Chapter 32
When they got in the car, Isabella wasted no time. She immediately sat down in the back seat and sent a message to Julia.
Maggie saw the message but didn’t speak.
Der a while, Julia replied, saying she only had a cold and that it wasn’t a big deal.
However, Julia’s voice still sounded hoarse, and Isabella was still worried. She immediately texted her, telling her that she’d visit her after school.
As soon as she sent the message, Isabella felt a little guilty.
She hadn’t eaten Maggie’s cooking in a long time and had originally planned to have dinner with Maggie tonight.
But fortunately, she hadn’t mentioned it yet.
Thinking of this, she sneaked a glance at Maggie, relieved to see that she hadn’t noticed her concern.
When they arrived at school, Isabella gave Maggie a warm hug. “Mom, I’m going inside now.”
“Mm.”
Isabella didn’t notice Maggie’s indifference and skipped happily into the school.
Shortly after, Maggie received a message saying that Franklin had something urgent to attend to, and the meeting scheduled for 10 AM had been postponed to the afternoon.
The “urgent matter” was, in fact, him personally going to take care of Julia’s illness.
Maggie didn’t react. She focused on her own work.
Around 2 PM, Franklin must have returned to the office, because Jake contacted everyone and said the meeting would take place at 3 PM. He also asked Maggie to prepare a cup of coffee for Franklin.
During the meeting, when Franklin entered the conference room, Maggie paused in the middle of typing.

He was wearing a different outfit from earlier that morning
He had gone to see Julia this morning, Julia was sick, and they might not have actually done anything, but it was also very possible that Franklin, out of concern for Julia, went to bed with hepto comfort her and help her fall asleep…..
With this thought, Maggie suddenly felt a moment of daze,
Maybe she thought she was acting like a love struck fool in front of him. When she snapped out of it,
realized Franklin was looking at her coldly,
Thinking about his tenderness and care toward Julia, and his impatience and indifference toward her, Maggie clenched her fist and turned her gaze away,
Soon after the meeting, Jake came to find her and said that her handover work was almost done, and she wouldn’t need to come to the office tomorrow,
Maggie, “I understand.”
Even if Jake hadn’t mentioned it, she would have brought it up herself once she finished the work on hand. Since he had come in person, she didn’t need to make a trip.
Jake hadn’t expected such a straightforward response.
“You…”
Maggie extended her hand, “Thank you for all your care these years.”
Jake, still in shock, extended his hand to shake hers, “You’re too polite.”
After tidying up her things, Maggie left.
Jake couldn’t believe she really just walked out like that.
“What are you daydreaming about?” Chad slapped him on the shoulder.
“Maggie has left the company.”
Chad was stunned, “Really?”
She really left the company? How could he not believe it?

He scoffed, “She’s left now, but that doesn’t mean she won’t find a way to come back. Just wait, it probably won’t be long before she returns with the help of Old Madam Wilson.”
Jake didn’t say anything.
Though it seemed unbelievable, based on Maggie’s recent actions, he felt she was serious about it.
After leaving Wilson Group, Maggie went straight home.
haps her mind was still on Julia, because for the next two days, she didn’t receive any calls from
Isabella.
The next night, Jessica had a fever. Maggie hurriedly closed the book, grabbed her car keys, and
rushed out.
It had rained all day, and by this time, the rain hadn’t let up.
Jessica lived in the old city area. By now, there were hardly any people or cars on the road.
She bought some medicine from a pharmacy near Jessica’s neighborhood. As she closed the umbrella and got back into the car, the passenger door suddenly opened, and a tall figure sat down.
Maggie’s heart jolted. She turned her head, and the black muzzle of a gun was pointed directly at her.
“Don’t move.”
The man was dressed in all black, wearing a mask and a low–brimmed hat, making it impossible to see his face. His eyes, however, were cold and sharp as he stared at her.
Maggie slowly raised her hands, not moving anymore.
The man took her bag and phone, “I won’t do anything to you. After you take me to my destination,
you can leave.”
Before Maggie could react, he coldly ordered, “Drive.”
