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

---- Chapter 497 "Th-this..." Everyone at the scene stared at each other in shock. Mr. Claremont had already suspected Franklin had feelings for Maggie, but he never imagined Franklin would act so openly-so unrestrainedly-right in front of everyone. He cleared his throat and gently reminded, "Then we'll trouble Mr. Wilson. Miss Miller has a good relationship with one of Cole's female engineers. Perhaps... she could accompany Miss Miller upstairs to take care of her?" The Cole staff immediately nodded nervously. "Yes, Mr. Wilson, maybe-" Franklin cut them off.

"No need." He looked at the Cole employees. "If you're ---- worried, you can inform Mr. Gray." After that, he said no more and carried the unconscious Maggie out of the hall. Cole's people were stunned. For a moment, none of them understood what Franklin meant by that. But this was serious, they definitely needed to notify Johnny. Someone quickly called Johnny, stumbling through a tense explanation. Johnny nearly crushed his molars from clenching his jaw, but his voice remained level. "I've already arranged for someone to assist Miss Miller. Nothing you're imagining will happen.

Don't worry." Hearing this, the caller finally let out a breath of relief. Everyone else, despite lingering doubts, also relaxed ---- somewhat. Meanwhile, Franklin entered the elevator, Maggie in his arms. This entire scene was witnessed by Sophia and the Green family. They saw Franklin openly carry Maggie in front of so many people, taking her upstairs as if he genuinely cared about her. Oddly, none of them found it especially alarming. After all, even if they were divorcing, Maggie was still Franklin's legal wife.

If she was drunk, him escorting her back to her room wasn't exactly scandalous. Still... They all knew Franklin had always been cold toward Maggie. ---- So cold that he treated her like a stranger. He wouldn't spare her a glance even if she lived or died. Compared to the past, his behavior tonight was different, very different. But the Green family didn't take it to heart. However... Chad noticed them. He saw Franklin holding Maggie and leading her into the elevator. He wasn't shocked, this exact scene had already happened once not long ago.

He glanced at Franklin's expression as they rode up. Franklin was looking down at Maggie, face unreadable. When they reached the floor, Chad went ahead to open the door. Franklin carried Maggie inside. Chad remained outside the room, waiting. He waited ten minutes. ---- Then twenty. Still no sign of Franklin coming out. Chad hesitated, then finally gave up waiting and headed back downstairs. Just as he stepped into the elevator, he ran into the Green family. Old Mrs. Green and the others greeted him politely. "Chad." Chad nodded.

Before he could say more, Tracy suddenly froze as realization struck. "Where... where's Franklin?" Chad paused, then answered, "Mr. Wilson... is still inside the room." Everyone instantly understood what that meant. They were stunned. ---- Sophia reacted first, voice rising sharply, "W-wait, what?! Are you saying my brother-in-law hasn't come out ever since he carried that bitch upstairs?!" Chad nodded, though after a moment, he added quietly: "This doesn't necessarily mean anything." Because he truly believed Franklin still loved Julia.

Even if Franklin seemed different lately around Maggie, Chad didn't think he would do anything that would hurt Julia.
