"I just said you were smart, but how come you have no idea now?"
Rhys smiled with contempt while looking at her in a more flippant way.
Martha's face froze as she disliked such a smile.
After a short moment of silence, she said, "I don't quite understand the grudge between you and him. Also, it has nothing to do with me."
If Rhys made things difficult for her because of Stefan, she could only say to him that Stefan's business had nothing to do with her, and he should get his revenge on Stefan directly, instead of picking on her here.
She was just standing here right now as a mother.
Hearing what Martha had just said, Rhys smiled but didn't answer, with a colder look in his long and narrow eyes.
Martha raised her eyes at Rhys and said, word by word, "What do you want? Just say it!"
It had been years since she met Rhys for the first time. Years ago, she knew he approached her with ulterior motives, and now it should be a time for him to come clean.
And it should be the time for Martha to know what his ultimate goal was.
Rhys leaned forward to approach her with a cold smile, lifted her chin with his long slender fingers, and then said articulately, "I want you to marry me."
Her eyes widened in shock when she heard this.
What did he say? Marrying him?
Rhys' husky voice was heard again before Martha could think straight.
"I don't mind dying with you being my wife. So, it's up to you whether to marry me or not."
Martha froze. Her lips moved as she wanted to retort something but she didn't know what to say.
Rhys ignored her shock and then turned and walked towards the sofa with a smile.
He poured himself a glass of wine and said frivolously with his slender hand holding the glass, "Miss Doyle, you are a businesswoman now. I think you know what good it is to be my wife."
"If you marry me, I'll save your kid and I can help you take the Doyle Group back."
Rhys took a sip of wine and said huskily with a bit of temptation, "Just think about it. You get to have an alive and healthy kid, and you get to be rich, which by the way, draws jealousy, and the CEO. I don't see a reason why you don't want to marry me."
Martha held her breath while looking at Rhys with a lot going on in her mind.
She was pretty sure that he was not joking about what he had just said.
But marrying Rhys...
