He glanced down at her and said, “You really have lost some weight.”

“You-”

Before she could respond, Franklin’s driver had already gotten out of the car, having spotted them coming. When he saw Franklin holding someone, he was surprised. When he recognized it was Maggie, his eyes widened.

“Mrs. Wilson?”

With that, he quickly opened the car door for her.

Maggie realized that Franklin intended for her to ride in his car.

She coldly replied, “My car is nearby-”

Franklin waved at the driver to take the umbrella from her hand before gently placing her in the back seat. He said, “You’ve sprained your ankle. Are you sure you can drive?”

Maggie replied indifferently, “I can call someone to pick me up.”

Before Franklin could answer, Rex had already walked over.

“Mr. Wilson.”

Franklin closed the door, took the umbrella from the driver, and turned to Rex with a smile. “Mr. Hardin,

you’re still here?”

Rex knew Maggie was inside, but Franklin’s car had a reflective film, so he couldn’t see her through the

window.

He shifted his gaze back to Franklin and asked, “Is Miss Miller inside?”

Franklin replied, “Yes, she sprained her ankle. I’m taking her to see a doctor.”

“I don’t have anything to do for the moment, and I was planning to talk to Miss Miller about some business. If Mr. Wilson doesn’t mind, I can take her to the hospital.”

Franklin smiled. “What a coincidence. We have something to discuss as well. Mr. Hardin, would you

mind scheduling for next time?”

Rex’s expression darkened slightly.

Franklin added, “It’s windy here, and Mr. Hardin’s clothes are getting soaked.

Why don’t you head back to

our car and take a rest?”

Rex understood that whether or not Franklin was really interested in Maggie, he had no right to interfere.

He nodded, glancing once more at the car where Maggie sat, before turning to leave.

Inside the car, the soundproofing was excellent, and Maggie couldn’t hear the conversation between

Franklin and Rex.

However, she had noticed the look Rex gave the car. Based on his feelings for Julia, even if she couldn’t hear them, she could roughly guess what Rex’s intentions were.

She didn’t pay much attention to them after that.

Instead, she looked down at her phone and made a call for someone to come pick her up. Meanwhile, she

checked her ankle.

Confirming that her sprain wasn’t too serious and that she could still walk, she felt somewhat relieved.

She hung up the phone, opened the door, and prepared to get out of the car.

Hearing the movement, Franklin turned around.

Maggie got out of the car and, after closing the door, walked over silently and took the umbrella from his

hand.

Franklin glanced down at her foot. “Is your foot okay?”

It hurt a little, but she could still walk.

However, Maggie didn’t noveldrama

ay this out loud.

She didn’t want to think about why he had actively carried her today.

She simply said indifferently, “Contact me after you’ve dealt with the divorce.”

The implication was clear–if it weren’t for the divorce, they had no reason to stay in contact.

With that, she raised the umbrella and walked past him, leaving.

Franklin watched her leave, not stopping her, letting her walk away,

Their cars weren’t parked far apart.

He waited until he saw her safely get into her car before turning and getting into his own.

A moment later, his car drove out of the parking lot.

After Franklin left, Rex’s car followed suit.

During the meeting and the dinner, there had been reporters present.

Maggie went to the hospital and, by the time she got home, it was already past eight o’clock. She had just started eating when the news about the meeting was broadcast.

Both she and Franklin appeared in the footage.

Meanwhile.

Julia and Janice were watching the news.

When they saw that Maggie had attended such an important government event as a representative of Cole, both Julia and Janice furrowed their brows.

Hadn’t it been said that Maggie and that Johnny were having problems?

How could she still represent him at such a key event?

Julia understood that if Maggie was still able to represent Johnny at such an important event, it probably meant her resume was wasted.

Janice relaxed her brows.

She gracefully accepted the tonics the maid handed her and said, “There’s no rush. Let’s wait and see.”

Maggie was not only good–looking, but Johnny was also still reluctant to let go of her. Their constant breakups and reconciliations were normal.

Since there were signs of separation, it was clear that their relationship was having issues. Even if they were still together for now, it likely wouldn’t last long.

So, whether Julia was aiming to enter Cole or break the ice with Johnny, it seemed only a matter of time.

Julia understood her mother’s meaning.

She thought along similar lines.

Besides, seeing that at the meeting, Maggie and Franklin were seated next to each other didn’t make her

feel uneasy.

Because, whether it was about herself or Franklin, she had enough confidence.

At this moment, Landon came downstairs. “Sis, you’re back?”

“Hmm.” Julia asked, “How’s your study going?”

Landon, now in the second year of high school, would be transferring to the capital to continue his studies starting this semester.

Franklin had already arranged for the transfer procedures.

But the textbooks in Y City and the capital were different.

After the New Year, Landon had been reviewing the differences in the textbooks to fill in the gaps.

Landon said casually, “No problem, you know me well enough.”

Indeed, both Julia and Landon were top students.

They never needed their family to worry about their academics.

Upon hearing this, both Julia and Janice smiled.
