Chapter 535
Back in her room, Maggie pulled open the drawer, only to find that the marriage certificate she’d kept there was gone.
A few days ago, she’d clearly confirmed that Isabella had put it back after looking at it.
Could it be that Isabella had come over again in the past couple of days and taken it out?
Maggie pressed her lips together and picked up her phone, about to contact Isabella, when a message from Franklin came in.
“There’s a major issue with a project in France. I’m on the way to the airport now. I won’t be able to make it to get the certificate today. Sorry.”
Maggie tightened her lips, her expression darkening.
In the end, she couldn’t hold it in and sent a message back.
“I understand that you’re busy with work, but how many times has this been already?!”
Whether Franklin was tied up or already on the plane, her message went unanswered for quite a while.
When Maggie arrived at the office, Johnny didn’t look as surprised to see her as he had before.
Lowering his voice, he asked, “Because of that innovative drug project in France, he flew out today, right? So you two still didn’t manage to divorce?”
Maggie froze. “How do you know?”
“I just saw the news. It’s blowing up online.”
Franklin had only mentioned a major project issue in his text, without specifying which one. Maggie genuinely didn’t know what had happened.
Hearing Johnny say that, she went online to take a look and realized the situation really was serious. No wonder Franklin had rushed to France.
Johnny continued, “If he’s gone this time, he probably won’t be back for at least ten days. Don’t tell me you still won’t be divorced by the end of this month?”
To be honest, he hadn’t expected Maggie and Franklin’s divorce to run into so many setbacks.
He’d thought that since both of them were so determined to divorce and the early discussions ha
oothly, the actual process would be straightforward. Yet somehow, when it came down to it, one thing after another kept getting in the way, and they still couldn’t go through with it.
Maggie didn’t say anything.
She could understand that Franklin had an emergency.
But-
Her mood was still far from good.
She had other matters to deal with. Without saying much, she left the office.
Watching her walk away, Johnny suddenly recalled some online rumors. They claimed that the current turmoil around the France innovative drug project was actually a setup orchestrated by Franklin and his fellow capital players.
On the surface, it looked like they were on the defensive, but in reality, everything was still under their control. The real goal was to clean house and show a few people the door.
However, Johnny didn’t have much of a network in France. Whether those rumors were true or not, he had no way of knowing.
