As Jane was lost in thought, Franklin arrived.
After greeting the Brown family and the Green family members, Julia introduced Jane to Franklin, saying, âThis is my auntâs daughter, Jane.â
Franklin glanced at Jane and smiled politely, offering a friendly greeting, âHello.â
Jane had only seen Franklin in Juliaâs social circles before. But now, seeing him in person, she immediately understood why Julia had chosen him.
Despite the fact that the young and talented men who had pursued Julia in the past were all impressive in their own right, none of them could hold a candle to Franklin.
Whether it was his personal achievements, education, family background, or just his overall presence, he surpassed them by far.
Many of Juliaâs previous suitors were already exceptional, but now, Jane realized how vast the gap was between them and Franklin.
It was as if there was always someone better out thereâsomeone beyond what she had thought possible.
Moreover, she had to admit that Franklin and Julia made an incredibly good match.
However, thinking back to the complicated situation with Maggie and Franklin, Jane lowered her gaze, speaking softly, âYou⦠Hello.â
After Franklin finished greeting everyone, he settled down on the sofa.
Julia had managed to find herself a boyfriend from the capital, and with his help, the Brown family had easily gained entry into the topâtier circles of the capital.
This news had spread like wildfire among the upper echelons of Y Cityâs social scene since last year.
Today, some of the Brown familyâs old friends from Y City had come to visit Brown Old Madam.
At first, they hadnât believed that the Brown family had managed to break into the upper echelons of the cityâs elite.
After all, no matter how outstanding Julia was, the Brown family itself had always been considered a

middleâclass family in Y City.
Even if Julia were trying to marry into the top tier of Y Cityâs circles, they didnât have the connections or the financial backing to make it happen, let alone break into the clite circles of the capital.
However, after seeing the Brown familyâs luxurious villa and meeting Franklin in person, they had no choice but to believe it.
When they saw them looking at Franklin in awe, Julia casually explained, âTheyâre old friends of the Brown family.â
Franklin nodded politely as he shook hands with everyone who greeted him.
After that, they moved to the dining area to have their meal.
Jane was about to graduate with her masterâs degree. Lauren had asked her to come to the capital to look for work, hoping Julia could help her find a suitable match while she was at it.
Franklin had been very courteous to everyone in the Brown and Green families.
After the meal, Lauren, noticing that Franklin seemed to be in a good mood, couldnât help but bring up the topic.
She knew that Jane didnât really want to come to the capital to work and didnât want to impose on anyone. But as a mother, she felt it was her responsibility to nudge things along.
Before she could finish speaking, Jane nervously interrupted, âYou⦠You donât have to trouble yourself.â
Before she could finish, Franklin turned to her, smiling gently.
âItâs no trouble,â he said, pausing for a moment before looking at her and continuing, âCousin, is it? What kind of expectations do you have for your work here?â
Jane was stunned. She hadnât expected Franklin to be so respectful, so attentive toward her. She hadnât expected him to show so much interest in her personally.
Was it because he cared so much for Julia that he extended that same consideration to her, just because
she was Juliaâs relative?
Earlier, at the dinner table, she had heard Sophia say that Franklin had been so jealous of all the other
outstanding men who admired Julia that he had transferred a large portion of his companyâs shares to Julia, just to keep other men away.

Jane had thought that this was already a huge gesture of how much Franklin valued Julia. But she hadnât expected him to care this much about Juliaâs family and relatives.
She was surprised he would treat her, a distant relative whom heâd only met once, with such attention.
Sheâd also heard that Franklin and Maggie hadnât officially divorced yet, and that Franklin and Julia werenât married.
When she had heard Sophia call him âbrotherâinâlawâ earlier, it had made her uncomfortable.
But now, she was completely caught off guard. He had just called her âcousinâ so easily.
Jane was flustered. She had always been shy and selfâconscious, especially when compared to Julia, who was so outstanding. People rarely paid this much attention to her.
And now, with Franklin personally speaking to her like this, she didnât know what to say.
Julia gently patted Franklinâs arm, saying, âDonât scare her.â
Franklin smiled and nodded, saying, âOkay.â He turned back to Jane and said, âJust let me know when
youâve made a decision. Donât feel embarrassed.â
Jane, flustered and unsure how to react, hurriedly nodded, âOkay⦠Iâll⦠Iâll let you know.â
