---- So even though he knew Franklin and the others were ---- misunderstanding Maggie, he could only stay silent and watch, unable to defend her. As for what Professor Mark and Franklin were thinking, Maggie had no idea. After leaving Wilson Group, she went straight back to Cole. At lunch, she received a message from Sherry, who sincerely congratted her: "Maggie, I didn''t expect you to be doing so well after leaving thepany.


    Congrats!" Sherry still had no clue what kind of coboration Maggie had been discussing with Wilson Group, but the fact that she could now approach Wilson as a partner made it clear she held a significant position. Maggie replied: "Thank you. It seems like things are going well for you at Wilson Group too. Congrats to you as well." Then she added: ---- "By the way, your coffee was really good today.


    Thanks for that." Seeing the reply, Sherry was delighted but a little shy: "But I still think your coffee tastes better. No matter how I try to follow your method exactly, Mr. Wilson always says mine isn''t as good. I even took lessons from a barista friend just to keep my job. Only recently did I finally manage to get it right." After chatting for a bit longer, they ended the conversation. That afternoon, Johnny returned from his business trip.


    And that same afternoon, theirwyer informed them that Julia had already paid back 200 million dors as part of Wilson Tech''s breach of contract settlement with Cole. Another 100 million or so would be repaidter. Johnny scoffed, "Isn''t Franklin always generous with Julia? He buys her property on a whim, gifts her apany without blinking. After they ended the deal with us, he immediately helped hernd a new partnership with Ingle.


    Our totalpensation was just over 300 million, and yet they''ve taken this long and still havent paid it off. You don''t think they''re doing this on purpose?" "Probably not," Maggie guessed ---- "1 think the Brown family didn''t want to rely on Franklin again They''re nning to cover the cost themselves." That did seem usible. Johnny clicked his tongue.


    "Given the Brown family''s financial situation, it wouldn''t be easy to pull together that much money in a short time while keeping their operations running. Still, for Julia to insist on paying us back personally... those two really do care about each other." Maggie agreed. But she had already understood that very clearly- Back when Julia was willing to risk her life to take a knife for Franklin, and when Franklin, in return, had been determined to divorce her for her own good.
