Chapter 330

After Mr and Mrs Gray left Franklin asked Have you finished talking to Mrs Gray
Julia smiled and nodded Yes
From Mrs. Gray’s expression earlier, it was clear that she was growing more and more dissatisfied with Maggie.
Mrs Gray had actually known about the situation between Wilson Tech and Cole for some time Johnny had already given her a heads up
When Mrs. Gray spoke with Julia earlier, there hadn’t been a phone call. In fact, Mrs. Gray had recorded their conversation.
She had distanced herself a bit glanced over at Franklin and Julia and then sent the recording to Johnny
Johnny and Maggie hadn t finished work yet After listening to the recording Johnny smiled and went to Maggie s office to tell her about it
After hearing the details Maggie said Now I m almost certain we ve definitely won this lawsuit
“That’s right.”
Their insistence on suing for a contract termination wasn’t just about wanting to break the contract with Wilson Tech; it was also about pressuring Julia.
They wanted to force her into taking action to try to stop the termination. If Julia tried to approach the Miller family or his family to reach a settlement, she would inevitably be tricked into saying something or creating more conflicts.
In short the more Julia tried to do the more mistakes she would make If she just stuck to expressing her a polo g s or willingness to cooperate then after the trial they might not be able to terminate the contract Even if they did the compensation would likely not be very high
But now things had changed
The conflicts between them had already been caused by Julia and now she was framing the termination as something Maggie had manipulated because of personal grudges
It was important to remember that Maggie was not only a core technical staff member of Cole, but also the key person in charge of their cooperation with Wilson Tech.
Julia had not only disrespected the actual details of their cooperation but had also in an attempt to avoid the termination unfairly smeared the key technical personnel of their project
This provided them with extremely favorable evidence for the case, making it impossible for them to continue
cooperating
Furthermore, Julia claimed that she and Maggie had personal grievances, which was why Maggie wanted them to
terminate the contract
However when they reached court if the judge asked about their personal is mes want Julia worried that Maggie would openly reveal all of their past conflicts
If it came to that Julia would likely be more concerned about her com personal grievances with Maggie he ing exposed than about the potential termination of the contract between Wilson Tech and Cole
At that point to avoid answering that question julia might even be willing to directly agree to the termination and pay the exorbitant fees they were asking for
Thinking of this Johnny s smile grew even brighter
Just as Johany left Maggie’s office, Maggie’s phone rang
It was a call from Isabella
Actually Isabella had called her earlier that morning but she hadn t answered
Tomorrow was the day of Isabella s fencing competition Isabella must have been calling to confirm whether she could accompany her to the event right
But then again it wasn t certain Maybe she had changed her mind and didn t want her to attend the competition Perhaps she would prefer that Franklin and Julia go with her instead
After all such things had happened before
With this thought in mind Maggie still didn t answer Isabella s call
She set her phone aside and planned to finish the data processing before calling it a day
Isabella called her several more times When she saw that Maggie wasn t answering she felt a sense of disappointment and sadness
Later that evening, when Franklin returned home, he found Isabella sitting on the sofa, holding a small toy, looking glum and upset.
Franklin immediately guessed the problem: “Did Mom not answer your call or couldn’t she come with you?”
Isabella pouted, tugging at the toy’s fuzzy ears. “She didn’t answer.”
She was quiet for a moment then looked up to find Franklin loosening his tie and watching her seemingly waiting for her to make a decision After a few seconds of silence she lowered her gaze and said Since Mom doesn t have time could you and Aunt Julia accompany me to the competition tomorrow
Franklin smiled Sure
T 11 let Aunt Julia know
“Alright.”
“Goodnight, Dad.”
After saying that Isabella hugged the toy and went upstairs
