Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 161

After the sentence, Hollie still looked in a trance. She didn't seem to care about facing the death penalty.
Libby's sentence was then announced.
She would be held in prison for five years.
Lilly was relieved from her anxiety the moment she heard it.
Five years wasn't long.
That mysterious guy had promised to make her lead an easy life in prison.
She would just take it as a long vacation.
Standing there, Martha noticed Libby's relieved expression, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
In her opinion, Hollie did so many evil things because Libby had been helping her.
Libby was a good friend of Hollie's mother, and there must have been other reasons for her to turn Hollie in, more than just to reduce her own sentence.
What more did she not know?
Martha looked down, lost in thought,
Walking out of the court, Martha watched as Maxwell and Bianca got into the car. Maxwell must be tired today. Fortunately, Bianca was there and she didn't need to worry much about him.
She looked at the time, and was about to return to the company.
When Stefan and Eden came out, they saw Martha waiting for the car.
Eden glanced at the man standing beside him, who had been staring at Martha and looking slightly lonely.
Hollie was sentenced to death, and she deserved it.
Stefan felt sad because he had once hurt Martha so deeply but didn't know it.
Eden could not help but ask when he saw Stefan do nothing, "Don't you want to offer her a ride?"
Stefan pursed his lips and made no reply.
A while later, he said, "She will not accept any kindness from me now."
Eden heard his hoarse voice filled with remorse.
Yes, it was true that Martha would not accept Stefan's kindness now.
But as an outsider, there was nothing he could say about this.
Eventually, he shook his head.
As she stood there, Martha noticed the two men who were watching her.
Her eyes did not linger on them. For her, they were just strangers.
If Jimmy had not needed Stefan's help, Stefan and she would never have had anything to do with each other.
Soon, a taxi pulled up in front of Martha.
Stefan watched as she got into the car that soon drove away, his eyes dark.
She did not even spare a glance at him.
Eden saw this, patted Stefan on the shoulder and asked, changing the subject, "How's Jimmy?"
"Still doesn't want to see me."
Stefan's voice was low. He had been waiting outside the hospital room for two days and didn't get to see Jimmy again.
Stefan smiled self-mockingly. He was the cause of his broken family.
Half an hour later, Martha arrived at the company.
She had just sat down in the office when she saw Jane bring in a document which needed her to browse through.
"This was sent by the Williams Group in the morning. It seems to be a new cooperation project."
With that, Jane laid the document on the table, and Martha, with a nod, looked through the document on the table.
The previous cooperation project of the island development was good, but it had to be suspended because of Joann's death.
In fact, the main reason for her to work with Rhys on this project was to give Hollie a blow and get the support of some shareholders of the company.
Now that Hollie was out of the picture and the company returned to her, the internal strife was over.
But it was just a start.
She had to keep working with Rhys. Because what she needed to do now was to take back the real power over the company.
To fight against Stefan, she could only choose the equally powerful Williams Group as her ally.
And in the subsequent cooperation, she had to take the biggest projects.
The new collaborative project on the document was both lucrative and promising.
Martha smiled. Rhys surely knew what she wanted the most.
"I like this cooperation project. Make an appointment to sign a contract with Mr. Williams."
Jane nodded, knowing that Martha was determined to get it.
"Yes, Ms. Doyle."
She turned around and was about to go back to her desk.
At this moment, Martha thought of something and called to stop Jane.
"By the way, I need you to investigate Libby. I want to know about her past."
Libby? Jane was stunned when she heard this name and a strange look flashed across her eyes, and she asked, "Didn't she plead guilty already?"
Martha answered, "Yes, she was sentenced to five years."
"Why investigate her then?"
Jane looked back at Martha, and saw her frowning slightly and shaking her head.
Her finger tapped on the table as she said thoughtfully, "Somehow, I got a feeling that there's more to her."
Jane's hands were unconsciously clenched at her sides.
"Why?"
"She wanted Hollie to die more than I do."
Jane pursed her lips and asked no more questions. She was silent for a moment, then nodded, turned and left the office.
