Eden didn't understand why Martha focused on this unimportant matter.
"What's the point of saying this now? You should stop Stefan, shouldn't you? Martha, are you so cruel?"
Eden said emotionally and punched the wall.
He was mad that Martha didn't take Stefan's life seriously.
Martha wasn't angry.
She slowly explained, "The grudge between them is rooted in the disputes of their parents. Without figuring out what happened, I won't change anything even if I get there tonight."
"The most urgent task is to solve the issues between them."
Eden suddenly got it.
"The issues between them? Maybe there is some misunderstanding?"
Martha nodded uncertainly, thinking of someone.
"I'm afraid that this thing is not as simple as it looks on the surface. There could be someone behind it."
Her eyes suddenly became cold.
She thought it likely that Stefan had learned Rhys' identity from Gianna, because Giana and Amanda happened to return home shortly before.
Only the elders of the Harrison family knew what happened many years ago.
Plus the fact that Giana provoked her with ill intentions in the hospital, Martha guessed that it was Giana behind it.
...
To confirm her guess, after leaving the hospital, Martha drove to the Harrison Villa, hoping to meet Giana and ask about the whole picture.
In the evening, a woman sat in the living room, looking at the clock from time to time, with no trace of anxiety on her face.
She appeared to be as calm as usual on the outside.
Stefan and Rhys' appointment was getting near. How could she not be worried?
Her nails dug into her palms. Her eyelids kept twitching. She felt that something was about to happen.
At the Harrison Villa.
Giana knew that Martha had come, but she asked the latter to wait in the living room.
She had yet to go downstairs to meet Martha.
She thought of Martha's attitude in the hospital before.
Giana was angry, especially when Stefan drove her back without mercy, which made her feel humiliated.
So, this time she deliberately made Martha wait.
Martha knew Giana's tricks. Yet she remained calm and patient.
Amanda was not as calm as her mother.
After learning that Martha had come, she decided to walk downstairs and show off.
"Wow, isn't this Miss Doyle? You dislike me and my mom, don't you? What brings you here?" A shrill female voice sounded.
She walked downstairs like a hostess, and even stroked the roses at the corner.
It seemed that she was very familiar with the villa as if it had been her own home.
Martha was somehow amused by her behavior.
It'd only been a few days since they returned to the country, and now she started to act like the hostess of the Harrison Villa.
Even she couldn't bear it, not to mention Stefan. Martha guessed that Stefan must have been annoyed during this time.
