Chapter 276 Grass Widow
"Giana."
Martha called Giana with a respectful tone and led Eden into the conference room.
She showed up here today to prevent the Harrison family from falling into the hands of Giana.
The shareholders present were taken aback by Martha's sudden appearance.
No one had expected her, who had disappeared for a long time, to pop up at this critical moment.
Before Giana could react, Martha took the initiative to ask, "Giana, what is the purpose of theshareholder meeting today?"
As Giana finally came back to life, she narrowed her eyes slightly and then looked at Marthabenignly while feeling vigilant within herself.
"Stefan has managed the Harrison Group for so long, and it pains me to see it in such a state. Idon't think I can sit by anymore."
"I know you love Stefan, but as your niece-in-law, I don't have the heart to see you work so hard forthe company at your age."
A smile lifted the corner of Martha's lips; she looked at Giana standing in front of her calmly.
Although they had always been at odds, they had to maintain a seeming peace at this meeting.
If this fragile peace were to be shattered, the Harrison Group would fall into even greater chaos.
Upon hearing Martha talk about her age, Giana's hands unconsciously clenched into fists by herside. She gritted her teeth but then sighed resignedly on purpose.
"This is life. Who could have predicted that Stefan, such a great man, would end up as avegetable?"
"Now, the company's stocks have been falling due to him. If I don't stand out and become thebackbone of the Harrison Group, I'm afraid that..."
Giana didn't finish her words, but everyone in the conference room knew what she meant.
Indeed, if they didn't elect a new CEO for Harrison Group soon, the company's contracts with itspartners would be terminated, which would lead to a lack of funds, and the company would bedevoured by other competitors.
Martha cast a respectful glance at Giana and lowered her head before speaking in a confident andcomposed tone, "Giana, please rest assured that I will take full responsibility for this matter and helpthe Harrison Group pass this crisis."
Deliberately, Giana looked at Martha in shock, "But I heard that you and Stefan are getting adivorce, aren't you?"
Martha furrowed her brows slightly and looked at Giana with her lips compressed, waiting for her tocontinue.
Soon, Giana spoke, "I know you and Stefan are having problems in your marriage, and you alwayswant a divorce. Now that Stefan is in such a condition, your leaving has no ground for blame. Afterall, I can't force you to stay married and become a grass widow."
Eden, who stood by Martha's side, clenched his fists tightly and almost rushed forward to argue withGiana.
However, it occurred to him that Martha had told him to endure, and thus he managed to restrainhimself.
As the shareholders in the conference room heard about the divorce, they could not help but startwhispering among themselves.
If Martha was about to divorce Stefan, then she wouldn't have the right to stand here.
Naturally, Martha heard their gossip. She frowned slightly and then spoke in a plaintive voice,
"Giana, I admit I used to want to divorce Stefan. But now he has become a vegetable, I can't leavehim alone."
"No worries. No matter how difficult it is, I will work it out." Giana seized the time and declared herimportance to the Harrison Group.
Martha looked into Giana's eyes inscrutably, thinking that this woman was full of cunning and deceit.
Her mind was racing, and she quickly retorted Giana's words, "I appreciate your concern about theHarrison Group. But I will wait for Stefan until he wakes up. After all, he is crucial for the company."
As Martha spoke, she glanced at her watch.
It had been almost half an hour, but Rhys was still nowhere in sight.
However, as she thought it over, she couldn't help smiling with a wry smile.
If Rhys was here now and admitted he was a member of the Harrison family in front of so manypeople, it would be a disaster for the Williams Group.
Giana stood in front of Martha and easily perceived her growing anxiety.
It was no use feeling anxious, and she could not count on Rhys' help since he needed to takecharge of the Williams Group.
Giana raised her eyebrows at Martha complacently, thinking that Rhys would never give her a hand.
If Rhys didn't stand up for her, Martha had no way to prevent Giana though she wanted to. Awoman who was about to divorce Stefan was not worthy of standing here.
Giana's eyes were full of amusement, but she still acted like being tough and consoling Martha."Martha, I understand your hopes, but the doctor says that Stefan may never recoverconsciousness. How can I believe he will come back to me?"
"He will. I promise. And the Harrison family will be fine. You don't have to be concerned about it,Giana."
Martha's eyes grew darker, and her voice grew firmer.
Now that Rhys had no intention of coming, Martha saw no point in continuing the conversation withGiana.
Giana maintained her composure and continued to stare at her, pulling a wry face, "Do you meanthe company is still not in a desperate situation?"
Before Martha said something, she continued, "It's the worst situation. The president of the HarrisonGroup becomes a vegetable while there is no one else who can take charge of it, thus I have tohelp save the company."
Martha compressed her lips and kept silent.
Compared to Giana, who was one of the members of the Harrison family, Martha was only a wifewho wanted to divorce Stefan in the eyes of the shareholders.
Giana noticed Martha's silence and looked even more complacent, but she just went on her speechin a pretentiously resigned tone, "Honey, please understand that I have no choice. I..."
Then Giana even paused due to sobbing and then said, "I can't let the company get beset with thecrisis without doing anything, can I?"
The shareholders nodded. They agreed with Giana on this point.
Martha looked at Giana impassively and kept silent, her hands clenched tightly at her side.
She would not allow Giana to take control of the Harrison Group, and yet Giana almost persuadedall of the shareholders.
Even Eden, standing by her, pulled her sleeves and indicated her with his eyes.
Although Giana harbored some ulterior motive for taking charge of the Harrison Group, now, theremust be someone born in the Harrison family to be the backbone.
Martha knew that Eden wanted her to give in, but she couldn't reconcile herself to giving Stefan'syears of effort to Giana on a silver platter!
She repeatedly clenched her fists and loosened them. Then she took a deep breath and smiled,"Giana, I have to tell you that you're not the only person with Harrison's blood."
People in the room felt confused and looked at each other.
Even Giana was staring at her in shock. Did she still want to take advantage of Rhys, who had notshown up yet?novelbin
She acted like she was astonished and asked with an undoubted voice, "Who else except me?"
Martha nodded seriously and replied calmly, "Do you remember that Stefan has a son?"
