Chapter 353
The news about the Jamison Group had already reached the Miller family.
Now that Maggie’s career was flourishing, both Jason and the Old Madam felt genuinely happy for her.
To celebrate her success, they arranged to have lunch together on Saturday.
When Jason’s car arrived near the restaurant and was about to pull into the parking garage, it nearly collided with a car coming from the other side.
The other driver had failed to control their speed–it was clearly their fault–but Jason, ever a believer in harmony
brings wealth, chose not to make a fuss.
His car had the right of way, but the other driver still tried to cut in.
Frowning, Jason rolled down his window, intending to speak with them.
To his surprise, the other party also rolled down their window–perhaps feeling they were in the wrong.
But the moment he saw who it was, Jason’s expression turned cold.
Logan hadn’t expected to see Jason and the Old Madam either.
The words he’d prepared immediately got stuck in his throat.
From the passenger seat, Janice, and in the back seat, Old Madam Brown and Madam Green, had also spotted the Miller family car.
No one had expected to run into each other like this.
Jason quickly looked away and, before Logan could react, drove his car into the garage.
What was meant to be a happy lunch outing instantly shifted in tone.
The moment she saw Logan and the others, Old Madam Miller’s face darkened.
Maggie gently held her arm and patted the back of her hand trying to soothe her.
Thinking of how her daughter’s health had improved and how well Maggie was doing now, Old Madam Miller felt comforted.
She reminded herself to look forward, not let old memories cloud her mood. Slowly, her expression softened again.
After parking, Maggie and the rest of the Miller family–six of them in total–entered the restaurant first.

Mr. CEO, Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorte for a Long Time
Chapter 353
Thanks to Old Madam Miller’s change of heart, their group’s mood wasn’t much affected.
But the same couldn’t be said for the Brown and Green families.
Watching the Miller family walk in ahead of them, none of them–Old Madam Brown, Madam Green, or Julia–looked pleased.
They had all heard about what happened with the Jamison Group.
Even though, with Franklin’s help, Wilson Tech now had a clearer direction, there was no denying their previous
investments had essentially gone down the drain.
Worse yet, they only now had direction.
What Wilson Tech’s actual future held was still a complete unknown.
Beyond that, both Madam Green and Old Madam Brown were deeply unsettled.
At the Jamison Group press conference, Maggie had publicly acknowledged her contributions, and the CEO himself
had stated that all the tech being used in the collaboration with Cole came from Maggie alone.
If that were true… then Maggie’s current worth could easily reach tens of billions.
But–hey could that be?
How could Maggie possibly possess such impressive technology?
Was it really all her doing, with no help from Johnny?
Could it be that the breakthroughs weren’t actually his?
But… Maggie had dared to publicly claim the credit.
These thoughts left both families feeling bitter and uneasy.
Especially Julia.
Clenching her fists, she said calmly, “Let’s go in.”
Only then did Old Madam Brown and the others snap out of it and follow her into the restaurant.
An hour later, after their meal, Julia and her family were preparing to leave when they overheard voices near the -elevator:
“Our Johnny is still single, you know. If you come across a good girl, do keep an eye out for him.”

“Oh, I know! After all these years of friendship, and you’ve mentioned it so many times–we’d never forget to introduce someone to Johnfy if we knew a good match!”
Julia looked over and immediately recognized the woman speaking–it was Johnny’s mother.
However, Madam Gray didn’t notice them and walked into the elevator.
Janice and Madam Green had met Madam Gray before.
After hearing what she’d just said, Madam Green seemed to understand something–and chuckled.
Julia paused, and suddenly she, too, realized what her grandmother was laughing about.
If the technical breakthroughs announced at the Jamison Group press conference had truly all come from Maggie, then yes–her net worth could easily be in the billions.
And if she really was that capable, her future potential would be limitless.
She might develop even more groundbreaking technologies in the years to come.
In other words, if Maggie was truly that talented, then she was a walking goldmine.
With skills and value like that, no wealthy family would care if she was divorced.
In that case, how could Madam Gray possibly not acknowledge the relationship between Maggie and Johnny?
Why would she still be urging people to introduce other girls to him?
The answer was obvious–Maggie’s so–called “tech genius” must be seriously exaggerated.
