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

Chapter 229

Since moving out to live alone, Maggie had been too busy with work to buy clothes in recent months. With the season about to change, she realized her wardrobe was looking a bit sparse.

On Saturday, she went out shopping.

She spent over an hour trying on clothes, also picking up a few items for the other members of the Miller family. Afterward, she sat down on a sofa to rest while waiting to check out.

Just then, a voice called out to her from the door. “Cousin?”

Maggie turned to see Jane Hill standing at the entrance.

Jane was the daughter of Lauren, only a few months younger than her. They had grown up playing together and were quite close.

However, since Maggie’s mother had divorced Logan, they had rarely met. The last time they saw each other was three or four years ago.

Back then, before Franklin had met Julia, Jane had somehow found out that Maggie’s uncle’s business was in serious trouble and on the verge of bankruptcy.

She had made the effort to travel all the way from Y City to give Maggie the tens of thousands of dollars she had saved up over the years, hoping it would help.

Maggie smiled. “Long time no see.”

“Long time no see,” Jane replied, visibly excited.

Then, as though remembering something, she looked at Maggie with concern and asked, “Cousin, are

you… are you okay?”

Maggie guessed what she was thinking. She was well aware that Jane knew about her complicated situation with Julia and Franklin.

She knew that Maggie had loved Franklin for many years, but he had never returned her feelings, and that he had immediately been captivated by Julia when he met her.

Jane understood just how attractive Julia was to men.
