Chapter 740
Before Maggie or Johnny could respond, Daphne let out another scoff, her gaze fixed hard on Maggie.
“Still, Ms. Miller. The public will see right through this. No one will buy your excuses anymore. Save yourself what little dignity you have left.”
Maggie remained impassive at those words. Johnny, however, broke into a dry laugh and turned toward Daphne.
“The public will see right through it.’ What a noble-sounding line.” He glanced over at Yale standing on the small stage. “I truly admire how the two of you charge into battle, defending your friend with such righteous fire. But the person I admire most of all is Ms. Brown.”
His eyes locked onto Julia.
“Ms. Brown, Yale cares for you deeply, and Daphne considers you her closest friend. Yet you’ve been lying straight to their faces. How do you live with that?”
He did not wait for Julia to reply and chuckled coldly.
“Oh, right. Conscience isn’t exactly your strong suit. It runs in your family, after all.”
Julia’s features tightened. She ignored Johnny’s taunt and stared toward Maggie, as if searching for some kind of confirmation.
Daphne, Yale, Rex, and Levi all believed no amount of arguing could shift public opinion at this point.
Franklin’s testimony, which might have exonerated Maggie, had now been written off as biased because of Isabella.
Still, they expected Maggie and Johnny would keep fighting back.
Johnny’s sharp remark caught every single one of them off-guard.
Daphne and Yale’s expressions turned icy.
Glen, Harry, and Jimmy all knew the tide was heavily stacked against Maggie, and they froze, stunned by Johnny’s vicious turn.
Before they could process what had just happened, Daphne lashed out.
“Mr. Gray. I never would have expected this from a grown man. You can’t even tell right from wrong, and now you hurl these cruel insults at a woman in front of everyone-”

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....
