the employees from their team to a big lunch on the third day at noon.
By the tthey had almost finished eating, Maggie went to the bathroom.
When she cout and was on her way back to the private room, she suddenly stopped in
her tracks.
Not far away, Julia and seven or eight people were leaving another private room.
They quickly entered the elevator, and didn’t notice her.
“Who are they?”
Johnny had somehow appeared by her side.
He had clearly seen Julia and the Brown family members-Logan, Lauren, and the others.
Apart from them, he also noticed a beautiful woman and an elderly lady.

grandmother's villa area, seemingly planning to settle in the capital city.

However, after more than an hour of shopping, they still hadn't found anything.
While Jessica went inside to try on clothes, Maggie's phone rang again. It was Isabella.

Normally, even when Franklin was on a business trip, Isabella would go hang out with
Julia.
But since tomorrow was the weekend, and instead of going to Julia, she called her, Maggie guessed that it was
probably because Julia didn’t have time.
After all, with Logan and the others already in the capital, and Franklin away, Julia likely
had no tto spend with her.
“You can entertain yourself for now. Cback tomorrow.”
“Alright!” Isabella immediately perked up. “So we're agreed, you'll be back tomorrow
morning?”
“Mm.”
That evening, she still hadn't found a satisfactory gift.
Her grandmother’s birthday was fast approaching. Maggie had considered just picking something decent and
making do, but in the end, she still didn’t buy anything.
The next morning.
Maggie returned to Franklin's villa.
While Isabella was eating, Maggie remembered that she had something to take with her, so
she went upstairs to the master bedroom.
As soon as she entered, her eyes were drawn to the two exquisite jewelry boxes placed
neatly on her vanity.
Just like the property deed from before, since these items were placed on her vanity, it was
clear that they were meant for her.
Maggie was puzzled and opened one of the round, delicate jewelry boxes.
As soon as she opened it and saw what was inside, she froze for a moment.

This... this was the set of emerald jewelry she had tried to bid for at the auction a few days
ago!
The other box was a rectangular, heavy square box.
Could it be...?
She put down the round jewelry box in her hand and opened the other one. Sure enough,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏminside was a scroll.
She picked up the scroll and placed it on the round table in the room, slowly unrolling it.
A vivid and luminous embroidered picture appeared before her eyes.
Looking at these two items-exactly what she had wanted a few days ago-now both were in
her hands.
Maggie was silent for quite a while.
She thought to herself, if she wasn’t mistaken, these two items were gifts Franklin had bought at the auction for
her grandmother's birthday.
One was meant to be given in Old Madam Wilson's name.
The other... was meant to be given in the nof herself and Franklin as husband and
wife...
“Mom, I'm done eating! We can go now!”
At that moment, Isabella crunning up the stairs from below.
When she saw the two jewelry boxes Maggie had opened, she leaned over to take a look and then said, “Oh,
these were the ones Dad brought back a few days ago. He said they were for
you, Mom.”
Maggie gave a light “Mm” sound, slowly rolling the scroll back up and placing it back in the jewelry box.
