It was left for Franklin to sit.

Grandmother Brown glanced at the time and asked. "Julie, is Frank here yet? Why don't you call him and remind him?"

Julia also had the same thought.

She took out her phone to call Franklin.

But the call didn't go through.

There were many guests attending the Green family's housewarming banquet today. The Green family needed to go around to toast each table, greet the guests, and build some rapport to strengthen their connections. This process naturally involved Julia.

After all, the guests came to the banquet primarily because of Julia.

And with Julia present, the guests would certainly give them more face.

As the Green family approached, guests stood up politely to greet them.

After exchanging pleasantries, someone asked, "Miss Brown, has President Wilson arrived yet?"

Julia replied, "He's on his way. He'll be here soon."

Just as she finished speaking, someone not far from them said, "My friend told me that President Wilson also went to the Miller family."

"President Wilson went to the Miller family? Is that true?"

"There's a photo. How could it be fake? Take a look." "That... is really President Wilson!"

Everyone turned to look at Julia.

They weren't particularly close to the Green family, but they came to the banquet because they wanted to give face to Franklin, and because the Miller family's business had been in decline and was unlikely to recover. Now, not only had Nolan gone to the Miller family, but even Franklin had gone to celebrate the birthday of Old Lady Miller.

So, what exactly were they here for?

Heating that Franklin had gone to the Miller family, Julia didn't panic.

She knew that Old Lady Wilson and Old Lady Miller had a good relationship. With Old Lady Miller's 70th birthday, it was only natural for Franklin to go in her place, especially since Old Lady Wilson couldn't attend in person. 12:56

She had anticipated this.

But now that Franklin had gone to the Miller family, even though it was under Old Lady Wilson's orders, she still wasn't ver happy about it.

Seeing that everyone had assumed something was wrong between her and Franklin after hearing that he had gone to the Miller family instead of coming to the banquet, she coldly said,

"Old Lady Wilson and Old Lady Miller are good friends. Frank just went over to sit with her for a while, following the elder's command."

here had indeed been rumors before that the Miller family and the Wilson family had a good relationship.

For years, everyone had seen no interaction between the two families, and they had assumed it was just gossip.

Now, hearing Julia's words, it seemed there might be some truth to it?

At that moment, someone walked in from outside.

The person was holding a gift box and came over to Julia and the Green family. He spoke to Julia, saying,

"Hello, Miss Brown. President Wilson had an urgent matter come up, and he might be very late. He was worried he'd miss the banquet, so he asked me to bring this gift to you..." Julia reached out to take it, saying, "I understand. Thank you."

Since Old Lady Miller was a friend of Old Lady Wilson, and Old Lady Miller was celebrating her birthday, it was entirely reasonable for Franklin to go there first, then come here later. Seeing that Franklin had anticipated their doubts about his relationship with Julia, he had thoughtfully sent someone with a gift in advance, showing his consideration and care for her. Given Franklin's status, his thoughtfulness toward Julia was undeniable.

Thinking this over, the guests smiled apologetically. Though the Green family was unhappy that Franklin had gone to the Miller family, they didn't show it.

Once the awkward atmosphere had passed, Miles raised his glass and thanked the guests for coming.

With Miles leading the way, the atmosphere quickly became lively again.

Julia felt warmth in her heart when she saw how considerate Franklin had been. Any lingering unhappiness soon vanished.

Noticing that Harry still hadn't returned, she walked over and asked Levi, "Why hasn't Harry come back yet?"

Levi replied, "Let me give him a call."

After a brief phone conversation, Levi hung up and said, "Harry said he had an urgent matter to attend to and left early. He asked me to apologize to you." "Since he had something urgent, I understand," Julia replied with concern. "Did Harry say what the matter was?"

"He didn't mention it." Levi didn't think much of it at first, but for some reason, he suddenly recalled something and said. "Could it have something to do with the person Harry likes?"

When Julia heard this, her smile faltered slightly, and her tone became a little distant. "Harry hasn't mentioned anything about that recently. I can't really guess."

"True." Levi stroked his chin, smiling. "I guess we'll know next time we ask him."

Julia lowered her gaze, murmuring, "Mm."

Meanwhile, at the main table of the Miller family, Franklin sat down and glanced at Maggie.

Maggie was indeed a little surprised when he first appeared.

But she quickly calmed herself.

When he looked over at her, she remained expressionless and coldly asked, "What is it?"

Franklin shifted his gaze away and softly replied, "Nothing."

After that, the two of them didn't speak again.

Maggie's two cousins, who had never seen Franklin in person before, were now looking at him with some curiosity.

As someone who had held power for many years, even though Franklin didn't deliberately put on any airs, his every movement still exuded the demeanor of someone accustomed to being in a high position. When they caught his gaze, they instinctively averted their eyes and dared not look at him anymore.
