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

Chapter 280

Once the termination was confirmed, Julia called Franklin to inform him.

“During the auction, I slipped up while chatting with Madam Gray. She caught onto something I said, and now it’s very clear that Johnny has no interest in working with Wilson Tech anymore. Even if I took it to court and won, there’s no guarantee they wouldn’t create trouble later. Since they clearly don’t want to collaborate, I figured it’s better to end things early and find a new partner–it might not be such a bad thing.”

Franklin didn’t ask what exactly she had said that gave Madam Gray leverage. He simply responded, “Since you’ve decided, then terminate the contract. Do you need help with the termination fee?”

“Okay. Thank you, Franklin.”

Johnny and Maggie left the termination process entirely to their legal team.

When Julia received the termination clause from Cole, her brows furrowed at the sight of the penalty amount–over
