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

It wasn’t until now that they realized not only could Maggie play, but she was also incredibly good at it.

Julia, standing next to Franklin, was paying more attention to his side of the game. Like Harry and the others, she had already fallen behind in understanding Franklin’s strategy.

Earlier, she had thought that Maggie would soon lose, but now she noticed that Franklin’s expression was becoming more serious, even more focused than when he played against her.

When she saw Old Fisher and the others were also completely absorbed in watching the game, she finally realized that Maggie wasn’t just playing well–she was potentially even better than her.

From then on, she paid more attention to Maggie’s side of the game.

Maggie hesitated for a moment but then sat back down.

Seeing this, Old Hall laughed. “This child seems so quiet, but here she is, actively asking to play another round with the young man from the Wilson family.

She must not have had many strong opponents like him before, huh? Now that she’s finally met one, she doesn’t want to miss the chance.”

He said this to Johnny.

Johnny could tell as well.

He nodded. “Yes.”

Old Hall guessed, “I bet you can’t beat her.”
