.
Melissa brought two bottles of red wine and said with a smile, "We haven't had a drink together for along time."
After two or three glasses of wine, Martha told Melissa about her recent troubles.
Melissa sighed resignedly, analyzing the situation, slightly tipsy.
"In my opinion, you should forget about Stefan. He's a scumbag. But Rhys... It's obvious that hewants to marry you for a reason. You got to think carefully about it."
"As for Rupert... although he is nice and I am also his friend. I have to say that he can't help saveJimmy."
Martha looked frustrated, pursed her lips, and said nothing.
She understood what Melissa said.
All she wanted was Jimmy's health, but marrying Rhys was the only means to save Jimmy.
The next second, Melissa thought of something and interrupted Martha's thoughts...
"Why don't you pretend to agree to Rhys and then withdraw from the marriage after Jimmy'ssurgery is over."novelbin
After finishing speaking, she looked triumphant, thinking that she had made a good suggestion.
Martha smiled helplessly, "Rhys is not a fool. How could he allow that?"
Melissa fell silent and looked sad again, "So what do you think of this? "
"He knew that Stefan would not let go. Now he deliberately made such a request. In my opinion, histarget is not me, but Stefan."
After Martha said this, she pinched the space between her brows wearily.
She didn't care about Rhys or Stefan.
However, she became the subject of a battle between the two.
This feeling was annoying, but she could do nothing.
Melissa was also annoyed. But she couldn't figure out why Rhys would act against Stefan.
Was there something they didn't know?
"Rhys... and Stefan were not enemies, were they?"
Enemies?
Martha frowned slightly, looking at Melissa suspiciously.
As her good friend, Melissa could naturally understand the doubt in her eyes.
So Melissa listed out all the dramatic things she had seen...
"Two CEOs are having a fight. If it's not for conflict of interest, the reason could be a private feud.It's a common storyline in novels and TV dramas. Maybe there is a family feud between them, or..."
"Or what?"
Melissa laughed suddenly, and said half-jokingly, "Maybe they are half-brothers. Anyway, it'sdefinitely not as simple as it seems on the surface."
When Martha heard this, her eyes darkened and her expression gradually became serious.
Family feud? There seemed to be little connection between the Harrison family and the Williamsfamily.
As for...
Could Stefan and Rhys be half-brothers or something?
Martha didn't speak for a long time. Melissa shrank her neck, and asked in a low voice, "What'swrong? Why do you keep staring at me? "
Why do you suspect that they are half-brothers?"
Martha frowned. Stefan was the only son of the Harrison family, while Rhys was the only son of theWilliams family. How could they possibly be brothers?
Melissa didn't know what Martha was thinking. She waved her hands leisurely and answered with asmile.
"It's a common storyline in novels. I've been writing this kind of stuff recently."
Hearing this, Martha looked down slightly.
Some clues came to her mind, but they did not meet either of the points Melissa had made.
But...
Her pupils constricted. She thought of something and immediately put down the wine glass in herhand, took out her phone, and Googled Rhys' information.
She had checked it before, but the information was something general.
It was only said that Rhys was the only son of the Williams family. He was accidentally lost when hewas five years old and was found by the Williams family after ten years.
Mr. Williams and Mrs. Williams returned with their son and loved him very much.
There was no report or news about the ten years when Rhys was missing.
Her intuition told her that there must be something about Rhys that she didn't know, and that wasthe key.
Melissa watched Martha's knitted brows, and couldn't help looking at her phone.
"Rhys had been lost for ten years? Wow! So after ten years, they found their son. So dramatic... Doyou think something happened during the ten years?"
A novelist never lacked imagination.
The unrecorded decade was enough for Melissa to write a million-word novel.
Martha pursed her lips, her eyes darkened, but she said nothing.
Who knew what happened during the time? She needed more detailed information about Rhys.
She remembered...
The orphanage Rhys took her to last time.
Could that be the place where he was taken in?
