    Only those who Franklin valued would receive such treatment from Jim. But she didnt believe Franklin valued Logan because of her. Franklin helping Logan couldn''t possibly be became of bes either.


    After all, since Logan''s divorce from her mother, she had rarely seen him. Logan now only patch


    publicly knowledged Julia as his daughter.


    The father daughter bond between her and Logan had long since dissolved, Sure enough, Loga


    continued,


    "With Julie here by herself, her mother and I are quite worried. We''d appreciate it if you could look after her more in the future."


    Maggie almostughed hearing this. Julia and Franklin had only met after her marriage to Franklin


    Julia knew about her rtionship with Franklin-how could Logan not know that Franklin was his


    other daughter''s husband! He definitely knew.


    Yet he still shamelessly tried to y matchmaker between Julia and Franklin. This showed just howpletely Logan had dismissed her as his daughter!


    Franklin agreed. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Maggie watched as Franklin waited for Logan to get in his car and drive away before leaving himself.


    Given Franklin''s current status, such courtesy was usually reserved for only a few elders in his


    family. Yet Franklin clearly showed respect to Logan. All because he was Julia''s father.


    This reminded her of the few times Franklin had met her grandmother and uncle''s family - he had always been cold and dismissive. Moreover, in the past, even when she cautiously brought it up, he had never been willing to help her uncle...


    But his attitude toward people important to Julia waspletely different. His treatment of her versus Julia was like heaven and earth. This must be the difference between love and indifference.


    After a while, Franklin left too. Only muchter did Maggie turn to enter Harris Garden.


    That afternoon, after work, Maggie went home to collect the gifts she had prepared for Franklin''s Wilson family elders before driving to the Wilson family estate.

    Mr. CEO. Your W


    Timma


    The Wilson family estate was near the outskirts of the capital, with beautiful mountains an waters, a peaceful environment perfect for the elderly.


    The only drawback was its distance from the city center. It took Maggie an hour and a half to reach


    the estate.


    She parked the car and, carrying the gifts, hadn''t even entered the house when she heard her daughter Isabe''s cheerfulughter.


    andmother Wilson, facing the door, noticed her first and immediately smiled. "Magis here? Quick,e sit by grandmother." But only Grandmother Wilson was smiling.


    When her mother-inw and the mother son pair of Maria saw her, their smiles faded. Maggie noticed this but no longer cared as much as she used to.


    Pretending not to notice, she smiled, handed the gifts to the approaching butler, and walked towards the elderlydy, "Grandmother."


    "Ah." The elderlydy beamed, pulling Maggie to sit down, then frowned, "Why have you lost so much weight? Has Frank been bullying you?"


    Maggie lowered her eyes and shook her head, "No, I''ve just been busytely." This was half-truth,


    half-lie. Franklin hadn''t bullied her, but her mood was often affected because of him.


    Besides, for the past two weeks, after work each day, she had been focusing on artificial intelligence research, often studying until past midnight. This was also partly why she had lost weight. Before the elderlydy could speak, Maria let out a derisiveugh. "The way you talk, people might think your work is incredibly important, as if the entire Wilson Group couldn''t function without you."


    Maria''s mother, Ste, sat nearby, the picture of an elegant societydy. She took a sip of tea and said coldly. "If you find working at Wilson Group so tiring, you might as well quit


    After all, no one begged you to work there." Mariaughed. "Exactly! Though someone might be reluctant to-"


    The elderlydy, who couldn''t stand others speaking ill of Maggie, was about to speak, but Maggie beat her to it, "I''ve already submitted my resignation.


    Once the handover isplete, I''ll leave Wilson Group. This statement stunned both Ste and Maria.
