Chapter 817 The Most Untrustworthy Alliance
Martha was so angry that she wanted to smash the phone, but she hesitated after raising her hand.
She didn’t know if Joe believed her or not. If she rashly fell out with him, the consequences would be unimaginable…
Just like that, Martha lived in the manor with peace of mind.
Martha originally wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Ben and Anna, but unexpectedly, Gorya were guarding against the two children as if she were a witch. Gorya did not give her any chance to get close to Ben and Anna.
What’s more, Ben and Anna were too clever. No matter how she coaxed them, they were not moved and even took the initiative to distance themselves from her.
As time went by, Martha would not go near them anymore.
“Madam, Mr. Smith invites you to his study.”
On this day, Martha was trying to recall the phone number of Hope when she heard the housekeeper knock on her door.
Joe invited her to the study.
Martha found it a little strange. Ever since she moved in, Joe had been lukewarm toward her. Although Joe let her live in the manor, Joe had never taken the initiative to visit her, let alone anything else.
Now Joe took the initiative to invite her to the study. Martha widened her eyes in shock. She opened the door in confusion, and looked at Mr. River, “Do you know what happened!”
Mr. River glanced at her indifferently, not bothering to hide the disdain in his eyes.
Martha glared at him fiercely. Although she wanted to lose her temper now, Joe would never accommodate her, nor would his housekeeper.
Feeling wronged, Martha frowned and walked to the door of Joe’s study.
Martha had wanted to eavesdrop at the door, but at this moment, Joe suddenly opened the door. When Joe saw Martha, he frowned and asked,
“What are you doing here?”
How could Martha dare to say that she was eavesdropping? She quickly gave a hollow laugh, “I thought that you would be working, so I planned to wait for a while.”
Joe took a look at her and made way for her.
Only then did Martha enter the room.
Walking through the corridor to the hall, Martha was immediately shocked by the scene in front of her.
Martha stammered and asked Joe in horror, “Why is he here?”
The person kneeling on the ground was Hope, who was tied up firmly with a rope.
Hope did not receive a decent reception. Not only was he dirty from head to toe, but he was also disheveled and in a mess.
The moment he saw Martha, Hope also cried out excitedly, as if he was waiting for Martha to untie him.
Once he was untied, he would make Charlotte pay the price!
Martha first reached out a hand and then withdrew it fiercely.
Martha looked at Hope and shook her head. “I’m sorry, I can’t let you go.”
“What are you fucking say?” Hope had never dreamed that one day he would be tricked by Martha.
“I promised Joe that I would protect Charlotte and her children,” Martha said seriously. Her soft voice often aroused men’s greatest desire to protect her. But not now.
Hope couldn’t even save himself. How could he be moved by Martha? He looked at Martha and scolded her fiercely
