Chapter 104
The next two days were very busy for Maggie at work. She had planned to take some time
off to go out and look for a suitable birthday gift for her grandmother, but she never managed to find the time.
After two consecutive busy days, Johnny, to reward everyone for their hard work, invited
the employees from their team to a big lunch on the third day at noon.
By the time they had almost finished eating, Maggie went to the bathroom.
When she came out and was on her way back to the private room, she suddenly stopped in
her tracks.
Not far away, Julia and seven or eight people were leaving another private room.
They quickly entered the elevator, and didn’t notice her.
“Who are they?”
Johnny had somehow appeared by her side.
He had clearly seen Julia and the Brown family members–Logan, Lauren, and the others.
Apart from them, he also noticed a beautiful woman and an elderly lady.
The woman was quite intimate with Logan, so it wasn’t hard to tell that she was Logan’s current wife. As for the elderly lady, she was being helped by Julia.
Maggie withdrew her gaze and said, “The Brown family.”
Johnny understood.
He looked at her and asked, “That elderly lady… is she your…?”
That elderly lady was her grandmother.

“But she’s no longer related to me.”
Johnny gave her a gentle hug. “Shall we go back to the room?”
“Mm.”
She had changed her surname long ago and cut ties with the Brown family.
The Brown family really had no relation to her anymore.
She no longer cared about them.
What mattered to her was something else.
Previously, Julia’s uncle, the Green family, had plans to purchase a property in her
grandmother’s villa area, seemingly planning to settle in the capital city.
She had suspected that the Brown family might also move to the capital.
But she hadn’t really kept track of their news.
Seeing so many of them gathered and clearly heading to the capital, she feared that the plan was already being put into action.
That afternoon, she finished work earlier than usual.
After having a meal with Jessica, they decided to go shopping together.
However, after more than an hour of shopping, they still hadn’t found anything.
While Jessica went inside to try on clothes, Maggie’s phone rang again. It was Isabella.
“Mom, when are you coming back?”
Maggie asked casually, “What’s wrong?”
“Dad’s on a business trip, and I’m so bored.”

Normally, even when Franklin was on a business trip, Isabella would go hang out with
Julia.
But since tomorrow was the weekend, and instead of going to Julia, she called her, Maggie guessed that it was probably because Julia didn’t have time.
After all, with Logan and the others already in the capital, and Franklin away, Julia likely
had no time to spend with her.
“You can entertain yourself for now. Come back tomorrow.”
“Alright!” Isabella immediately perked up. “So we’re agreed, you’ll be back tomorrow
morning?”
“Mm.”
That evening, she still hadn’t found a satisfactory gift.
Her grandmother’s birthday was fast approaching. Maggie had considered just picking something decent and making do, but in the end, she still didn’t buy anything.
The next morning.
Maggie returned to Franklin’s villa.
While Isabella was eating, Maggie remembered that she had something to take with her, so
she went upstairs to the master bedroom.
As soon as she entered, her eyes were drawn to the two exquisite jewelry boxes placed
neatly on her vanity.
Just like the property deed from before, since these items were placed on her vanity, it was
clear that they were meant for her.
Maggie was puzzled and opened one of the round, delicate jewelry boxes.
As soon as she opened it and saw what was inside, she froze for a moment.

This… this was the set of emerald jewelry she had tried to bid for at the auction a few days
ago!
The other box was a rectangular, heavy square box.
Could it be…?
She put down the round jewelry box in her hand and opened the other one. Sure enough,
inside was a scroll.
She picked up the scroll and placed it on the round table in the room, slowly unrolling it.
A vivid and luminous embroidered picture appeared before her eyes.
Looking at these two items–exactly what she had wanted a few days ago–now both were in
her hands.
Maggie was silent for quite a while.
She thought to herself, if she wasn’t mistaken, these two items were gifts Franklin had bought at the auction for her grandmother’s birthday.
One was meant to be given in Old Madam Wilson’s name.
The other… was meant to be given in the name of herself and Franklin as husband and
wife…
“Mom, I’m done eating! We can go now!”
At that moment, Isabella came running up the stairs from below.
When she saw the two jewelry boxes Maggie had opened, she leaned over to take a look and then said, “Oh, these were the ones Dad brought back a few days ago. He said they were for
you, Mom.”
Maggie gave a light “Mm” sound, slowly rolling the scroll back up and placing it back in the jewelry box.

After putting the boxes back, she and Isabella left the house.
Isabella wanted to go shooting, so Maggie accompanied her to the shooting range, then also joined her for a rollercoaster ride.
After spending most of the day with Isabella, the rest of the time was her personal time.
Isabella was still in high spirits and wanted to keep playing.
In the past, Maggie would have given in easily. Everything would have been prioritized for Isabella, with her own matters left behind.
But now, Maggie calmly said, “Mom has other things to do. If you want to keep playing, let the bodyguard stay with you.”
