Chapter 354
It wasn’t just Madam Green and Julia–others had realized the same thing.
Sophia sneered outright,
“I told you before, she’s not as capable as she makes herself out to be. But none of you would believe me.”
Tracy chuckled,
“We just didn’t expect her to be bold enough to fake it in front of that many people, right, Julia?”
Julia didn’t reply, but the corner of her lips slowly curled upward.
At that moment, Sophia added gleefully,
“So basically, that bitch won’t be marrying into the Gray family so easily after the divorce.”
If Maggie’s abilities had been exaggerated, and her chances of marrying into a powerful family were slim–then for both her and the Miller family, any hope of a true comeback might just be wishful thinking.
At that thought, Madam Green and Sophia felt much better.
Once they were back in the car, Madam Green smiled,
“Next Wednesday is the last day. Once Franklin returns from abroad, they can basically go file for divorce.”
Sophia perked up.
“Exactly! Finally!”
Even though she wasn’t directly involved, she still felt genuinely excited.
Sure, she called Franklin “brother–in–law” every day, and in her mind, the bond between her sister and Franklin had long surpassed what any piece of paper could define–but the fact that Franklin, and Maggie were still legally married always irritated her deep down.
Madam Green and Janice felt the same.
Even though they knew Franklin’s relationship with Julia was solid, the mere fact that he was still legally married to Maggie was… unpleasant.
If they felt that way, Julia herself felt it even more strongly.
At first, because of how strained things were between Franklin and Maggie, she had never been particularly
bothered by the legal bond between them.
She always thought Maggie couldn’t compare to her, and was sure Franklin would never have feelings for her.
But after Maggie had begun showing real promise in her career–and more importantly, after Julia clearly saw a shift in Franklin’s attitude toward her–that sense of discomfort started to grow.
Just as she was thinking about this, Sophia turned to her and asked,
“By the way, Sis, when’s Brother–in–law coming back from this trip?”
When was he coming back?
Honestly, Julia wanted to know too.
Since learning that Franklin had gone on this business trip, he still hadn’t contacted her–not orice.
And every time she called him, he didn’t pick up.
The flicker of good mood she had earlier began to fade again!
Still, for the past two years, business abroad had always been hectic for him around this time of year.
Back then, he would often be so busy he was practically living in reverse–days and nights blurred, hardly ever seen.
Maybe… she was just overthinking things.
With that thought, she forced herself to feel a little more at ease.
But once she got home, she still gave him another call.
Yet again–no answer.
It wasn’t until Tuesday that she finally got a call back from him.
Seeing his name on the screen, Julia’s heart leapt with excitement.
She immediately answered,
“Franklin? You’re done with work?”
“No,” he said. “Still busy. Might be a while.”
Julia froze, about to say something, but Franklin continued,
“I’ll be very busy for a while. I’ll reach out again once things calm down.”

Which meant–he wouldn’t be back before the cooling–off period ended.
And that meant… their divorce filing might have to be postponed.
