Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time (by Zora Pradeep) novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167

She then recounted what Johnny had said about Maggie at the banquet.

“Maggie only joined Cole a few months ago, so how could she have anything to do with its success? But Johnny really does care about her, so he’s willing to share his achievements with her.”

“So that’s how it is. I thought she was really that amazing.”

Julia said with a faint smile, “She’s just an undergraduate.”

Right, whether it’s her school, her qualifications, or anything else, she’s nowhere near your level. When Mr. Hall praised her just now, anyone who didn’t know would think she’s more impressive than Johnny.”

Hearing Julia’s words, Old Mrs. Green’s previously flickering expression returned to its cold state.

A little later, Franklin returned.

When he saw Maggie and Old Mrs. Miller standing in the front row, he glanced at them for a moment before looking away.

When he came back, Julia smiled at him, “Finished with the call?”

“Probably will get another call later.”

“Is it about the overseas company?”

“Yes.”

Seeing them chatting together, Harry turned his gaze away, but his eyes landed on Maggie.

He noticed that Maggie didn’t seem to be paying attention to Franklin and Julia at all.

It was as if she truly didn’t care about Franklin anymore.

The Green family members, on the other hand, wore smiles on their faces.

The praise Maggie received from Jordan and Old Master Hall was simply to maintain face for the Miller family, but it wouldn’t help her much.

After all, the Hall family wouldn’t be trying to matchmake her with Jimmy, right?

Everyone could tell that was highly unlikely.

After a while, Old Master Hall greeted everyone again and then entered the private area through the

corridor.

Maggie, Johnny, Franklin, Harry, and the Brown and Green families all entered the area together.

It was a large space, so the presence of the Brown and Green families didn’t seem out of place.

The group took their seats in the garden and hall, with servants bringing tea and snacks.

Old Master Hall and Old Mrs. Miller were having a pleasant conversation. In addition to Old Mrs. Miller, Old Master Hall had two other friends who were also skilled in traditional painting,

When the conversation became lively, Old Master Hall and his two friends decided to paint a piece right then and invited Old Mrs. Miller to join them.

He then instructed Jimmy, “Jim, go to the study and bring me the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.”

“Alright,” Jimmy responded.

Once they finished painting, Old Master Hall praised Old Mrs. Miller’s work highly.

Old Master Hall, Old Mrs. Miller, and their friends continued discussing painting.

Meanwhile, Maggie and Johnny didn’t join their conversation but sat in the hall, enjoying the tea and

snacks.

Maggie was seated quite far from the Brown and Green families. There wasn’t even any eye contact

between them.

Unless someone knew the full story, no one would have guessed that they were acquainted.

As for Franklin, he sat with Julia, Harry, Levi, Rex, and others. They were all peers, and being from the same circle, it was quite normal for them to be conversing together.

Seeing that Maggie and Johnny were sitting alone, seemingly keeping a distance from everyone else, Jimmy leaned over and whispered to Rex, “Has Johnny still not made up with you guys?”

Weren’t they supposed to be working together now?

Even if they hadn’t fully reconciled, their relationship should have at least eased, right?

Why did it look like things were almost the same as at the banquet?

Rex glanced at Johnny from across the room, thought for a moment, and said, “It seems like Johnny and Franklin aren’t getting along either.”

Jimmy was surprised.

He hadn’t heard about any bad blood between them before.

He then wondered if it had something to do with Maggie and Julia.

immy wasn’t one to pick sides, so after chatting with Franklin and the others, he went over to greet Johnny and Maggie. “We have more guests than we expected today, so if there’s anything lacking in the reception, please forgive us.”
