Glen was supposed to join them too, but something came up at the last minute, so he didn’t go.
Although Franklin was the host, after greeting everyone at the bar, he excused himself, saying he had another appointment with friends, and left.
‘ohnny, who had a couple of close friends in Dallas, joined them after sitting with the team for a while.
Not knowing them well, Maggie only greeted his friends briefly before excusing herself and not staying in their
rivate room.
nstead, she danced with the others from Cole for nearly half an hour before sitting back down to chat.
Her beauty naturally drew attention.
As soon as she sat down, men began approaching her with drinks, but she politely declined them all.
Most backed off after being refused, but a couple of them were persistent.
One, a flashy but seedy–looking man, frowned. “You’re not a local, are you, pretty lady? Don’t you know who I am? ‘ou really won’t give me any face?”
Another chimed in, “That’s right. You should at least ask around about who our Mr. Lane is. He personally came ver to invite you, and you dared to refuse? Offending Mr. Lane…”
Maggie frowned.
Ithough Franklin had not stayed with Cole and Wilson Group at the bar, he was in fact upstairs in a private room.
‘rom there, he had a clear view of everything happening below.
Maggie’s striking looks didn’t go unnoticed.
The two executives with him also saw what was happening.
One chuckled, “Quite the scenery downstairs.”
The other smiled wryly. “Plenty to spoil the view too. And…”
He didn’t finish, but the meaning was clear: trouble was brewing downstairs.
After all, they knew Mr. Lane well. His family carried weight in Dallas. And though Maggie’s group had numbers on

their side…
Franklin watched, then turned slightly toward Chad.
Chad immediately understood.
Back when Maggie was at Wilson Group, Franklin had largely ignored her. But in the past two years, Franklin had doted on their daughter. Even if he was preparing for divorce, he had encouraged Isabella to stay connected with Maggie.
In other words, Franklin might not love Maggie and might treat her coldly, and he might tolerate her ambiguous loseness with Johnny–but he would never allow shady men to harass the mother of his child.
With that in mind, Chad nodded subtly and went downstairs.
Before things escalated further, he stepped in. “Mr. Lane, isn’t it? I’m Chad, Mr. Franklin of Wilson Group’s
ecretary.”

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....
