Chapter 246 Always Self-righteous
Martha shook Stefan's hand off outside the auction hall as soon as she walked out.
"I gotta go."
Then she turned around and walked towards the auction hall, lost in thought.
She wondered if Louis would still be willing to cooperate with the Doyle Group after the matterearlier.
However, Stefan strode to catch up with her and seized her arm. Martha had to stop in her tracks.
"You can't go back."
Frowning unhappily, Martha didn't turn around but retorted coldly, "Who do you think you are torestrain me?"
"I'm your husband," Stefan replied angrily. He was riled up whenever he recalled what justhappened in the auction hall.
A mocking smile touched Martha's lips. "Mr. Harrison, I won't be your wife if you're willing to divorceme," she said ironically.
"Dream on! I'll never divorce you. Never!" Stefan growled, staring at her with stern eyes.novelbin
Martha overlooked his anger and shook his hand off forcibly. "Even though we haven't divorced, youcannot restrict my freedom."
She walked towards the auction hall again.
After the conversation, she became more determined to cooperate with Louis.
She would not be so passive when confronting Stefan only when the Doyle Group becameindependent from the Harrison Group.
Seeing her quicken her steps, Stefan exuded a cold aura, and his pupils shrank.
Frowning sullenly, he could hardly repress his fury again.
The next second, his cold voice sounded, stopping Martha from walking forward.
"Don't forget the Doyle Group belongs to me now."
Stefan gazed at her sternly.
Before Martha retorted, he added, "I have the final say in my company. I don't allow you to return."
His words sent Martha into a rage. She clenched her fists tightly, her eyes full of flames of fury.
She knew Stefan was always self-righteous and never changed.
Martha turned around, gazing at him determinedly. "I've never forgotten about it. Also, as I said, I'lltake the Doyle Group back sooner or later," she replied indifferently and calmly.
Stefan's eyes darkened. He also clenched his fists tightly.
A while later, he said hoarsely, "If you want, I can directly transfer the Doyle Group in your name."
"Unnecessary."
Martha stared at him coldly, and Stefan couldn't see other emotions on her face.
With the refusal, she turned away.
She was determined to win cooperate with Louis no matter what.
Standing rooted to the spot, Stefan stared after her and didn't move for long. H
e realized Martha had no longer his obedient, gentle wife as before.
The more he wanted to stop her from doing something, the more eagerly she would do it.
His eyes darkened and his face was sullen.
...
At 10 PM, Martha returned to the Doyle Manor after the banquet.
When she entered the living room, she saw Bianca talking to Maxwell on the sofa.
Maxwell could speak normally in the previous half month after the treatment. Occasionally, he couldmove around.
Martha felt lucky.
"You are back, Martha," Bianca said to her gently. Martha smiled at her in response.
"Why are you still up?" she asked.
"We're waiting for you."
Maxwell noticed the tiredness on Martha's face, feeling sorry but helpless.
His daughter wouldn't have been burned out if he hadn't been too sick to work in the company.
Bianca asked, "Are you hungry? I'll make you a late supper."
"No, thanks, Bianca. I'm not hungry."
Martha walked to Bianca, satisfied with the harmony in her home. She returned home late at night,but her family was waiting for her, which made her happy and sweet.
Bianca seemed to think of something and said, "By the way, I prepared a kid's room for Jimmy. Ihope he'll like it."
Jimmy could be discharged from the hospital in a few days. Then he could stay in the Doyle Manor.
Therefore, Bianca prepared everything and looked forward to his arrival.
"His room is in the corner of the second floor, opposite yours, Martha. There's a toy room next to hisbedroom. Will he like it?"
"Of course, Bianca. That's perfect. Thank you," Martha said cutely, pressing her head againstBianca's shoulder.
Her answer made Bianca's smile more widely. She looked up at Maxwell and said, "Martha, can youkeep your father company for a while? I'll cook you some pasta."
"Thank you so much, Bianca."
Maxwell and Martha were left in the living room. Martha could tell her father looked relaxed andjoyful.
After the treatment, Maxwell had become much better and could speak like a common person.
Martha believed he would ultimately recover soon.
Looking at her, Maxwell asked gently, "How's everything in the Doyle Group? Are you all right withthe work?"
Martha nodded slightly, staring at him with a solemn look.
"Everything is fine, Dad. I... I have some thoughts about the company's future, so I want to talk toyou."
"What are they?"
Maxwell sat upright, staring at her thoughtfully.
It was the first time they'd talked company business face-to-face. Although Maxwell had stoppedworking in the company, he always cared about its development.
He knew Martha had good ideas and wouldn't let him down.
"I met a rich businessman from abroad, and he has recently settled down in town. I plan tocooperate with him. If our cooperation project succeeds, the Doyle Group will probably beindependent from the Harrison Group and become a listed company."
"A rich businessman?"
"Yes."
Speaking of which, Martha asked, "Dad, have you ever heard of Louis Caesar before?"
The name made Maxwell frown slightly, a glint flitting across his eyes.
