Chapter 48
Over at the side, after hearing this, Jessica had more or less figured out the identities of Logan and his family.
“Ah, so they’re just a bunch of scumbags,” she muttered softly, then quickly paid and grabbed Maggie’s arm, heading for the door.
“Mag,” Logan called out, stopping them. He walked over and said,
“Your aunt really cares about you. She’s always thinking about you. You and Julie are sisters, family. Like with this Cole situation, your father hopes this kind of thing never happens again.”
Maggie laughed, her expression cold. “Are you trying to disgust me on purpose?”
“You-‘
“Auntie, if she doesn’t want to, then she doesn’t want to. And even if she does, my sister still wouldn’t want to. What’s her status? How could she possibly be sisters with my sister?”
She scoffed lightly and looked at Maggie.
“You target my sister and stop her from getting into Cole, but you don’t know this: the more you target my sister, the more her husband loves her. Just now, when her husband found out you and the boss at Cole were bullying my sister, he immediately went to confront Cole.
Though it didn’t lead to anything, as compensation for what my sister went through, her husband handed us a multi–billion–dollar project these past two days. And that project was something your brother–in–law has been begging for recently. Hahaha…”
Maggie bit her lip, her fist clenched.
Jessica was also furious, scoffing, “Has Julia married Franklin yet? You’re calling him ‘brother–in–law‘ even though they’re not even married? How shameless!”

“You!”
“Enough, Sophie,” Logan said, pulling Sophia back. He sighed, then turned to Maggie and said, “Mag, Julie is a genius in the Al field. She has important things to do at Cole, You should control your temper and stop targeting her.”
“Are you done talking?” Maggie looked at him, her eyes cold. “If you’re done, you can leave.
Tracy, who had been silent until now, fanned the flames, “Mag, how can you speak to your
father like this?”
Sophia echoed, “Exactly, you have no manners!”
Maggie replied coldly, “I have no manners? At least I don’t go around becoming a mistress.”
“You!”
“Enough,” Logan said, disappointed, seeing that Maggie wouldn’t listen. “Let’s go.”
“Hmph!”
Logan grabbed the custom gift and quickly left with Sophia and the others.
After they walked away, Jessica looked at Maggie with concern. “Mag…”
Maggie shook her head lightly and said: “I’m fine.”
Ever since Logan and her mother divorced, in her heart, he was no longer her father.
What really hurt her was that because of her, her uncle had been burdened even more. And it also hurt her because of Franklin’s favoritism.
Every time she thought about how Franklin only cared about Julia, and how he had been ruthless toward Johnny and her uncle for Julia’s sake, without ever considering her feelings, it felt like a knife was twisting in her heart.
The pain was unbearable.

“Mag…”
Jessica hugged her with a sympathetic look on her face.
Maggie forced a smile but didn’t say anything.
It’s okay.
She had already decided to move on.
Just give her some time.
She could do it.
“Would you like to grab a drink?”
Jessica thought that Maggie needed to relax a little.
Maggie shook her head. “No need.”
Rather than drinking, she preferred to go home and research her data.
At home, she found it easier to calm down, relax, and regain her focus.
When Jessica heard this, she didn’t insist.
The two of them went to the parking lot, and just before getting in the car, Maggie’s phone
rang.
It was a call from Isabella.
