Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 273

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 treated you so cruelly."

Upon hearing the past again, Martha felt irritated, unwilling to recall those memories. Her face darkened.

Eden knew Stefan had done wrong, but he continued, "Before that happened, he had sent me abroad to look for other donors whose bone marrows could match Hollie's. I realized he wouldn't let you 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 was determined 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 committed suicide 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't marry Hollie or legally cut off your relationship. After you returned to town, he knew about Jimmy and 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 best to make it up for you."

Eden believed Stefan would still risk his life to push Martha away and protect her if the accident happened again.

...

After ending the call, Martha peered out the window in a daze. When Jane entered the room, she saw Martha was at a loss.

Martha was brought back to her senses. "Giana will hold a general meeting with the shareholders of the Harrison Group tomorrow. She'll probably take over the Harrison Group," she said in a low voice.

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 take back 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 excellent opportunity.

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 take the 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 without doing 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' general meeting 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 know what she wants?" she asked.
