With that, their conversation with their teacher seemed to come to an end.
At that moment, Nolan turned to Maggie.
Maggie straightened her back. “Teacher…”
“Who did you find?”
Nolan gave her a cold glance, said that line, and then turned to leave.
Maggie froze for a moment.
Johnny said, “Teacher was asking about your husband.”
Nolan’s meaning was clear: Look at who you’ve married!
Maggie immediately understood.
But…
“Did they say anything?”
Earlier, during the conference, she and Johnny were quite far from the front row.
Although they saw that when their teacher finished his speech and sat down, Franklin and
Julia had both stood to greet him, she wasn’t sure what exactly they had said.
Johnny shook his head. “I don’t know.”
Maggie: “…”
That made sense.
They were deeply engaged in conversation, and when she and Johnny spoke to Nolan, Julia

and Lauren had also come out, coincidentally seeing them speaking with Nolan.
Watching Nolan’s departing figure, Lauren turned to Julia and said, “It’s fine. She doesn’t have your level of expertise. So what if she knows Nolan? It’s not useful to her. She can’t become his disciple.”
Julia: “I know.”
She said, “Let’s go.”
Maggie and the others were just stepping out to speak with Nolan, not leaving for good.
After all, it was a great opportunity to network with industry peers. It would be a shame to
leave just like that.
So after Nolan left, they returned to the exhibition hall.
Later, they also saw Franklin, but Maggie didn’t go up to speak to him, and Franklin didn’t
approach either.
To others, it seemed like they were complete strangers.
Julia and her group didn’t leave either.
Previously, when Logan saw Maggie at the jewelry store, he had taken the initiative to greet her, expressing his feelings for her.
But today, in this setting, despite encountering each other several times, he didn’t show the
same level of initiative or concern as before.
Thinking about this, Maggie found it somewhat laughable.
But she also understood why.
After all, Julia is present. Now, everyone knows that he is Julia’s father. If he comes over and acknowledges her, and people find out about her marriage to Franklin, how would he, as a father, still have the face to stand here?
Julia would probably be drowned in a sea of gossip as well.

Clearly, Logan’s bias toward Julia is glaringly obvious.
Logan didn’t want to have any connection with Maggie in this kind of setting, but he couldn’t afford to ignore someone like Johnny.
So, when Maggie went to the restroom, he, along with Julia and Lauren, walked over to Johnny.
He introduced himself, saying, “Mr. Gray, hello, I’m Logan, the father of Julie… and Maggie.
It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Johnny politely shook his hand and replied, “Oh, Mr. Brown, it’s a pleasure to meet you too.”
Logan glanced at Julia and said, “Mag’s temper can be a bit extreme, and there’s some misunderstanding between her and Julie.
As a father, I’ve always hoped they could get along, but unfortunately, Mag never listens…”
Johnny nodded in understanding, “Ah, I see…”
“Yeah,” Logan sighed before continuing with a smile, “But, Mag is lucky to know someone
like you, a talented young man.
As a father, I’m really happy for her. I heard she started working at your company, so I’ll trouble you to look after her in the future, please.”
It truly sounded like he cared about Maggie.
If Logan hadn’t deliberately approached him when Maggie wasn’t around, if he didn’t know about Maggie’s past and her relationship with Franklin, Johnny might have believed his
words.
But Johnny didn’t say that. He smiled and said, “You’re too kind, Mr. Brown. Mag is an outstanding person, and having her with us is truly a blessing for our company, Cole.”
Logan and Julia both took it as a polite remark.
Given Maggie’s resume, what could she possibly contribute to Johnny?

She might only be good for running errands or doing the kind of work that an ordinary programmer would do…
However, Logan didn’t say that out loud.
Julia didn’t respond either.
Lauren gave a nonchalant smile.
