Hunting for His EX-Wife

Martha was stunned, and she lowered her eyes to cover her complicated feelings.

Maybe he hadn’t heard what she said on the phone. But what could he do even if he had overheard it?

She remained calm and said indifferently, “None of your business.”

With that said, she lowered her head to check the time and stood up, “I’m running late. I must go to the office now.”

Stefan offered to sell her the shares of Doyle Group last night, but she couldn’t afford them for the time being.

Then he told her that she could work in the Doyle Group as Hollie did, and he promised to appoint her as the executive director.

She gave him a quick yes, because the Doyle Group belonged to her father, and she was supposed to be there in the first place.

The next second, Stefan said gloomily and interrupted her, “No rush! Come and have breakfast.”

Martha paused her steps, pursed her lips and didn’t move.

Stefan said lightly, “Have breakfast first, or the deal is canceled.”

Martha put on a straight face and clenched her hands unconsciously.

Stefan was the biggest shareholder of the Doyle Group, and he had the final say in the company.

Anyway, it was just eating breakfast. It wasn’t a big deal.

She unclenched her fists, returned to the dinning table coldly and sat down on the chair.

Soon enough, the housekeeper brought her the breakfast she used to eat a lot, and he’d specially given her a glass of hot milk as she used to like it.

Martha turned around and said to the housekeeper politely, “Sorry. I want coffee.”

Stefan frowned and said lightly, “Morning coffee is bad for your stomach.”

Martha glanced at him out of the corner of her eyes, and found the words sounded quite familiar.

She used to tell him the exact words when she cooked breakfast for him.

But he simply ignored her. To her surprise, he told her the same words.

Martha blinked her eyes slightly, pretended she didn’t hear it and began eating.

Stefan picked up the tissue paper to wipe his hands and said casually, “Later I’ll go to the Doyle Group with you. I’ll hold a shareholders’ meeting and introduce you to all the shareholders.”

Martha took a sip of the coffee and turned him down, “No need. I can handle it.”

But Stefan didn’t listen, “Don’t act the hero. Without me on your side, in no ways would those new shareholders acknowledge your position.”

Martha frowned. In fact, she’d met the new shareholders once, and they all sucked up to Hollie.

It would be more convincing if Stefan was gonna appoint her with the position and notify them. S

So, she agreed with it since it was good for her.

Martha lowered her head and went on eating her breakfast without saying another word.

At 9 AM, a luxury car stopped steadily at the gate of the Doyle Group.

Stefan and Martha got off.

Stefan was handsome and tall, while Martha was in the business wear, looking capable and reliable.

Stefan was going up to the Doyle Group with a poker face, while Martha was wearing a light smile on her face.

“Good morning, Mr. Harrison.” The assistants came to receive him the moment he went in the office building.

They seldom saw Stefan in the Doyle Group since it was purchased by the Harrison Group.

And each time they saw him, he came with Hollie, the current acting president.

But the woman standing beside him today wasn’t Hollie. She was a new face.

Everyone looked at Martha and began whispering.

Ten minutes later, the news that Stefan had brought another woman to the Doyle Group, had spread over the office.

At the door of the meeting room, Hollie was standing there and adjusting her hair with a smile.

She’d got the text message from Stefan’s assistant a few minutes before the meeting, telling her that Stefan would come to Doyle Group and hold a shareholders’ meeting today.

She happily thought he finally wanted to see her again. She could patch things up with him once they met. Thus, she had specially dressed up for it.

However, when she went in the meeting room, she saw Martha sitting next to Stefan.

Hollie was upset. She lowered her eyes and shook with anger. A touch of resentment flashed into her eyes.

She recalled what had happened in the hospital, and swallowed the anger. Then she went into the meeting room with a smile and took a seat.

Stefan was sitting on the master position of the meeting room and looking at the shareholders with a straight face.

Martha sat down next to him. She had red lips and had her hair tied up. She wore a smile and looked pretty cool.

