NovelEnglishChapter 310 Around noon, Maggie and Franklin arrived at the restaurant with their group. Just as they reached the door of their private room, the door to the room next door suddenly swung open: As if afraid they wouldn't hear her, Sophia raised her voice and called out to Franklin, "Brother-in-law!" Seeing Julia there as well, Professor Liam smiled and said, "Miss Brown, fancy seeing you here too. What a coincidence." Julia smiled back.

Though she said that, the truth was this encounter wasn't a coincidence at all Everyone in their family already knew that Franklin and Maggie had gone to the Civil Center that morning to officially file for divorce. Knowing they'd be dining here at noon, and that Maggie would be present, Sophia had deliberately arranged for their lunch spot to be right across from Franklin's private room. Hence, this "chance" meeting.
What thrilled Sophia most was that after her brother-in-law finalized ---- the terms of the divorce agreement, the first thing he did was bring Maggie to the Civil Center. Now, in just thirty days, he and Maggie would be officially divorced. Then, her sister and brother-in-law could finally get married-and Maggie would be completely out of the picture. Thinking of that, Sophia smugly glanced at Maggie.
Although Julia had never pressured Franklin to speed up the divorce, it would be a lie to say she wasn't anxious. Even if she was confident in her relationship with Franklin, as long as his marriage to Maggie still existed, no matter how deep their feelings were, their relationship would never be legitimate.
So when Franklin told her on Saturday that all the terms of the divorce agreement had been finalized and that he'd asked someone to contact Maggie to meet on Monday at the Civil Center, how could she not be happy? And it wasn't just the two of them-the rest of the Green and Brown families were just as pleased. Old Madam Brown only gave Maggie a single glance before looking away as if she didn't exist.
