Chapter 107
Hearing her words, neither Grandma Brown nor Janice looked embarrassed.
It seemed they had anticipated her response.
Grandma Brown sighed, “Mag, you know what’s going on between you and Frank. Why force someone who doesn’t love you to stay with you? You’ll have a fresh start after the divorce. Grandma just…”
u want to say you’re doing this for my own good, right?” Maggie interrupted her, looking at both Grandma Brown and Janice.
She said. “You’ve said these same things so many times, don’t you find it tiresome?
You don’t even bother to find new words to pacify me. How can I possibly believe you? Next time, maybe you should come up with something fresher?”
Before they could speak, Maggie added, “But I suppose it wouldn’t help anyway. After all, no matter how much you talk, it’s al empty words. What really matters is what you’ve done, right?”
Grandma Brown and Janice were stunned by Maggie’s sharp words.
But Grandma Brown remained calm. She was about to speak when Maggie interrupted again.
She turned to Mr. Felton, who had just walked back, and asked, “Mr. Felton, are you finished talking? Can we go now?”
Mr. Felton, noticing the odd atmosphere, couldn’t help but wonder what had transpired between them.
“Ah, it’s President Felton.”
Seeing President Felton walking toward them, Logan and Julia politely shook hands with him, then made small talk. “Are you discussing business with President Gray?”
“Yes, President Gray’s company has a few projects that I’m quite interested in, so I came to chat with him about them.”
Noticing that Johnny and Maggie were still standing in place and hadn’t walked over, Logan paused for a moment but didn’t pay much attention to it.
President Felton, unaware of the underlying tension, found Johnny’s behavior a bit odd. After all, as a businessman, even if Johnny didn’t know the Brown family, it wouldn’t hurt to greet them and make a new friend.
While Julia and Logan were conversing with President Felton, Old Madam Brown had greeted him and then walked toward Johnny and Maggie with Janice.
Johnny looked at Maggie.
Maggie looked at them, not moving.
Old Madam Brown spoke gently, “Mag, long time no see.”

Maggie didn’t respond.
Seeing Maggie’s stubborn expression, Old Madam Brown sighed, “Mag, you…”
At this moment, Janice spoke coldly,
“Mag, even if you have misunderstandings or grievances against me, that’s between me and you, and your mother.
It has nothing to do with Logan or your grandmother. Auntie hopes you won’t push away the people who care about you by mixing everything together.”
nice Green–Janice, Janice… She remembered how before Logan and her mother divorced, he had gazed at her with deep affection, saying that Janice was just as her name suggested–proud and aloof, the white moonlight he had longed for.
He said he only realized what love was after meeting Janice.
They were mutually fond of each other.
Logan said that although Janice appeared cold, she was actually a good person, and hoped that she wouldn’t follow her mother’s lead in causing trouble, but instead, recognize the excellence in others.
Unlike other mistresses who inserted themselves into other people’s marriages, Janice had always been kind to her, but her demeanor was always cold and distant. She had an air of being untouchable.
After many years, Janice was still just as beautiful and aloof as in her memories.
Therefore, when she spoke these words of admonition, they were different from other stepmothers‘ attempts to appease their stepdaughters.
They seemed more genuine and persuasive. After all, someone as proud and aloof as her wouldn’t deign to make things difficult for her stepdaughter.
If there was any conflict, it was merely because her stepdaughter didn’t understand.
Janice said that the issues between her, her mother, and Logan didn’t affect the relationship between Logan, Old Madam Brown, and her.
Children long for paternal love, for family.
This was especially true after the parents‘ divorce.
At that time, she was only about eight or nine years old, and she loved both of her parents. She couldn’t bear to be with one
over the other.
But her heart leaned toward her mother, and she felt sorry for her.
Therefore, when Logan and Sally Miller fought for custody, even though at that time Sally was already mentally unstable, she insisted on staying with Sally, despite Logan and Old Madam Brown’s pleas.
Even though she stayed with Sally, she still cared about Logan and Old Madam Brown.
But she hid this from them so as not to upset Sally.

Chapter 107
More than a year after Logan and Sally divorced, Old Madam Brown secretly contacted her while she was in the capital, hoping to meet her.
After not seeing Old Madam Brown for over a year, she was eager to see her and secretly met her despite her uncle’s objections.
However, she didn’t know that Old Madam Brown had brought Julia with her.
Old Madam Brown said that as sisters, they should get along well.
She didn’t want to, but when she saw the reproachful look in Old Madam Brown’s eyes, she thought perhaps she was too much
e her mother–too sharp–and began to wonder if she was a narrow–minded child.
More than ten years had passed, yet she still remembered that day clearly.
She remembered how, when she went to the restroom in sadness, Old Madam Brown had bought two ice creams for her and Julia. One of them had been scraped by a dirty tray and had gotten some oil stains on it.
Julia immediately chose the unblemished one.
Old Madam Brown simply smiled and patted her head, never bothering to replace the dirty one.
By the time she returned. Old Madam Brown handed her the dirty ice cream without saying a word about it being ruined.
Given the family’s financial resources at that time, Old Madam Brown could have easily replaced it with another one, but she didn’t.
At that moment, she clearly realized that Old Madam Brown’s feelings for her had changed.
She would never forget Julia’s malicious gaze when she handed her the dirty ice cream.
As for Logan, there were many similar incidents.
