Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time

Chapter 555

---- Chapter 427 The day of Cole's anniversary arrived. That afternoon, Maggie and Johnny cleared their

schedules. After half a day of preparation, they arrived at the venue in full formal attire. The guest list was long,

and soon the arrivals began. Rex was among the first. Though he disliked Maggie and Johnny, he hadn't seen

Julia in stime. Knowing she would be there, he deliberately cearly. Johnny was busy greeting other

guests. Despite her distaste, Maggie dutifully stepped forward. "Mr. Hardin, long tno see. Please, cin." --

-- Rex glanced at her coolly.

Since she was polite and didn't pick a fight, he only gave a curt nod. But his eyes swept the hall, searching. Not

spotting Julia, disappointment flickered across his face. Still, Franklin never arrived early at such events. He

wasn't too disheartened. As more guests arrived, Rex brushed Maggie off. "Go greet the others." Maggie was

glad enough. She smiled politely. "Of course. If there's anything lacking in our hospitality tonight, | hope you'll

forgive us." The tone was unmistakably that of a hostess. It irked Rex, but he let it pass, nodding coldly. Maggie

turned to welcthe next group.

Not long after, Franklin and Julia arrived. ---- Like Rex, Maggie knew Franklin usually clater. His early

appearance startled her. But since he was here-and given Wilson Group's partnership with Cole-she had to greet

him. Only him. "Mr. Wilson," she said evenly, shaking his hand. She ignored Julia completely. "Please, cin."

Franklin was a mafor attention. As soon as Maggie finished with him, other guests approached eagerly. "Mr.

Wilson! You're early tonight." "With Cole and Wilson Group working so closely, of course he'd make the effort."

Rex also stepped forward. "Mr. Wilson.

Miss Brown." Franklin smiled. "Mr. Hardin, long tno see." ---- "Indeed," Rex replied. Julia had bristled at

Maggie's earlier snub, but Rex's polite greeting-and the way he looked at her-lightened her mood. She nodded

back. "Mr. Hardin." Maggie, seeing others now taking over the task of entertaining Franklin, seized the chance to

slip away. "There are more guests arriving. Excuse me," she said. Franklin's eyes lingered on her. "Go ahead."

Maggie gave a brief nod and left. As she did, Harry and Levi arrived at the doors.
