NovelEnglish---- Chapter 431 "Miss Brown." Seeing Rex approach, Julia gave a faint smile. "Mr. Hardin." Rex glanced around.
"Why are you standing here alone? Where's Mr. Wilson?" Julia pointed in a direction. "Franklin's over there,
talking to someone." Rex followed her finger, looked, then let his gaze settle back on her face. He paused, then
couldn't help asking, "Miss Brown, you don't look very happy. Did something happen?" Julia's smile faltered.
Catching her reaction, Rex added, "Is it because of Maggie?" ---- Before Julia could answer, Rex shot a cold look
toward Maggie's side.
"People like her can be riding high and still win over Nolan and his wife? The world really is unfair." Julia was
indeed in low spirits tonight-and it did have to do with Maggie. But not for the reason Rex imagined. What
worried her was that Maggie's identities-Nolan's student and a co-founder of Cole-might be revealed publicly
tonight. She'd been on edge for days, and now her nerves were stretched to the breaking point. Hearing Rex, she
realized he'd misunderstood. She didn't plan to explain, though. His presence, oddly, did ease her mood a little.
Just then, Franklin returned.

Brown. Since you two have things to do, | won't intrude." "Intrude' is too strong a word," Franklin said politely.
Even so, Rex excused himself and left. Perhaps assuming she'd been waiting to go pay her respects to Nolan,
Franklin said, "You've waited long enough, right? Let's go greet Mr. Nolan and his wife." Once upon a time, she
would have seized the chance-Nolan rarely showed up in settings like this.
Even if Johnny, one of Nolan's students, disliked her, she'd have ignored him and tried to speak with Nolan. But
now... Maggie had long since becNolan's student. Which meant that the first tJulia had tried to approach
Nolan, he already knew who she was. Nolan had said her ability didn't meet his standard for taking on a student.
---- He was probably telling the truth-but had he really been unbiased when he faced her? And hadn't Maggie
already been "so talented" even before Nolan accepted her? "What's wrong?" Franklin asked when she didn't
answer.
"Nothing." Though she didn't want to go, she still walked with Franklin toward Nolan so as not to arouse
suspicion. "Mr. Nolan. Mrs. Nolan." They had barely finished greeting them when Maggie and Johnny also came
over to find the Nolans. Spotting Franklin and Julia, Johnny's smile carried a sting of sarcasm. "What a
coincidence-Mr. Wilson, Miss Brown." Franklin returned the greeting mildly. "Mr. Gray." Then he glanced at Maggie
and gave her a small nod. ---- Yulia looked at Franklin and Julia and smiled. "So it's Mr. Wilson. We haven't seen
each other in years." Franklin nodded.
