Chapter 125
After dinner, as soon as Maggie returned home, she received a call from Johnny.
After learning the reason for Nolan’s call, he said, “Hardin and Hall? I already know them.”
Then he continued, “By the way, that Rex is actually Reed Hardin’s son. His dad is so impressive, I just don’t know why the son is so young and yet blind.”
Maggie hadn’t expected that Rex was Reed’s son, but it didn’t really concern her.
On Tuesday, the initial test for Wilson Tech’s self–driving car was scheduled. Maggie and Johnny went to Wilson Tech early in the morning.
By the time they arrived, Rex and Yves had already been there.
When they saw them, they just glanced briefly and then looked away.
Johnny wasn’t bothered and pulled Maggie to begin the test work.
Seeing that the preliminary preparations were complete but no one had started testing, Johnny asked, “Why haven’t we started?”
President Kim replied, “Mr. Wilson will personally come to check the testing situation. Once he arrives, we’ll start.”
Johnny said, “…Oh.”
Then he remembered something and asked, “By the way, why haven’t I seen Miss Brown today? Didn’t she say she was coming to Wilson Tech to improve herself?”
Why had she disappeared after only a few days?
President Kim laughed, “Oh, Miss Brown wanted to improve herself, right? Mr. Wilson said the fastest and best way to improve is to lead a team and do a project.
Chapter 125
So, last week, Mr. Wilson had someone reorganize a previously shelved company project. These past two days, Miss Brown–no, she should be called Director Brown now–she formed a team and is having a meeting upstairs.”
Johnny was taken aback.
He turned to look at Maggie and saw that she was writing down the previous test details, showing no reaction to Kim’s comment about Mr. Wilson assembling a team for Julia.
He sighed and patted her head.
Maggie swatted his hand away, “Stop it.”
Johnny didn’t respond, but from the tone, it seemed like she was no longer bothered.
He was relieved.
At that moment, Franklin arrived, accompanied by Harry and Levi.
Harry and Levi seemed surprised to see them.
When they saw Maggie, they were visibly shocked.
Maggie didn’t show any emotion, glancing at them before quickly looking away.
Franklin, however, politely greeted them, “Thank you for your hard work, everyone.”
Kim said, “Mr. Wilson, can we start now…?”
“Wait, we’re waiting for one more person.” Franklin checked his watch, “I’ll go upstairs to check, please wait here for a moment.”
With that, he left.
Maggie didn’t intend to think too much about it, but she knew that the person Franklin was referring to was Julia. In other words, they would start the official test after Julia finished her meeting.

Johnny evidently realized the same thing and gritted his teeth, nearly swearing.
Franklin and Julia soon came downstairs together..
They were accompanied by Sophia.
Sophia wasn’t surprised to see Maggie because Julia had informed her in advance.
When she saw Maggie, who was clearly Franklin’s wife, but was only allowed to wait for Julia to come down like a subordinate, Sophia’s eyes gleamed with a hint of mockery and
smugness.
Maggie didn’t care about why Sophia was dressed in a professional suit at Wilson Tech, nor did she care about her attitude.
She simply shifted her gaze away..
Julia politely apologized, “Sorry for making everyone wait.”
Julia’s apology seemed sincere, but she only directed it towards Rex, Yves, and Johnny.
She didn’t even spare a glance at Maggie.
Clearly, her apology didn’t include her.
Rex, not paying attention to Maggie, didn’t care about such details and said, “It’s only a few minutes, no problem.”
“Mr. Hardin is very magnanimous,” Johnny said, standing up, his tone cold, “Since you’re here, let’s not waste any more time. Let’s get started.”
Franklin, who arrived at that moment, politely said, “It’s our fault. Mr. Gray, please.”
Johnny sneered, pulling Maggie with him as they left the meeting room.
Seeing Johnny holding Maggie’s hand intimately, Franklin glanced at them but quickly turned his eyes away, apparently not caring.
Chapter 122
Harry, however, couldn’t help but look at the two of them for a moment.
Among the group, Franklin and Julia were clearly the center of attention.
At the test site, the staff respectfully reported, “Mr. Wilson, Miss Brown, we’re ready.”
The staff clearly regarded Julia as the lady boss.
Franklin nodded, “Let’s begin.
“Yes.”
They could clearly see the driving performance on the monitor.
After the test driver successfully completed a round of testing, the staff asked Franklin and Julia if they wanted to experience it themselves.
Franklin agreed.
He and Julia got into the same vehicle.
On the monitor, they could be seen talking cheerfully, their gazes seemingly intertwining.
Maggie continued watching the monitor, not looking away, her expression calm.
Johnny, on the other hand, looked disgusted.
Levi, eager to try, was about to speak to Harry when Sophia walked over to him, “Mr. Becker, we-”
Harry interrupted, “You go ahead. I’m not too interested.”
Sophia was taken aback.
Meanwhile, Kim asked Johnny and Maggie, “Mr. Gray, Miss Miller, would you like to try?”
They were more familiar with the car’s condition than many of Wilson Tech’s staff.
Chapter 12
Originally, they might have been interested in trying, but after what happened, what was
the point?
Johnny snorted, “No thanks.”
Maggie smiled slightly and whispered to him about the car’s engine performance, “Are you sure you don’t want to try?”
Johnny shot her a look before asking. “How do you
know?”
