The Heart I Gave The Love I Lost

Chapter 103

Chapter 103

She wanted to go over and teach these two a lesson for casually discussing someone else, especially when the

person in question was right there. But before she could do anything, Maggie had already stopped her.

Maggie calmly shook her head and said, “It’s okay.”

Maybe she didn’t have much of a personality, or maybe she was just ordinary. But she knew who she was.

Whether or not others liked her didn’t matter that much to her.

After Rex and his friend finished their conversation, they drank their water, put their cups

down, and left.

Jessica was fuming. “I used to think Rex was a connoisseur of tea, that he had scharacter, that he was

interesting. | didn’t expect even him to be charmed by Julia!”

Before Maggie could respond, a sleazy-looking man walked over toward them. He and Jessica knew each other.

His eyes, filled with lust, lingered on Maggie as he smiled. “Jessie, is this your friend?”

Before he could continue, Jessica immediately knew his intentions. “What kind of person are you to eye my

friend? Get lost!”

The man’s expression darkened. “Jessica, you-"

Jessica White shot him a sharp, threatening glare.

The White family wasn’t to be trifled with, and the man quickly realized he couldn’t provoke her, so he backed off

and left.

Jessica took a big gulp of her drink, clearly angry. “This is the, what, fifth or sixth man tonight trying to hit on

you? And why is it always these trashy guys? Why is it that all the decent ones are so into Julia?”

Maggie didn’t respond immediately. She gave a slight smile, patting her back to help her

calm down.

She was about to speak, maybe to explain that Julia was indeed impressive and outstanding, but before she

could, Jessica's expression suddenly turned cold.

Maggie followed her gaze and saw Julia standing not far away, holding two cups of water. She didn’t know when

Julia had arrived, but judging by the smile on her lips, Maggie and Jessica both felt certain that Julia had

overheard Rez and his friend's conversation.

When their eyes met, Julia’s smile deepened. She didn’t say anything, but with a cold and disdainful glance at

Maggie, she turned and walked away.

“Damn it!”

Jessica was furious, her hands clenched into fists as though she wanted to rush up and tear

Julia apart.

“She's just the daughter of a mistress, and she’s also the mistress herself! What's she so proud of? And ‘the one

everyone loves'-| think she’s just a pile of crap, ugh!”

Maggie poured her another glass of water and asked, “What do you mean, ‘the one everyone loves?”

“Julia,” Jessica spat. “Like what Yves Jolly, Rex's friend, just said-those second-generation heirs with heads full of

nonsense in the circle, for sreason, they're all completely

enchanted by her.

Now everyone's calling her the one everyone loves, the kind of person who everyone falls

fort”

Jessica kept grumbling. “But the idiots saying this, fine. What really getsis even Franklin

and Rex-"

Jessica paused as she realized she might have said something that might upset Maggie. She immediately

stopped and said, “Wait, no, | mean... Mag, I'm just...”

Maggie shook her head. “I'm fine.”

Chapter 103

Since childhood, with people like Logan, Lauren, and even Old Madam Brown all turning

their backs on her, and in the past two years, Franklin falling head over heels for her, and even Franklin wanting

her to be his mother...

Through all of it, Maggie had never spoken to anyone about how she truly felt.

She had never cried for any of these things.

If she couldn't bear it, then any one of those events should have been enough to break her down. But over the

years, she had gotten through it all.

Compared to all those events, what did Rex and the others matter?

After hearing Rex and his friend's words, it could be said that her heart remained calm and

unaffected.

Jessica paused and didn’t speak again. She reached out and hugged her. “Mag...”

Maggie smiled and said, “It’s getting late. Let's go back.”

“Alright. As for your grandma's birthday present, I'll go with you to pick it out another day. | don’t believe we

won't find something you'll be satisfied with.”

Maggie smiled. “Alright.”

They held hands and left together.

As they exited the building and walked toward the parking lot, they happened to run into Franklin and Julia, who

were also about to leave.

Franklin and Julia glanced over at them, but Maggie pretended not to notice and got into the

car first.

Jessica huffed at them and opened the passenger door.

The car quickly drove off.

Julia glanced at Franklin.

Franklin said, “Let’s go.”

Julia gave him a sweet smile. “Alright.”

As she spoke, her eyes subtly flicked toward the direction where Maggie had left, and her smile deepened.

After dropping Jessica off at home, Maggie was about to turn the car around and leave when her phone rang. It

was a call from Isabella.

“Mom, when are you coming home?”

Maggie connected the call to Bluetooth while starting the car. “Mom won’t be htonight. You should go to bed

early. I'll csee you once | finish up sthings tomorrow.”

“Alright...”

Hearing Isabella’s tone, Maggie could tell that she was probably just bored.

These days, Isabella had been spending most of her twith Julia.

But tonight, Julia had cto the auction with Franklin, so there was no one to keep her company. That's

probably why she felt lonely and thought of calling her.

Maggie said, “Goodnight.”

“Mm, goodnight, Mom.
