He decided to come because of that. If anyone should be thanked, it should be you."

Before Maggie could respond, someone called out, "Franklin Wilson?"

Maggie hesitated, then turned to see Franklin walking toward them at the door.

In the quiet room, he made his way toward Old Madam Miller with steady steps. "Happy Birthday," he said, presenting her with a gift box, holding it with both hands.

While the Green family had been shameless in their actions tonight, it was clear that without Franklin's backing, they wouldn have been so bold. But, since there were so many eyes on them, she politely accepted the gift with a distant, courteous smile. "Thank you. You're very thoughtful," she said, then turned to a nearby server. "Please add another chair and place another se of utensils."

Franklin didn't seem bothered by her cool reception. He spotted Nolan, and after giving a calm greeting, "Mr. Nolan," the two exchanged a brief nod.

Seeing Maggie glance at him, Nolan looked back at her and then instructed a waiter to set a chair between him and Maggie. Franklin sat down.
