Chapter 27 Pressuring Franklin
Maggie picked up her phone and called the housekeeper to check on Isabella’s whereabouts
Tsabella’s upstairs reading right now, the housetry and gently thigh the line Should I ask her to come down and talk to you
“No newd Mege nyhed softer
Knowing Isabelle was safe and sound past her mind at ease
She exchanged a few palte pleasantries with the housekeeper before banging up the phone quickly
Thanks to the incidents from the previous night the Brown and Green families had been trending all over social media. News of the crisis tatting Brown Tech also spread like wildfire across twitter and Instagram, sparking countless discussions among netizens.
Stella bought wind of the breaking news immediately and dialed Franklin’s number without hesitation
The phone rang for a long while before anyone answered-and it was not Franklin on the line
It was Mis secretary Jake
Mrs Wilson, Mr Wilson is currently in an emergency executive meening-
Stella’s one named sharp and skeptical is be genuinely in a meeting, or past avoiding my calls
“Mr. Wilson is swamped with urgent matters right now, this meeting past kicked off minutes ago. He truly can’t step out to take calls at the moment I’ll pass along your urgent message the second he’s free. Jake explained hastily, his voice tight with awkwardness
Jake wasn’t exaggerating about Franklin’s overwhelming workload.
Ever since Wilson Tech ran into trouble, Franklin’s schedule had been packed beyond belief, and his phone had not stopped ringing,
nonstop.
He’d powered his phone off briefly earlier, but within the first thirty minutes after turning it back on, he’d fielded an endless stream of calls-with fake screening and relaying dozens more on his behalf.
Every incoming call came from business partners, senior executives, and other affiliated company leaders
All of them had heard about Brown Tech’s collapse and were calling one after another, begging Franklin not to bail the Brown fanaly
So when he saw Stella’s incoming call, Jake knew perfectly well what her intention was-it was no different from ever
Stella had no trouble believing Franklin was genuinely buried in work. The fallout from the Brown and Green fam aught before had yet to die down completely, and now Brown Tech’s sudden crisis had piled on even more pressure
stal, her vace turned icy with authority “Go tell him right this instant.“
Chapter 737 Pressuring Franklin
Jake didn’t dare disobey her order. He stepped quietly into the conference room and gestured at his phone screen to get Franklin’s
attention.
Franklin said a quick word to let the other attendees continue the discussion, then picked up his phone and stepped outside the room.
“Mom.”
“You know exactly what I’m going to say.” Stella stated in a flat, unyielding tone. “Before me, all the senior staff at Wilson Group and your other companies must have called you already. Keep suppressing the online chatter about the Brown and Green family scandals, and do not lift a finger to help with Brown Fech’s crisis-not one bit.”
“I understand,” Franklin replied calmly.
Stella wasn’t the least bit surprised by his quick compliance. This situation involved the interests of dozens of key stakeholders, and even Felix’s future career prospects.
No matter how deep Franklin’s feelings for Julia ran, he knew better than to act recklessly and cross the line.
“Good that you understand.”
She saw no need to elaborate further-Felix had already made his stance crystal clear earlier.
After a short pause, her tone softened slightly, carrying a faint trace of maternal concern. “No matter how busy you are, take care of yourself. Don’t burn yourself out.”
“I will,” Franklin answered quietly.
“Find some free time soon and come back to the family manor for dinner with Isabella,” Stella added.

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....
