The news reports varied. Some commented with sharp words while others showed sympathy for Martha.
Despite the contrasting viewpoints, the stock price of the Harrison Group became marginally higher after the shareholders' meeting.
And it seemed that these different opinions have no bearing on Martha.
Since she entrusted the matter to Eden, she had not paid any further attention to the news and public opinions.
In the house of the Doyle family.
No sooner had Martha got home than she saw her father sitting on the sofa, lost in thought.
It had been three or four hours since the news broke. Her father must have already known the related news about the Harrison Group.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally walked over to sit beside her father, asking a bit nervously,
"Dad, do you think I was wrong?"
Maxwell shook his head and smiled, "You're my girl. I know you will not leave the Harrison Group alone relentlessly."
He knew his daughter best and understood that she was always grateful and repaid kindness.
Stefan saved her life, and thus it was natural for her to take responsibility for his company.
Martha felt more relieved and touched by his father's response and support.
"Dad, thank you."
Maxwell gave Martha an affectionate smile while his heart ached for her.
"You're now in charge of the Doyle Group and the Harrison Group. It's a heavy workload."
"No worries. I will give the company back to Stefan as soon as he wakes up."
Martha replied with a smile, though she looked a bit tired.
Just then, Jimmy came down from upstairs.
When the little boy saw his mommy, his eyes brightened and he exclaimed in delight, "Mommy, you're back!"
Martha smiled and nodded at him. Noticing his eager expression, she couldn't help reminding him.
"Slow down and watch your step."
Soon enough, Jimmy ran over to his mother and jumped into her arms.
He sniffed the pleasant scent of Martha and looked up at her with a grin.
"Mommy, Granny Bianca said I would start kindergarten in two days, and I want mommy and daddy to come with me. Shall we?"
Sadness flickered in Martha's eyes due to Jimmy's request and she dropped her gaze with her lips compressed.
The little guy always hoped his father would be fine. However, Stefan had been a vegetable now, and Martha didn't know how to broach the subject with her son.
Maxwell knew Stefan's condition and understood Martha was in a dilemma.
He smiled and waved to Jimmy, saying in a gentle voice, "Jimmy, come here. Hug me."
Jimmy tilted his head looking at Maxwell and then ran to him.
Maxwell held Jimmy in his arms and stroked his head affectionately, "Good boy, your daddy needs to rest for a while."
The little guy curled his lips and asked in an unpleasant tone, "But how long?"
