Chapter 739
When Franklin backed Maggie once again, Levi, Julia, Janice, and everyone around them were hit with fresh waves of shock.
Julia stared blankly over at Franklin, completely thrown off by his stance.
Daphne gaped at Franklin in utter disbelief. She had never expected him to throw his full weight behind Maggie at such a critical turning point in the evening.
Then something clicked inside her head.
She shifted her gaze toward Maggie and suddenly broke into a sharp, knowing smile.
She brought her hands together and began clapping slowly, her tone thick with biting sarcasm.
“I was wondering why you’d suddenly brought the little girl out earlier. You’re using the child to call all the shots, aren’t you? Manipulating your own daughter for your benefit. You really do play dirty, Ms. Miller, and you’ve got one coldblooded heart. I truly tip my hat to you!”
The second Daphne finished speaking, every guest in the ballroom caught onto her insinuation right away.
Lowvoiced whispers rippled out across the crowd.
“So Mr. Wilson only spoke up for Maggie because his daughter was present?”
“That has to be it. Word gets around how deeply he dotes on that little girl; he keeps her close almost all the time. No matter what kind of trouble Maggie is wrapped up in, she is still the kid’s birth mother. Franklin probably doesn’t want his daughter finding out ugly truths about her mom and messing up the child’s upbringing.”
“Still, that makes this so rough on Julia.”
“You can say that again. She’s already taken so much heat, labeled the other woman, because Franklin couldn’t finalize his divorce. And now Franklin is picking his daughter over her in front of this whole crowd…”
Guests kept murmuring among themselves. Yale and Rex instantly grasped what Daphne was implying.
Rex’s eyes turned icy as he fixed his stare on Maggie.
He realized he had severely underestimated how ruthless and unscrupulous she could be.
Even so, genuine sympathy stirred inside him for Julia.
He had long known how protective Franklin was of his daughter from his former marriage. He also knew how well

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....
