Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time

Chapter 145

Lying on the bed in the master bedroom, with her legs crossed, she swung them up and down: "Dad, are you going to pick up Aunt Julie soon?" Franklin: "Yes."

"Then you'll come back early tomorrow and take me to play?"

"Okay."

After getting dressed, ten minutes later, Franklin left the house.

By 8 p.m.

He and Julia appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall together.

Julia was still wearing a costly, eye-catching outfit, stunningly beautiful in a way that made it hard for

anyone to look away.

As soon as they entered the banquet hall, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Harry, Levi, and the others were already there.

Seeing them arrive, they walked over.

Rex, Jimmy, and the others had just arrived.

They noticed the movement and looked over.

Upon seeing Julia, Rex's eyes flashed with admiration.

Jimmy turned to Yves and asked, "Is that Julia?"

Yves nodded. "Yes, she's gorgeous and captivating, right?"

No

No matter how beautiful and captivating she was, she was still someone else's girlfriend.

Jimmy looked at her a couple of times before withdrawing his gaze without commenting. Franklin's influence was undeniable.

As soon as he arrived, many people gathered to greet him.

Before long, he and Julia were surrounded by quite a few people.

At this point, Johnny and Maggie arrived fashionably late.

Cole, the most prominent company in the business circle recently, naturally invited Johnny.

However, Harry was unsure if Maggie would attend the banquet with him.

Now, seeing her appear with Johnny, Harry's eyes narrowed slightly.

Levi had also suspected that Maggie might appear at the banquet, but he hadn't expected her to look this strikingly beautiful. Even though he didn't like Maggie, he couldn't deny that her clean and captivating, gentle aura was truly one of a kind.

Unfortunately, all that glitters is not gold.

Thinking of this, Rex immediately lost interest and shifted his gaze away.

Rex had indeed been stunned by Maggie's appeare

His thoughts were similar to Levi's.

Thus, he almost immediately turned his face away in disgust.

Yves, on the other hand, found himself rather liking Maggie. He had initially been reluctant to look away but after seeing Rex's reaction, he asked, "What's wrong? Your reaction... Did she provoke you again?" Jimmy also pulled back his gaze.

Rex proceeded to explain in detail everything that had happened two days ago at Cole.

Yves said, "I didn't realize Miss Miller was like this. She doesn't seem the type."

Jimmy paused in his drinking and said, "Perhaps there's some history between her and Miss Brown that

we don't know about?"

Rex dismissed the idea. "Just because there's a grudge between them doesn't mean she can take it out on others."

Not knowing the full picture, Jimmy refrained from making any conclusions and said nothing further.

As Maggie and Johnny entered the banquet hall, they were immediately surrounded by the crowd.

Teople gathered around Johnny, offering their compliments.

Yves smiled and said, "You all flatter me. Cole's success today is the result of our entire team's efforts." He then looked at Maggie and added, "Especially Mag, her contribution is indispensable." Whether referring to the previous CUAP or the two recent projects, the core technology had been handled by her.

However, her identity still could not be revealed.

This time, even the core team members involved in the project with their company had signed confidentiality agreements with the government.

Though her identity couldn't be disclosed, emphasizing her importance to the others was still acceptable.

Recently, there had been increased attention on Cole, and many people were aware that Maggie worked for the company and was very close to Johnny.

Johnny even delegated authority to her when he was absent from the company, letting her handle

company affairs.

Hearing Johnny's words, many people subconsciously thought that Maggie must be quite capable at work. However, when Johnny said, "Cole's success today owes much to Maggie," most of the people didn't take t seriously.

After all, they had heard that Maggie had only joined Cole in the past two to three months.

Johnny probably said this because he was love-struck and didn't want others to look down on her.

Maggie was certainly very beautiful, and it was natural for Johnny to be enchanted by her at the height of his success.

Though people thought this inwardly, none of them showed it on their faces. They all smiled and

complimented her, saying, "Miss Miller truly combines both talent and beauty."

Over at Julia, upon hearing this, she sneered.

She glanced at Franklin, only to see that he briefly looked in Maggie's direction before nonchalantly pulling his gaze away.

bilia watched this and coldly averted her own eyes. But she noticed Harry was staring intently at

Maggie's direction.

No, he was likely looking at Johnny.

Julia knew that Harry was also interested in collaborating with Cole.

As for Maggie, Harry disliked her-how could he possibly be staring at her?

No matter how beautiful Maggie was, Harry would never be interested in her.

Noticing Julia's gaze, Harry withdrew his attention and asked, "What is it?" Julia smiled faintly. "Nothing."

Harry didn't press further. Seeing that the crowd around Johnny and Maggie had thinned a little, he said,

"I'll go say hi to Johnny. Frank, are you sure about collaborating with Cole? If so, why don't we go greet them together?"

Franklin replied, "I'm in no rush, you go ahead."

"Alright," Harry said.

He walked over to greet Johnny and Maggie. "Mr. Gray, Miss Miller."

Seeing him approach, Johnny's smile faltered slightly. "Ah, it's Mr. Becker."

Maggie also greeted him politely. "Mr. Becker."

At this point, Rex walked over as well. Unlike Harry, he only greeted Johnny. "Mr. Gray."

Johnny's smile grew even colder. "Mr. Hardin is here too? My apologies, I didn't notice earlier. We were a bit busy."

Rex had naturally noticed that Johnny seemed even more cold toward him than the last time they met.

This didn't surprise him.

He shot a cold glance at Maggie.
