Chapter 738
Maggie had known exactly what Daphne intended to say the moment she stepped forward.
Her expression stayed perfectly calm. She made no move to stop Daphne from speaking, nor did she bother paying close attention to the accusations.
When Isabella suddenly appeared amid the commotion, Maggie bent down and spoke to her in a quiet, steady tone over the surrounding noise.
“Isabella, it’s too loud here. Why don’t you head back for now?”
Isabella had wandered over midway through the confrontation. She had only caught fragments of Daphne’s speech and the hushed gossip swirling all around the ballroom.
She shook her head firmly at Maggie’s suggestion.
“Mom, I’m not leaving. I want to go home with you once the gala ends.”
Maggie frowned slightly.
Isabella’s gaze drifted away from her mother. She noticed Johnny watching her and looked back toward him.
She recognized him, though it had been quite a long time since they had last met.
Maggie stroked the top of her daughter’s head.
“This is Mr. Gray. Say hello to Mr. Gray.”
“Hello, Mr. Gray,” Isabella said obediently.
Johnny’s heart twisted with complicated feelings. Still, he nodded gently toward the little girl.
“Hi there, sweetie.”
| Maggie spotted Sara standing a short distance away, uncertain whether she should step into the fray.
She turned back to Isabella. “Isabella, go with Sara first-”
Daphne’s biting, impassioned accusations echoed across the room. Guests pointed and whispered.
Daphne, Yale, and nearly everyone present expected Maggie to panic, grow fearful, and rush to defend herself.
Instead, Maggie remained utterly composed, as if none of these harsh words concerned her in the slightest.
darkened. Yale’s expression turned grim. Murmurs erupted once more among the party guests.
Yves could hardly believe what he was witnessing.
“Ms. Miller, why are you in such a hurry to send the child away? Are you afraid she will hear all your dirty secrets and stop seeing you as her mother?”

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....
