Chapter 307
Not long ago, when Smith discovered that an article he highly praised during peer review was authored by a technician from Cole, he flew to the US again just to meet Maggie and Johnny.
He told her that if she had joined Cole when she returned to the country last year, she would have seen tremendous growth.
At the time, slie wholeheartedly agreed. She even blamed Maggie for stopping her from joining Cole, believing he had caused her to miss a crucial opportunity for personal development.
But at this very moment, seeing with her own eyes how far Maggie had come after less than a year under Johnny’s mentorship, she realized that what she missed out on might be far greater than she had initially imagined.
After all, it wasn’t just Johnny–there was Nolan, too.
Nolan’s terrifying competence aside, his position granted him immediate access to the most comprehensive, up–to–date, and crucial information in the field.
That advantage alone played a massive role in the development of both Johnny and Maggie.
Just like her mother had said, if she had entered Cole as planned, with her academic background and abilities, she would’ve grown faster than Maggie.
But there are no “what ifs” in life.
It was all just empty talk now.
Thinking of this, she looked at Maggie with cold eyes. “No wonder she was willing to leave the Wilson Corporation.
So that’s why…”
Recalling how Maggie had left the Wilson Corporation, gotten close to Johnny, and blocked her daughter from entering Cole–all part of a meticulous plan–and seeing everything Maggie now possessed, Janice finally realized- that Maggie was no simple woman.
She said, “I didn’t expect her to be this calculating.”
Maggie was in the middle of a conversation. When she turned her head and noticed the mother–daughter duo’s cold stares, she took note of the hostility in their eyes.
In the past, the two had always looked at her with contempt and indifference. Today’s reaction was definitely out of character.
Still, Maggie wasn’t interested in digging into the reason behind their sudden shift. She simply turned her gaze away, expression cool.
To Julia and her mother, Maggie’s indifferent reaction appeared smug and arrogant, as if she were already standing Mr. CEO, Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time

triumphantly over them.
Maggie did, indeed, have a moment in the spotlight today.
Given the weight of her research paper, she truly had outshone Julia in the academic realm.
But-
Maggie had Johnny and cutting–edge expertise on her side.
Julia had Franklin.
Janice quickly regained her composure. She said, “She won’t stay smug for long.”
She didn’t believe things between Maggie and Johnny would remain stable forever.
Thinking of Franklin’s feelings for her daughter–and the fact that, even if her daughter seemed to cling to Maggie lately, she still preferred her real mother–both women found a renewed calmness..
Julia’s gaze toward Maggie returned to its usual scorn.
“I have been slacking off in my professional development,” Julia admitted. “It’s time I got back into learning mode.
Even if the people around her weren’t as capable as Johnny or Nolan, with persistence and accumulation, one day, her professional achievements might well surpass Maggie’s.
Janice, naturally, supported this. She said, “You can ask Franklin for help.”
Julia smiled. “I know. He’ll help me as long as I ask.”
With that, she stopped paying attention to Maggie and rejoined the crowd.
But this time, unlike her previous conversations with corporate reps, she was now speaking with the senior experts at the symposium.

The readers' comments on the novel: Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time
Alguém saberia dizer o que houve com o livro, sem atualização a tempos...
Nada de episódio novo?...
Does the book stop? When are we going to get a new chapter?...
Olá, A história parou no capítulo 288? O nome do livro me gerou mais expectativas, quando ela realmente vai desprezar os dois e brilhar???...
Everytime I read new updates I am hoping to see Maggie completely moving on with her life not always checking where Franklin is up to with Julia. I think everyone reading this story by now understand that Franklin doesn't care about Julia. So what is the point of always pointing out how indifferent Franklin is to Maggie and how attentive he is towards Julia....
What does Helen mean Maggie is still married? Married to whom? Franklin has made it clear that he doesn't consider her anything and is flaunting his relationship with Julia for anyone who has eyes to witness it.So Maggie should wait for the divorce to be finalized to date. Isn't that double standards. And Franklin is dragging the divorce deliberately since divorced or not he does what he wants without any consequences. Really women are emotionally oppressed even authors only know that point of view 😕...
I feel sad for Maggie and all married women who have to endure emotional abuse with no end in sight. By the look of it,Franklin doesn't want to divorce Maggie for whatever reason. Either the reason is good or bad, Maggie shouldn't be humiliated like this just because she loves him. And the grandmother should be helping her get a divorce not emotionally blackmailing her, if she really cared about her. Franklin is using Maggie's love for the grandmother to abuse her. Is really loving people wrong? Author this one-sided hurt is not right. Let Maggie move on with dignity. It shouldn't end up with Franklin professing his love for her and her accepting it....
