Glen had excellent qualities all around. When Sophia heard this, she nearly jumped out of the car in protest.
“No way! What if Young Master White actually falls for that bitch Maggie? Then we wouldn’t just lose a friend–we’d gain an enemy!”
Tracy chuckled dismissively.
She patted her daughter’s head and said,
“Silly girl. With your sister as the shining gem before her, how could Young Master White possibly fall for Maggie?”
Over the years, Tracy had come to know exactly how attractive Julia was to men.
Julia didn’t say anything.
Setting aside whether her grandmother’s method would even work, she too didn’t believe Glen would actually be -seduced by Maggie.
She knew just how much Glen loved her–and in that, she had absolute confidence.
Janice hadn’t spoken, but she also didn’t believe Glen would truly be swayed by Maggie.
With that point clarified, she opened her mouth and said,
“Because she missed her chance to enter Cole, Julia has already lost far too much during this time. On the other hand, Maggie has seized this opportunity and seems to be soaring fast.
If we let her continue with Johnny, she might actually make a name for herself in the AI world.
So breaking up Maggie and Johnny, and reclaiming the connections Julia missed with Johnny and Nolan–it’s absolutely necessary under the current circumstances.”
“Otherwise, what we’ll lose in the future could be far worse.
That was true.
Thinking of how Maggie had caused them to pay a 300 million dollars penalty, and how she had been basking in the limelight recently over her paper, Sophia seethed with anger and bitterness.
Now that Janice had laid it out, she no longer opposed the plan.
She asked eagerly,

“So what should we do? Glen’s so into my sister–he definitely won’t agree, right?”
To make it work on both ends–protect Julia while still getting Glen to cooperate–would definitely take some finesse.
But not impossible.
On the other side.
Maggie, Johnny, and Glen had left the restaurant and returned to Cole’s office building. When the elevator reached the right floor and they stepped out, just as they were about to enter the office, Maggie and Johnny spotted a tall, poised figure standing by the front desk.
Perhaps hearing their footsteps, the man turned around.
The moment Maggie saw who it was, her steps halted.
Back in the car, Maggie had already explained everything between her and Jimmy to Johnny.
Johnny had thoroughly enjoyed the gossip.
And now, to see one of the main characters in this drama appear right at the company’s doorstep–he let out a surprised “Wow,” and raised an eyebrow.
Glen had never met Jimmy before, but the moment he laid eyes on him, he instantly guessed who he was.
He had to admit, Jimmy had striking looks–his appearance lived up perfectly to his name.
Glen’s face immediately darkened.
Jimmy turned back and, upon seeing Maggie and Johnny, said,
“You’re back?”
Maggie really hadn’t expected him to come to her office.
She pressed her lips together. “You-”
“I figured you might be here, so I came by.” He looked at her then politely greeted Johnny.
“Mr. Gray, long time no see.”
Johnny grinned broadly and shook his hand.
“Long time no see. I believe this is Young Master Hall’s first time at Cole, right? Since you’re here, how about coming in for a tour?“.
“Then I’ll gladly intrude,” Jimmy replied with a smile, glancing sideways at Maggie.

At the same time, he sensed the cold, hostile gaze coming from Glen.
Though Jimmy had never met Glen, he immediately picked up on the animosity in his eyes.
Glen was standing a bit too close to Maggie, his posture and expression clearly brimming with protectiveness–and a strong dislike of seeing her approached by another man.
In that split second, Jimmy instantly understood what was going on.
He paused slightly, then turned toward Glen and asked,
“And this is…?”
Johnny was hoping Maggie would speak up.
But she didn’t.
So Johnny stepped in.
“One of our engineers at Cole–Glen.”
