Mr. CEO, Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time Novel

Old Fisher didn’t know Maggie either, but he had noticed her. She had an exceptionally beautiful appearance, and her temperament was gentle and well–mannered, like a well–bred girl from a good family. To him, such a girl seemed perfect as a potential granddaughter–in–law…

He certainly hadn’t expected her to be good at chess.

Franklin looked at Maggie. “You first?”

In the game of Go, the player who goes first typically holds an advantage.

Maggie didn’t decline, and made her first move.

Franklin followed suit.

At the beginning, neither of them made any obvious moves, keeping their plays subtle. They didn’t speak, focusing entirely on the game.

Maggie simply watched the board, barely even glancing at Franklin sitting across from her.

After a while, Old Hall, Old Fisher, and the others noticed that Maggie’s style of play was as gentle and steady as her demeanor.

Whether attacking or defending, she moved slowly and deliberately, showing that she had full control · over the game. She wasn’t just making moves one step at a time but was planning several moves ahead.

Realizing this, Old Hall, Old Fisher, and the others were surprised.

Before, they had praised Julia for her quick reflexes and strategic play, and while she was indeed skilful she had been guided throughout the game by Franklin.

Even though Franklin had intentionally been taking it easy on her, the game still had the feel of a young couple’s playful interaction.

Despite this, Julia was certainly among the best when it came to adaptability and cognitive ability for girls of her age.

But now…

Franklin seemed to realize that Maggie wasn’t following his strategy. Instead, she was trying to draw him

into her own plan.

When Franklin hesitated and slowed down his attacks, Maggie didn’t give him an opening. She seized the opportunity, simultaneously defending and launching a counterattack, forcing Franklin to pause for a

moment as he made his move.

He looked up at Maggie and gave a slight smile.

Seeing Maggie’s bold maneuver, Old Fisher couldn’t help but exclaim, “Beautiful!”

Johnny raised an eyebrow and smiled.

Harry and Jimmy were both stunned.

They realized that by this point, they had already lost track of Maggie’s thinking. In fact, they had been deceived by her calm, steady defensive moves earlier, not noticing her hidden tactics.
