Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time novel Chapter 762

Chapter 769 Does Franklin Know?

When Julia’s family’s company hit frouble, the message he’d sent only got a reply from Franklin the next afternoon. And Franklin’s response had been short, just a few words: [It’s fine. I can handle this on my own.]

Harry said, “Should I shoot him a text?”

Levi nødded. “Go for it.”

Harry pulled out his phone and typed out a message to Franklin.

[Things almost wrapped up? When do you think you’ll be back?]

As he sent the text, Levi’s gaze drifted over toward Maggie again, standing not far away.

Maggie looked just like she always did tonight, right at the center of the crowd.

Once Harry hit send, he turned his eyes to her too.

What had happened at Dr. Mercer’s dinner party had genuinely shocked him. Afterward, he’d thought about messaging her, checking

in to see how she was holding up.

But he knew he had no right to reach out, so he never sent that message.

Now watching her navigate business conversations with effortless poise, untouched by all the chaos, he felt a quiet sense of relief.

Levi noticed Harry was also staring at Maggie, and the thought slipped out before he could stop it. “She’s one of the founding members of Cole Corporation. And all those years ago, she was already Nolan’s student… I still feel like I’m dreaming when I think

about it.”

Harry murmured, “Yeah.”

He’d found it hard to believe at first too.

He understood exactly how Levi felt.

Then Levi suddenly remembered something he’d forgotten to ask.

He turned to Harry. “Hey, do you think Franklin knows? About Maggie co–founding Cole Corporation, and her being Nolan’s student?”

Harry hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. “I don’t know.”

He’d wondered about this for a long time.

If Franklin knew Maggie had studied under Nolan, then he must have been fully aware of just how talented she was. After all, Julia had landed her job at Cole Corporation precisely because of that programming framework Maggie had built.

If Franklin understood the massive gap between Maggie and Julia’s skills, he should also know that Nolan would never have taken

Julia or as his student.

Yet Franklin had gone out of his way, making repeated calls and pulling strings to help Julia become Nolan’s apprentice.

Looking at it that way, Franklin probably didn’t know any of this about Maggie.

But if he was truly unaware, then when Johnny exposed Maggie’s identity as Nolan’s student at Dr. Mercer’s dinner party, Franklin hadn’t shown even a flicker of surprise on his face

Or was it simply that he cared so little for Maggie that no matter how brilliant she was, he still… refused to see her worth?

Levi sighed. “I can’t wrap my head around it either. I thought if Franklin knew, he would’ve told us. But all this stuff with Julia, it’s been going on for ages, and he never mentioned a word to us.”

Harry responded quietly, “…Yeah.”

Maybe it was something he couldn’t bring himself to talk about.

After all, Julia’s family background was far from respectable.

Over on the other side of the ballroom, Maggie was wrapped up in small talk with business associates when her phone buzzed

suddenly.

She glanced at the caller ID and picked up.

Whatever the person on the other end told her, she answered calmly. “Alright, I got it. I’m heading over right now.”

She hung up the phone, exchanged a few quick pleasantries with the people beside her, then turned and hurried away.

Harry had kept his eyes on her the whole time. Seeing her rush off, he quickly stepped after her. “What’s wrong? Did something

happen?”

“The housekeeper called. Isabella’s acting strange tonight. She refuses to eat and won’t come out of her bedroom.”

Harry froze for a second. “I’ll come with you.”

Maggie shook her head. “No need, I-”

“Let me come with you,” Harry cut her off. “If anything really is wrong, we can help calm her down together.”

Maggie heard him and did not argue further.

Levi was also worried, so he fell into step behind them.

The situation had been urgent a moment before, and Maggie hadn’t gotten the chance to ask for details. Once they stepped out of the grand ballroom, she lifted her phone to call and find out exactly what was going on with Isabella.

The call connected quickly.

She spoke into the receiver. “What’s wrong with Isabella exactly? Why has she suddenly gotten like this?”

The housekeeper began, “Well, these past few days, Isabella-”

Before he could finish his sentence, another voice cut into the line.

“What’s wrong with Isabella?”

It was Franklin’s voice.

The housekeeper turned his head and saw Franklin had returned home.

Franklin glanced at the housekeeper. “Who are you on the phone with?”

The housekeeper answered honestly. “Mrs. Wilson. I just told her about Isabella, and she grew concerned, so she called back.”

“Alright.” Franklin did not press for more after hearing that. He walked straight toward the staircase. “I’ll go check on her.”

The housekeeper snapped back to attention. “Of course.”

Franklin’s figure vanished up the stairwell in seconds.

The housekeeper was about to continue his conversation with Maggie, but Maggie spoke first.

“Since he’s back, I won’t head over there.”

Truth be told, Maggie had no idea where Franklin had been these past few days.

She didn’t know Franklin had left on a business trip right after Dr. Mercer’s dinner party.

When the housekeeper mentioned Isabella refusing food and drink, Maggie had asked about Franklin’s whereabouts. The housekeeper had told her Franklin was away for work, and Maggie had assumed he’d only left fairly recently.

The housekeeper heard Maggie’s decision and wanted to say something, yet he knew it wasn’t his place to persuade her.

He simply replied, “All right update you immediately whenever there’s any news about Isabella.”

Thank you for your trouble.”
