Chapter 15
Hearing Maggie speak this way now, Franklin was surprised. Still, he didn’t dwell on it –
after all, it was a small matter, not worth obsessing over. “Understood.” With that, he hung
- up.
This time, Isabella knew who was on the other end of her father’s call. “Was that Mom?”
“Mm.” “So Mom will be joining us at great–grandmother’s?” “Mm.”
Upon hearing this, Isabella’s brows furrowed reflexively before she could say anything. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to see her mother. Nor was it that she didn’t miss her mother.
In fact, not only had it been a long time since she’d seen her mother, but her mother had also gone unprecedented more than half a month without contacting her. Now, thinking about her mother, she actually felt somewhat nostalgic.
But then she realized that if Mom could join them at the family estate tonight, it meant she would be returning from her business trip today after returning to the country, she had only learned about her mother’s business trip the morning after she woke up.

When she found out her mother wasn’t home, she had been especially happy. She wanted to spend more time with Aunt Julie during these days while her mother was away
business.
After all, once her mother returned from the trip, she wouldn’t be able to see Aunt Julie often anymore. So, she had been hoping her mother would come home later rather than
sooner.
Unexpectedly, her mother was returning after just two days. Now that her mother was back, she definitely wouldn’t agree to let Aunt Julie take her to school tomorrow.
As for Aunt Julie’s racing competition tomorrow night, if her mother found out about it, she definitely wouldn’t let her go watch. Thinking of this, her mood immediately soured.
Moreover, she had already asked Aunt Julie to take her to school tomorrow morning, and Aunt Julie had already agreed. What should she do now?
Chapter 15
Isabella wilted completely, “Dad…” Franklin looked over, “What is it?”
Although she could ask her dad to help convince mom about letting Aunt Julie take her to school, mom might end up arguing with dad when she heard about it…
This was so annoying! Isabella lost her appetite for breakfast. However, she could compromise on tomorrow’s school drop–off and let her mom take her.
But as for Aunt Julie’s racing competition tomorrow night, she was determined to go no
matter what.
With this in mind, she said to Franklin in a coaxing tone, “Well, you promised to let me go watch Aunt Julie’s competition with you tomorrow night, but if Mom finds out, she definitely won’t let me go, so we can’t let Mom know about this. If Mom asks tomorrow, Dad, can you help cover for me?”
“Got it.” Only after getting Franklin’s assurance did Isabella’s mood improve slightly.
A while later, Franklin finished breakfast and left.
When Maggie arrived at the company today, she didn’t run into Franklin.
At noon, Franklin’s grandmother called and asked her to join her for lunch at “Harris Garden.” “Harris Garden” was located near the Franklin Group building, just a few minutes‘ walk from where Maggie worked.
As soon as Maggie left the company and reached the corner of “Harris Garden’s” entrance, she heard someone say, “Franklin, if it weren’t for your help just now, I might not have
my efforts. secured this contract even with all
Thank you so much for this.” That familiar voice – Maggie stopped in her tracks immediately.
Peering around slightly, she saw the profile of her biological father, Logan Brown, right before her eyes.
At this moment, Franklin responded, “You’re too kind, Uncle.”

Maggie’s hands slowly clenched into fists. She could hear that Franklin’s tone was gender
than usual.
