Chapter 147

“Another potential partner?”
“Most likely.”
Like Rex, he and Harry, as well as Levi, usually didn’t have much to do with each other. Harry wouldn’t
call him for no reason.
Besides, the He family, like the Hardin family, had connections in the political and military circles. They
were very well–informed.
Johnny asked Maggie, “Should I take the call?”
Maggie, as Franklin’s wife, knew that people like Harry, who accepted Julia but disregarded her, would naturally feel the same way about her. To Johnny, Harry was even more detestable than Rex.
Maggie replied, “Take it.”
She didn’t want Johnny to act out of spite.
Johnny answered the call.
Just as he expected, Harry, like Rex, was calling to seek collaboration.
After Harry explained his intention, Johnny replied, “I understand your position, Mr. Becker. If it’s a good fit, we’ll definitely consider it. Please rest assured.”
Harry wasn’t stupid either. He knew Johnny’s response was polite but left no room for commitment.
He still wanted to take the opportunity to invite Johnny out for a meal, but Johnny used the excuse of being too busy with company affairs to decline the invitation and ended the call.
He looked at Maggie and said, “Harry and Rex, both from the top families in the country, I can understand them getting the news right away. But the Brown family…”
The Brown family was an outsider in the capital, still trying to establish itself. For them to hear the news
so soon meant…
Maggie understood what he was implying. The Brown family getting the news so early probably meant that Franklin or Harry had leaked it to them.
Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time
Considering Franklin’s feelings for Julia, and the relationship between Harry and Julia, it wasn’t Surprising at all that they would inform the Brown family.
Johnny smirked. His good mood was completely ruined.
But he knew that Maggie’s mood was probably even worse.
He said, “Let’s go. Senior Brother has plenty of money. Senior Brother will treat you to a big meal!”
Maggie’s mood wasn’t as bad as Johnny thought. She had long since learned to let go of many things.
Her mood wasn’t easily swayed by those people anymore.
Moreover, this time, the initiative was in her hands. She had nothing to worry about.
But since Johnny wanted to treat her to a meal, she naturally wouldn’t turn him down.
She smiled, “Thank you, Senior Brother.”
With that, she and Johnny left together.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Maggie’s expression remained neutral as she saw the people from the Brown and Green families walking towards them.
Johnny muttered under his breath, “What a small world.”
The Brown and Green families were visibly pleased upon seeing Johnny.
Logan smiled and said, “Mr. Gray, we meet again.”
Johnny gave a faint smile. “Yes, we meet again.”
Logan chuckled and said, “What a coincidence. How about joining us?”
Earlier, when he called Johnny, Logan had already planned to invite him for a meal, and now that they had coincidentally met, he certainly didn’t want to miss this opportunity.
Johnny politely declined, “No, this is my personal time. Maybe next time.”
“Ah… alright, next time then.”
