Chapter 402
That night, Maggie went with the rest of the family to the airport to head back to New York.
They were in business class. Isabella and Hugo sat on the right, by the window. Maggie and Old Mrs. Miller sat in the middle section on the left.
With Isabella taken care of by Hugo, Maggie focused on adjusting Old Mrs. Miller’s seat.
While she was speaking with the old lady, Janice, Old Mrs. Green, and the others came down the aisle toward them.
The Green family weren’t surprised to see them–if anything, they smiled knowingly. Clearly, they already knew the Millers had been in Miami, and that they’d booked the same flight back to New York.
Sophia looked straight at Maggie, smirked provocatively, and raised her voice:
‘Grandma, Auntie–some people spent all that time running to the hospital to fawn over Old Mrs. Wilson, thinking they could curry favor with her and cling to my brother–in–law to stop the divorce. But the moment the old lady’s health improved, my brother–in–law didn’t even wait for my sister to bring it up–he immediately arranged to finalize the divorce. I used to worry because that person kept dragging her feet and refusing to file, but my sister said she trusted him to handle it. Looks like she was right.”
Everyone from the Green family knew Sophia was saying it for Maggie’s ears.
Old Mrs. Green chuckled, patted Sophia’s hand, and looked at Maggie and Old Mrs. Miller with open mockery.
Janice’s expression stayed calm. She didn’t seem at all surprised that Franklin had seized the first chance to push through the divorce. She didn’t even glance at the Millers as she walked elegantly past them to her seat.
Jason and Old Mrs. Miller, however, understood perfectly well that Sophia was aiming to humiliate them. The old lady’s face, already wan, grew even darker. Jason’s jaw tightened as he stowed their luggage.
Sophia deliberately slowed down so her words would land, until an impatient passenger behind them barked, ‘Move it already! What are you chatting about?”
The Greens had been riding high lately. Sophia bristled at being scolded and turned, ready to snap back–when suddenly Maggie, hidden by the luggage bins, stretched out her foot.
Sophia stumbled forward, crashing straight into Old Mrs. Green. Both went sprawling onto the carpeted floor.
Janice had just sat down. Seeing them fall, she shot to her feet, face dark, and hurried to lift her mother. “Mom, are you okay?”

Chapter 402
Sophia scrambled up, livid, blood at her mouth from where her teeth had struck the armrest. She glared at Maggie. “It was you! You did that on purpose!”
Maggie’s gaze was icy. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“You-!” Sophia began, but the passenger who’d scolded them before cut in loudly: “You weren’t watching where you were going. Don’t blame others!”
Though the carpet softened the fall, Sophia’s lip was bleeding. Furious, she opened her mouth again–only for the same passenger to snap, “If you don’t want to fly, get off the plane. Stop holding everyone up!”
Others chimed in impatiently: “Yeah, sit down already!”
Sophia’s face burned. She wanted to retort, but Janice said curtly, “Yao–Yao, sit.”
Though fuming, Sophia didn’t dare disobey. She shot Maggie one last vicious glare. “Just wait.”
Maggie ignored her, adjusted Old Mrs. Miller’s seat, and sat down.
Old Mrs. Green’s forehead was bruised, and her fine clothes were rumpled. The sight made Janice’s face grow even uglier. She hadn’t seen what happened, but she knew Maggie was behind it.
After having a flight attendant tend to her mother’s injury, Janice returned to her seat. She cast Maggie a cold stare.

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....
