Chapter 148
Maggie pressed her lips together, unsure of his intentions.
“This is my business.”
Whether she was fine or not was no longer his concern.
It seemed that Franklin had just asked casually. When she didn’t answer, he didn’t press the issue. Without her noticing, he led her out of the dance floor and then turned and left.
No one knew how it had come about that Franklin and Maggie had suddenly become dance partners.
When they saw this scene, everyone was quite surprised.
Julia bit her lip.
However, she quickly regained her composure.
If Franklin could fall in love with Maggie, it would have happened long ago.
There would be no waiting until now.
When Franklin returned, she left the dance floor and asked, “Did you go to talk to her about something?
Franklin replied, “Just talked about Isabella.”
Julia nodded. “Mm.”
She knew that if there was nothing important, Franklin wouldn’t have gone to talk to Maggie.
She smiled and once again invited Franklin to dance.
Franklin followed her back onto the dance floor.
On the other side, Johnny was also taken aback when he saw that Franklin was the one dancing with Maggie.
When he found out that Franklin had approached her to talk about the child, he felt a bit relieved. “Try to avoid getting involved with him in the future.”
Chapter 148
Maggie responded, “I know.”
At this point, Jimmy walked over. “Miss Miller, sorry for swapping the dance partners without your
consent.”
After the switch, he noticed that Maggie looked cold and was clearly averse to dancing with Franklin.
She didn’t want to dance with him.
At that moment, he recalled that Franklin was Julia’s boyfriend.
There seemed to be some animosity between Julia and Maggie.
So, he guessed that Franklin had approached her suddenly because he wanted to talk about Julia.
Perhaps even to seek justice for Julia.
Maggie shook her head and said, “It’s fine, it’s not your fault. If I were you, I’d have done the same.”
Her tone was sincere and calm.
It was clear that she truly didn’t hold it against him.
Earlier, when dancing with her, Jimmy had noticed that she wasn’t someone quick–witted or adept at
socializing.
She was quiet and composed, and her gaze toward him held no ulterior thoughts–she simply saw him as a temporary dance partner.
Jimmy extended his hand. “Would you like to dance again?”
Maggie hesitated for a moment.
Seeing that Jimmy wasn’t interested in her in a romantic sense, just sincerely apologizing and showing friendliness, she took his hand out of respect.
He had offered the invitation with genuine sincerity.
He wasn’t romantically inclined.
After all, there were no lingering emotions in his demeanor.
He was simply trying to make amends.

He also wanted to show some respect, so Maggie agreed.
He then took her back onto the dance floor.
Meanwhile, Harry had already left the dance floor.
Seeing Maggie dancing with Jimmy again, his eyes darkened.
Julia also noticed Jimmy’s renewed invitation to dance with Maggie, and a flicker of surprise passed through her eyes.
Franklin noticed as well.
He raised an eyebrow and smiled with amusement, then casually continued dancing with Julia.
A moment later, Franklin’s phone rang, and he left the dance floor with Julia.
Coincidentally, Levi also didn’t want to continue dancing.
He and Julia walked toward Harry, whose gaze had seemingly been fixed on Maggie the whole time.
Maggie and Jimmy were still in the dance floor.
Levi took a sip from his drink, his gaze falling on Maggie.
“Jimmy seems to have quite an interest in her, but with the Hall family’s background, even if he does like her, his family would never approve.”
After all, Maggie was already divorced, had a child, and the Miller family was now in such a precarious position. It would be strange if the Hall family would accept her.
Levi didn’t say all this aloud, but Julia understood his meaning.
Having been in the capital for so long, she knew that the Wilson, Becker, Kwan, Hall, and Hardin families were among the most prominent aristocratic families in the capital.
Earlier, she had suspected that Jimmy had an impressive background, and she had considered whether he might be part of the Hall family.
It turned out she had guessed right.
However, perhaps Jimmy really did have a liking for Maggie, but it might not be the kind of romantic ming.

As for Maggie entering the Hall family, that was still a long way off.
Just as she was thinking this, she saw Jimmy and Maggie leaving the dance floor.
Jimmy nodded and greeted Maggie before turning and leaving.
It seemed there was no trace of lingering feelings or reluctance.
Julia smiled slightly.
It seemed she had been right.
She had known that Maggie didn’t possess the kind of charm to make someone like Jimmy fall for her at first sight.
Levi withdrew his gaze and said, “After dancing for so long, I’m a bit hungry. How about we go get something to eat?”
Seeing that Maggie and Johnny were heading to the buffet, Harry spoke up, “Sure.”
Julia nodded to Franklin, who was still on the phone from afar, then joined them at the buffet.
Upon seeing them, many people at the buffet approached to greet them.
There were even some people who wanted to discuss business cooperation with Harry and Levi.
Julia stood by, watching them talk.
At that moment, Rex and Jimmy also appeared in the area.
Seeing her, Rex walked over. “Miss Brown.”
Julia gave a faint smile. “Mr. Hardin.”
“Where’s Mr.Wilson? Why isn’t he with you?”
“He went to take a call.”
As she spoke, Rex suddenly remembered that Julia and Jimmy didn’t know each other, so he introduced them. “Miss Brown, this is my brother Jimmy.”
Then he turned to Jimmy. “Jim, this is Miss Julia.”

Jimmy extended his hand. “Hello, Miss Brown.”
Julia shook his hand. “Hello.”
Maggie and Johnny had just arrived.
Seeing this, Johnny let out a small “tsk“.
