Chapter 729
They’d just caught sight of where the pair stood, only a short distance away, and were about to cut through the crowd to reach them-when Yale flashed crystal-clear intimate photos of Franklin and Maggie for every attendee to see.
The two men locked up completely, rooted to the marble floor in total shock.
“Holy shit,” Levi blurted out without thinking, the exclamation loud enough for a handful of nearby guests to glance
over.
In that split second, even someone as slow on the uptake as Levi could tell this public takedown targeting Maggie had never been pre-planned by Franklin and Julia.
Harry caught on just as fast, standing rigid and wide-eyed beside his friend, stunned speechless by the sudden
bombshell.
The entire venue erupted into loud chatter and gasps, and Levi’s gaze darted over to Maggie and Johnny’s corner of
the room.
He gritted his teeth, leaning in to mutter to Harry, “This whole situation’s gone horribly wrong right now.”
He’d never imagined Julia’s old college senior would pull such a reckless, devastating move out of thin air.
The romantic connection between Franklin and Maggie had been tightly guarded private information within their wealthy social circle, kept hidden from tabloids and industry insiders alike.
Judging by Yale’s furious, accusatory tone, he was framing Maggie and Franklin’s quiet relationship as a sordid, illicit affair-and every single guest in attendance was buying that narrative hook, line, and sinker.
With all these damaging accusations being hurled at her for everyone to witness, Maggie would have no choice but to lay all their cards on the table to salvage her public reputation.
She’d go all out, burn every bridge, and expose the full truth of her bond with Franklin right there in front of hundreds of prominent socialites.
Harry stayed silent, his jaw tight as he processed the catastrophic turn of events.
It didn’t take Levi long to parse the silver lining hidden within the mess, though.
He lowered his voice further to avoid being overheard, a faint flicker of hope returning to his features. “Even if Maggie and Franklin’s relationship is legitimate from the start, there’s no denying she climbed her way into power through underhanded tactics.
“When you weigh everything out, Franklin still holds the winning odds here.”
Once those words left his mouth, Levi’s shoulders relaxed a little, the sharp panic in his chest easing slightly.

Chapter 729
Over on the opposite side of the ballroom, however, Janice, Logan, and the rest of the Brown and Green families were drowning in unshakable dread, their moods a stark contrast to Levi’s cautious optimism.
From the moment Yale stepped onto the stage with his microphone, every nerve in Janice and Julia’s bodies had been stretched taut to breaking point.
They’d spent weeks fearing exactly this kind of uncontrolled chaos spiraling out of hand.
If they pushed Maggie too far and triggered her rage, she’d be willing to drag everyone down with her in a no-holds-barred showdown.
She’d air out every single secret-her marriage to Franklin, all the messy entanglements binding her to both the Brown and Green clans-laying every hidden family matter bare for the whole elite crowd to dissect and gossip over.
That explained everything. Even though they’d been desperate for Julia to land a spot as Dr. Mercer’s research student, their rage had stayed bottled up the second they learned the professor had rejected Julia and chosen Maggie instead.

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....
