---- Chapter 408 Glen was supposed to join them too, but something cup at the last minute, so he didn't go.
Although Franklin was the host, after greeting everyone at the bar, he excused himself, saying he had another
appointment with friends, and left. Johnny, who had a couple of close friends in Dallas, joined them after sitting
with the team for a while. Not knowing them well, Maggie only greeted his friends briefly before excusing herself
and not staying in their private room. Instead, she danced with the others from Cole for nearly half an hour
before sitting back down to chat.
Her beauty naturally drew attention. As soon as she sat down, men began approaching her with drinks, but she
politely declined them all. ---- Most backed off after being refused, but a couple of them were persistent. One, a
flashy but seedy-looking man, frowned. "You're not a local, are you, pretty lady? Don't you know who | am? You
really won't giveany face?" Another chimed in, "That's right. You should at least ask around about who our
Mr. Lane is. He personally cover to invite you, and you dared to refuse? Offending Mr. Lane..." Maggie
frowned.
Although Franklin had not stayed with Cole and Wilson Group at the bar, he was in fact upstairs in a private

Wilson Group, Franklin had largely ignored her. But in the past two years, Franklin had doted on their daughter.
Even if he was preparing for divorce, he had encouraged Isabella to stay connected with Maggie. In other words,
Franklin might not love Maggie and might treat her coldly, and he might tolerate her ambiguous closeness with
Johnny-but he would never allow shady ---- men to harass the mother of his child. With that in mind, Chad
nodded subtly and went downstairs.
Before things escalated further, he stepped in. "Mr. Lane, isn't it? I'm Chad, Mr. Franklin of Wilson Group's
secretary." Wilson Group was one of the leading firms in the country. Even if Franklin wasn't from Dallas, there
was no way Mr. Lane didn't know him. Sure enough, when Chad spoke, Lane looked up toward Franklin's private
room. Spotting him there, he reluctantly backed down and left. After settling things, Chad cast a quick glance at
