After all, no matter how important the autonomous vehicle project was, it wasnât as important as Franklin.
Whether or not Franklin still had feelings for her daughter was the most critical thing.
Janice didnât say it directly, but Julia understood her meaning.
Upon hearing this, Julia felt a sweet warmth in her heart and said, âFranklin told me not to worry. Heâll handle it, and he didnât say a single word of blame.â
When Janice heard this, she finally felt relieved.
Old Lady Green and Sophia also breathed a sigh of relief.
Sophiaâs mood also improved, âI knew it, Brotherâinâlaw loves you so much.
Heâd never stop loving you or blame you over such a small matter!â
Franklin loved her, so of course, Julia was happy.
But today, she had suffered losses in both face and money.
Julia said indifferently, âFranklin and I are a separate matter, but Sophia, I donât want something like this to happen
again, you understand?â
This was the first time Julia spoke so seriously.
Sophiaâs neck chilled, and she quickly shrank back, saying, âI⦠I understand. I promise I wonât say anything reckless againâ¦â
That afternoon, shortly after Maggie returned to Cole, Franklin called her.
If they were to terminate the contract with Wilson Tech, it would cause huge losses for Wilson Tech.
As soon as Maggie saw Franklinâs call, she already knew the reason behind it.
She didnât answer.
Franklin called her twice more, but seeing that she kept ignoring him, the call was then redirected to Johnny.
Johnny, of course, knew exactly why Franklin was calling him.
He picked up.

Once the call connected, he went straight to the point, asking, âIs President Wilson calling about the Wilson Tech
matter?â
Franklin responded, âYes, President Gray, if you have any conditions, feel free to propose them.â
âSorry, President Wilson, but President Brownâs actions have already crossed my bottom line. I wonât back down on this matter!â Johnnyâs voice turned cold.
âIs there anything else from your side?â
Franklin asked, âIs there really no room for negotiation?â
âNo,â Johnny replied curtly, then added, âThis matter will be handled by me and my lawyers from here on. I donât want your people disturbing my companyâs employees.â
âIf that happens, I will start to think that you and President Brown are both disrespectful people who canât distinguish right from wrong, and if thatâs the case, I wonât be able to trust you. It will affect our future collaboration.â
Franklin couldnât break the deadlock with him, so he would inevitably turn to Maggie.
Turning to Maggie wasnât an issue, after all, Franklin couldnât do much to her.
What he feared was that Franklin might use the Miller family against her.
Even if they could protect the Miller family, if Franklin actually went after them, it would spell a disaster for the Miller family.
And since it was an unavoidable disaster, theyâd try to avoid it at all costs.
What Johnny had just said, on the surface, was to prevent Franklin from approaching Maggie, but in reality, he was
using their newly aplished project to threaten him, warning him not to touch the Miller family.
Johnnyâs tone grew more serious: âIf anything affects the cooperation between you and I, and the matter blows up, President Wilson, it wonât be easy for you to handle. You understand what I mean, right?â
The news about Franklinâs tech
project going headâtoâhead with similar international projects had already spread.
The public was excited and had very high expectations for Franklinâs company.
Cole was the ideal partner for this project.
If Franklin, in order to protect his girlfriend, let the cooperation between Cole and his company fall apart, the news would spread fast.
Once it made headlines, both Franklinâs company and the project would be tainted by scandal.

The effect on the companyâs image and the projectâs reputation would be enormous.
If Franklinâs personal issues led to such a significant crisis, it would directly harm the interests of his companyâs other shareholders.
With internal and external pressures mounting, the losses and stress that Franklin would face-
Johnny didnât elaborate further, but Franklin understood the underlying implications.
He smiled and replied, âI understand what President Gray means.â
Johnny knew that if he could think of these issues, Franklin surely could too.
He coldly said, âSo, does President Wilson have any more questions?â
Franklin replied, âNo.â
After he finished speaking, Johnny immediately hung up the phone.
As soon as he hung up, he called Maggie.
