Chapter 99
“But I don’t have an invitation…”
Jessica hesitated for a moment. “The invitations for this auction were sent out half a month
ago. It’s not easy to get one now, but if you want…”
Her meaning was clear.
She was suggesting that Maggie ask Franklin for help.
Around 9 p.m., after parting with Jessica, Maggie finally returned to Franklin’s villa.
When she arrived, she found that Franklin was already home, working in the study.
Maggie knew he didn’t like her getting close to his study, so she stayed in the bedroom,
reading a book while waiting for him.
Around 1 a.m., Franklin finally returned to the room.
Seeing him enter, Maggie put down her book and looked at him. Franklin noticed her gaze and calmly asked, “Is there something?”
Maggie didn’t beat around the bush and directly said, “I heard there’s a charity auction in
two days-”
Franklin elegantly took off his tie and, hearing her, glanced at her and said, “You want an
invitation to the auction?”
“Yes,” Maggie replied.
“Got it.”
He said that and turned to head to the closet. A short while later, he went to the bathroom
to shower.

Maggie was a little surprised by how readily he agreed.
But since he had agreed, she was reassured,
It was getting late, so she put down her book and lay down in bed. Franklin was still in the bathroom, and she quickly fell asleep,
Because the auction was in two days, the following, evening, after leaving Cole, Maggie still
returned to the villa,
When she got there, Franklin was not at home, but Isabella was.
When Isabella saw her, she clung to her and begged her to make her something delicious.
Maggie agreed.
After dinner, the butler came to find her, saying, “Madam, someone just dropped this off for
you.”
Maggie opened the package.
It was the invitation to the charity auction the next day.
Franklin had indeed gotten it for her.
And there were two invitations.
However, since he had sent them over, did it mean he wouldn’t be coming home tonight?
Maggie was just thinking this when her phone buzzed twice.
Jessica had sent two messages.
Maggie opened them and froze for a moment.
It was a screenshot from Julia’s posts.
The screenshot showed a photo of Julia’s sweet smiling profile against the backdrop of a

spectacular fireworks display, with the caption: “The fireworks festival tonditje mes
In the photo, there were indeed several couples in the background
It was clear that the fireworks festival, as Julia described it, was a perfect date spot for couples,
The beauty of the fireworks was evident, but even more apparent was Julia’s joyful expression. She was smiling sweetly because she was with Franklin.
Franklin hadn’t come back because he was out on a date with Julia, and he hadn’t even brought Franklin,
Maggie looked at the message calmly, though she couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled She
sent Jessica a message back.
【Did you follow Julia?)
Otherwise, how would she have a screenshot from Julia’s posts?
[I have a friend who knows her. She mentioned it, so I asked her to send me a
screenshot]
What Jessica didn’t mention was that her friend was now deeply envious of Julia.
Because almost everyone in their circle knew that Julia had hooked up with Franklin, and
that Franklin loved her dearly, treating her like a treasure.
Thinking about the extra invitation she had, Maggie sent another message to Jessica, asking if she wanted to go to the auction tomorrow.
Jessica immediately excitedly agreed: “Yes, we must go!”
That evening, Franklin didn’t come home. Maggie had already guessed this.
After all, he was out on a date with Julia. After attending the fireworks festival, they would probably have a more wonderful and sweet night together.

Since Franklin didn’t come back, it was perfectly fine for her to sleep alone in the bedroom.
The next day, Maggie and Jessica dressed up and headed to the auction.
Their outfits weren’t particularly extravagant, but both of them were stunningly beautiful, and when they entered the auction hall, they still attracted a lot of attention.
Jessica had attended several auctions before and was somewhat active in the circles, so many people recognized her.
However, it was the first time for Maggie.
Seeing her accompanying Jessica, many people were curious about which wealthy family
she came from.
They took seats in the middle–back section, arriving not too early.
A few minutes after they sat down, the auction was about to start.
At that moment, there was a sudden stir in the front row.
Maggie and Jessica looked in that direction.
When they learned what had happened, Maggie’s movements froze.
Jessica said, “It’s actually Franklin and Julia… They’re here too.”
She turned to Maggie and asked, “Did you know they’d be attending the auction?”
Maggie shook her head. “No.”
She hadn’t expected him to show up.
Franklin hadn’t told her he’d be here.
After the last banquet and the tech exhibition, Julia’s recognition in high society had risen.
When they appeared, many people shifted their attention to her as well.

“At the last banquet, President Wilson spent more than three million on her outfit. Now, comparing it to last time, this outfit seems to cost no less.”
“Not to mention the diamond jewelry, just her dress is a masterpiece from the world–renowned designer Imms. Everyone knows that in the past decade, Evans has only designed three dresses a year, each worth over 2 million.”
“Last time, it was more than 3 million, and this time, it’s probably in the same range. In just these two occasions, President Wilson has spent tens of millions on her. He’s really willing
to splurge on her.”
“Indeed.”
