Chapter 195
Later That Day.
About two hours later, after finishing their meal, they left the restaurant.
Just as they left, Maggie and Nolan’s group also descended and left the restaurant.
Back home, Maggie began studying the materials that Nolan had given her.
The materials covered the latest plans in AI research across various countries- meaning that the contents were still in the conceptual stage and were not necessarily going to lead to a finished product.
Maggie studied the materials for quite a while.
She didn’t even notice when the sky outside began to brighten.
It wasn’t until the sun had risen high that her aunt, Helen, knocked gently on her door. “Mag, it’s time for
breakfast.”
Maggie responded, “Okay, I’ll come down in a bit.”
She brushed her teeth, took a shower, and then called Johnny.
Johnny, rubbing his sore temples and barely able to keep his eyes open, answered, “I knew you hadn’t
slept yet!”
“I’m about to go downstairs for breakfast. How about we chat afterward?”
Johnny, feeling exhausted but excited, straightened up in his chair and replied enthusiastically, “Yes, we
must chat!”
Ideas come and go in a flash.
Of course, they had to strike while the iron was hot.
“Alright.”
After breakfast, as Maggie was about to video call Johnny, Paul called her.
“I just received a call from Franklin’s lawyer. The property certificates for the three villas Franklin had →→

transferred to you have been finalized. I’ll come by later to pick them up. When will you be free to collect them? If you don’t have time, I can bring them to you later.”
Maggie almost forgot about it.
Her mind wasn’t focused on this matter at the moment.
Hearing Paul’s words, she replied, “Then please, Lawyer Blake, make the trip for me.”
After hanging up, she and Johnny quickly got back to work.
They worked intensely until noon, their minds overwhelmed, before finally taking a short break.
Maggie had last visited Old Lady Miller the previous Sunday.
She and Old Lady Miller had originally planned to visit again in the afternoon, but since Maggie had been busy all night and hadn’t slept yet, she suggested pushing the visit to the evening.
When she mentioned this at lunch, Old Lady Miller noticed how exhausted she looked and said, “Alright, we’ll go after dinner then.”
Maggie took a nap and didn’t wake up until almost six in the evening.
After dinner, she and Old Lady Miller went to the hospital.
When they arrived, Franklin wasn’t there.
Maggie and Old Lady Miller stayed withOld Lady Miller for nearly two hours. They were about to leave when Franklin finally returned.
Seeing them, Franklin wasn’t surprised, as if he knew they would be coming.
As they were preparing to leave, he courteously said, “Thank you both for coming to see Grandma.”
Neither Maggie nor Old Lady Miller responded.
Franklin helped them press the elevator button and asked Maggie, “Did you receive the property certificates?”
“Not yet.”
Maggie and Old Lady Miller entered the elevator, telling Franklin, who was about to enter with them, “No need to send us. You go back.”

Once the elevator doors closed, Old Lady Miller asked, “What property certificates?”
Maggie nodded. “Morning.” Then she asked, “Is there something you need here, Mr. Becker?”
