---- Chapter 426 The morning before Cole's anniversary, Franklin sent over gowns and jewelry for Julia. Both the
Brown and Green families knew he planned to take her. When they saw the pieces-worth tens of millions-Sophia
exclaimed with admiration and envy, "Brother-in-law always gives you such extravagant gowns and jewels. He
really loves spending on you, Sis." Julia smiled faintly, saying nothing. Her mother Janice, though, noticed her
daughter's distracted air these past days. "Julia, something's on your mind?
Has something happened?" When Julia had first learned of Maggie's ties to Cole and Nolan, it had crushed her.
Her confidence had ---- crumbled. She had only regained it by clinging to Franklin's feelings for her. Even when
Franklin began admiring Maggie's abilities in Al, Julia had panicked. But when she saw that it was only
professional admiration-and that the one he truly cherished was still her-she calmed again. But Dallas, and what
had happened since, had struck her hard once more.
Franklin's attitude toward Maggie now seemed more than mere "admiration." Julia knew she still held a special
place in Franklin's heart. But if Franklin ever discovered that Maggie wasn't just talented but also a co-founder of
Cole and one of Nolan's students... his feelings might deepen even more. She didn't know why Maggie's identity
as Cole's co-founder and Nolan's student remained hidden. But tomorrow was Cole's grand night. If Johnny
announced it publicly- Julia cut off the thought, forcing her expression blank. --—- "It's nothing." Janice had
considered whether it was marital trouble.

Sophia, oblivious, pouted. "I heard Cole booked out the entire hotel for tomorrow." It was New York's most
exclusive venue-renting it out cost nearly nine figures. "But for Cole, that's nothing," she added. The others
recalled Cole's recent financial reports: hundreds of billions inprofit already this year alone. By year's end,
they might reach a trillion. na few years, Johnny could becone of the world's wealthiest men.
And if Maggie married Johnny- The thought made the Green and Brown family ---- members grind their teeth.
Julia lowered her eyes, silent. None of them knew Maggie's true role in Cole-or her ties to Nolan. If they did... Her
uncle muttered, "If not for Maggie, we'd be going to Cole's gala ourselves." "Exactly!" Sophia snapped. "This is
the event of the year-business tycoons, politicians, everyone. And we're shut out, all because of her!" Tracy
added bitterly, "Franklin should buy you even more expensive jewels, Julia, to put her in her place.