All the new shareholders were unhappy to see Martha again, and they even despised her.

She’d made bold statements not long ago, but she was here in the Doyle Group with Stefan, the CEO of the Harrison Group, which they thought was really ironic.

And the old shareholders just looked at each other and couldn’t feel more embarrassed.

Stefan glanced around the people in the meeting room and said coldly, “Martha Doyle is from the Doyle family, so she’s also the heir of the company.”

“Now I officially appoint her as the executive director of the Doyle Group.”

Hearing it, everyone present looked at each other but dared not say a word.

Hollie was stunned, and glanced at Martha unbelievably.

And the shareholders yielded to Stefan’s majesty and dared not object to it.

Hollie was kinda worried but she didn’t want Stefan to loath her more. So, she put on a smile and broke the silence first, “Martha, it’s great! I’m glad you join the Doyle Group.”

Martha glanced at her indifferently and said nothing in response.

The next second, she stood up, glanced around the shareholders and said, “Since you all have no objection to my appointment, I hereby would like to declare the first thing I’ll do after I take office.”

In a second, all people in the meeting room fixed their eyes on her.

Martha didn’t panic. She just raised her head slightly to look back at them and went on speaking, “There’s a project of land development in Zoozone land. I’m gonna to work with the Williams Group and buy the land, which will be built as the new development zone for environment protection.”

The shareholders heard it and were taken aback. They looked at her in shock.

In fact, they had heard about the land, which was a huge cooperative project. If they won the project, they could make lots of money.

But meanwhile, they’d have to invest big money in it, too. How was it possible that the Williams Group was going to work with the Doyle Group?

One younger shareholder couldn’t help it and asked in a low voice, “Are you serious?”

Martha turned to look at him and said with a smile, “I’ve signed the contract with Mr. Williams. You’ll see.”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Stefan’s eyes looked indifferent, and no one could tell his feelings.

‘Rhys and Martha had made such a big development and reached such an agreement without his knowledge? Seriously? It seemed that Rhys really brought her lots of benefits.’

At those thoughts, Stefan narrowed his eyes slightly and put on a straight face.

“You can’t work with the Williams Group,” Stefan said coldly.

Everyone present at the meeting heard it, held their breath and dared not say one more word.

After all, Stefan was the biggest shareholder and he had the final say in the Doyle Group.

Martha frowned slightly and glanced at Stefan, “Why? For the record, only the Williams Group is big and rich enough to work with us on the project of Zoozone land. Gentlemen, we’re gonna make a fortune. And I don’t believe any of you will let the golden chance slip away.”

“So, Mr. Harrison, I didn’t get your point.”

Stefan pursed his lips. His eyes were deep and sullen but he said nothing else.

Martha stared at him indifferently, then turned to look around the shareholders, and said, “I’ve promised that I’d lead the Doyle Group to a fresh start. This is my first step. So much for today. If you don’t have any objections, dismiss.”

Saying it, Martha simply stood up and left the meeting room, and didn’t care what everyone else thought of it. She called Rhys as soon as she went out of the meeting room.

“What’s up? Miss me?” Rhys flirted as soon as he answered the phone.

“You said you would open the studio for me. And I say yes. We can sign the contract now.”

Martha stood in the hallway, appreciating the pot culture and smiling lightly.

It was the first step in her plan to sign the contract with the Williams Group.

And she believed it wouldn’t take long for her to keep a footing in the Doyle Group.

Rhys laughed lightly on the other end and said, “Then?”

“One condition. You must work with me on the project of Zoozone land.”

Rhys heard it, raised his eyebrows in surprise and smiled, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll say no and make you eat your words in front of the shareholders of the Doyle Group?”

“Will you?” Martha slipped her fingers through the leaves and asked him with a smile.

“Nope.”

“I knew it.”

Martha smiled happily and added sincerely, “Mr. Williams, I hope we can work well together.”

Stefan saw Martha leave when he got out of the meeting room, and his eyes darkened.
