"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 the shareholder meeting today?"
As Giana finally came back to life, she narrowed her eyes slightly and then looked at Martha benignly 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. I don'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 for the 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 her side. 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 a vegetable?"
"Now, the company's stocks have been falling due to him. If I don't stand out and become the backbone 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 its partners would be terminated, which would lead to a lack of funds, and the company would be devoured by other competitors.
Martha cast a respectful glance at Giana and lowered her head before speaking in a confident and composed tone, "Giana, please rest assured that I will take full responsibility for this matter and help the Harrison Group pass this crisis."
Deliberately, Giana looked at Martha in shock, "But I heard that you and Stefan are getting a divorce, aren't you?"
Martha furrowed her brows slightly and looked at Giana with her lips compressed, waiting for her to continue.
Soon, Giana spoke, "I know you and Stefan are having problems in your marriage, and you always want a divorce. Now that Stefan is in such a condition, your leaving has no ground for blame. After all, 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 with Giana.
However, it occurred to him that Martha had told him to endure, and thus he managed to restrain himself.
As the shareholders in the conference room heard about the divorce, they could not help but start whispering 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 leave him alone."
"No worries. No matter how difficult it is, I will work it out." Giana seized the time and declared her importance to the Harrison Group.
Martha looked into Giana's eyes inscrutably, thinking that this woman was full of cunning and deceit.
