Chapter 273 It Was too Late for Him
Frowning, Martha wondered what he referred to.
"Back then, if Hollie hadn't cut her wrist to commit suicide and push him, he wouldn't have treatedyou so cruelly."
Upon hearing the past again, Martha felt irritated, unwilling to recall those memories. Her facedarkened.
Eden knew Stefan had done wrong, but he continued, "Before that happened, he had sent meabroad to look for other donors whose bone marrows could match Hollie's. I realized he wouldn't letyou enter the operating room unless he must. However..."
Eden broke off and sighed. Though he knew it was too late to mention those details, he wasdetermined to let Martha know Stefan wasn't utterly ruthless to her.
Martha listened to him quietly and her eyes were slightly moist.
She wondered whether Stefan would send her to the operating table if Hollie hadn't committedsuicide to push him.
What if Eden had found a suitable bone marrow donor? Would Stefan have changed his mind?
"His guilt for you tortured him all through the years after we thought you had passed away. He didn'tmarry Hollie or legally cut off your relationship. After you returned to town, he knew about Jimmyand learned how much you two had suffered in the past few years. He regretted it very much."
"Martha, he's slow in love. When he finally understood it, it was too late for him. Yet he tried his bestto make it up for you."
Eden believed Stefan would still risk his life to push Martha away and protect her if the accidenthappened again.
...
After ending the call, Martha peered out the window in a daze. When Jane entered the room, shesaw Martha was at a loss.
Martha was brought back to her senses. "Giana will hold a general meeting with the shareholders ofthe Harrison Group tomorrow. She'll probably take over the Harrison Group," she said in a lowvoice.
She seemed to talk to Jane as well as to herself.
Jane's eyes lit up. "If the Harrison Group's president is changed, we can take the chance to takeback the Doyle Group's ownership."
Her remark made Martha frown and look back at her.
Martha pressed her lips together and had to admit Jane's words made sense. It was an excellentopportunity.
However, Stefan saved her life. Martha was unwilling to take advantage of his perilous state.
Jane didn't hear her response for a while, furrowing her brows. "Ms. Doyle, don't you want to takethe chance to gain back the Doyle Group?" she asked in confusion.
Martha shook her head and answered sternly, "Of course I want, but not at this moment."
The Doyle Group wasn't her first priority now.
The Harrison Group was critical for Stefan. Martha couldn't sit and watch Giana steal it withoutdoing anything.
Giana had thought she was the only member of the Harrison family.
Martha believed only that man could change the situation.
Thinking of something, Martha pressed her red lips.
...
At the president's office of the Williams Group.
Seeing the woman on the couch, Rhys curled up his lips into an evil smile.
"What brought you here?"
Martha frowned at his playful smile. Then she answered, "Giana will hold a shareholders' generalmeeting tomorrow. Do you know that?"
"Yep," Rhys drawled, straightening his collar.
Martha appeared to be calm. She picked up the coffee mug and sipped the espresso. "Do you knowwhat she wants?" she asked.
Instead of answering her, Rhys stared at her meaningfully and questioned, "What's it up to me?"
Martha furrowed her brows, staring at him sternly.
"Don't you want to do something to stop her?"
"Did you come to ask me to attend the Harrison Group's meeting tomorrow?" The smile on Rhys'lips became a sneer.
He mocked, "Do you want me to inform everyone I'm an illegitimate son of the Harrison family?Eh?"
Martha shook her head in denial as she didn't mean so.
If she were Rhys, she would also disagree with such a ridiculous suggestion.
"I didn't mean it. I just think... You have the right to know what's going on and to make a choice."
Rhys had a balance in his mind. His blood kinship and hatred were on either side. He knew whichone weighed heavier at this moment.
...
The Harrison Villa.
Amanda looked at her mother on the couch unhappily and asked, "Mom, what are you doing?"
Giana didn't get her and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Pouting, Amanda sat beside her, picked up her phone, tapped to open a piece of news, and heldher phone up before Giana.
"Haven't you exposed the news? Why did you do that?"
There were only four of them in the hospital the previous day. Amanda didn't think Martha and theother mid-aged woman had exposed Stefan's news. Her mother was the only possible onespreading the news to the reporters.
Amanda was upset about Stefan's status, while her mother exposed it to the public.
The Harrison Group's stock price dropped abruptly. Amanda was worried she couldn't marry Stefanany more.
Frowning, Giana glanced at her and snapped, "Are you a retard? He became a vegetable, and itonly did us good. Since it benefits us, why can't I inform the reporters about it?'
Glaring at her, Amanda retorted angrily, "Stefan has become a vegetable. How am I supposed to behis wife? Do you want me to marry a vegetable?"novelbin
Giana pressed her forehead, feeling hopeless.
Seeing that, Amanda wondered if she had mistaken her mother.
After Giana brought her back from abroad, Giana insisted on letting her marry Stefan and lead awealthy life. Amanda wondered if the plan had ended after Stefan had become a vegetable.
Giana took a deep breath to stop herself from shouting abuse.
Rubbing her temples, she replied unkindly, "I adopted you not for making you a rich man's wife."
Amanda stared at her in confusion, wondering what she meant.
She knew Giana was her foster mother. Ten years ago, Giana adopted her from an orphanage.
At that time, Giana had a biological daughter. That girl drowned in an accident, so Giana adoptedAmanda.
When Amanda followed Giana home for the first time, she was shocked as she had never knownsuch a beautiful house existed.
Later, Giana took her to attend different occasions organized by the upper class to get used to thissocial class.
After Giana divorced her husband, she brought Amanda back to the Harrison family.
Giana told her she had a wealthy nephew. If Amanda married him, they both would lead an affluentlife. However, that man had become a vegetable.
Giana continued, her voice bringing Amanda back from her scattered thoughts, "I want you to marryStefan because I want you to help me get the Harrison Group."
"Stefan has become a vegetable now. How am I supposed to help you achieve your goal?" askedAmanda.
