Chapter 55
Levi raised an eyebrow.
Adele bit her lip, quickly looked away, and gently pushed Johnny aside. Johnny, not noticing Franklin and the others, looked at her with concern. “Did you twist your ankle?”
Adele shook her head. “No.”
“Good. Let’s go.”
“Mm.”
Adele didn’t look back at Franklin and the others and walked up the stairs with Johnny.
Seeing Adele’s reaction, Levi looked at Franklin with disbelief. “That was your wife, right?”
Franklin didn’t reply.
“She acted like she didn’t see us, yet walked so closely with Johnny. Is this her new strategy to win you over? Trying to get your attention on purpose?”
Before Franklin could respond, Levi chuckled. “She’s got some tricks up her sleeve.“–
Franklin remained silent, only saying faintly, “Let’s go.”
By the time they arrived at the private room, Julia and Isabella were already there.
Julia asked, “What’s so funny?”
Levi laughed, “Nothing, just met someone interesting.”
After dinner, Franklin and Isabella returned home.
After getting out of the car, Isabella ran upstairs happily, calling, “Mommy, Mommy~”
Aunt Sara heard the noise and came out of the kitchen. “Madam hasn’t returned yet.”
“Huh?” Isabella looked disappointed. “Why is Mommy so busy lately?”
Complaining, she went upstairs.
Seeing that Franklin was standing still, Aunt Sara asked, “Sir?”
Franklin shook his head. “It’s nothing.”
Then, he also went upstairs.
That night, Franklin realized that Adele hadn’t returned.
The next morning, Isabella woke up, thinking she would be able to eat the breakfast that Adele had prepared for her.
Seeing that the breakfast on the table was not the one made by Adele, she frowned. “Didn’t Mommy get up to make breakfast?”
“Madam’s not at home,” Aunt Sara answered.
Isabella felt confused. “Where did Mommy go? Did she go back to Grandma’s house again?”
“Probably…” Aunt Sara couldn’t say for sure
Isabella looked at Franklin. “Daddy…”
Franklin spoke slowly, “If you want to know, call her yourself.”
“Then I’ll ask her tonight,” she said.

Meanwhile, after finishing breakfast, Adele went to the office.
Upon arriving at the company, Johnny was about to discuss the development of a new product with Adele when his phone rang
The person on the other end asked, “Did your company offend the Collins family recently?”
“What?” Johnny was stunned and looked at Adele, turning on the speakerphonë.
“Someone from Collins family wanted to cause trouble for your company, but we managed to stop them.”
Upon hearing this, Adele froze, her fingers clenched into fists.
After that dinner, Franklin hadn’t confronted her about the matter of bullying Julia with Johnny, and she thought he wasn’t going to pursue it.
It turns out that he hadn’t ignored it. He simply couldn’t be bothered to argue with her, and was using actions to make it clear that since she had harmed Julia, she would have to pay the price!
At this point, Johnny understood what was going on.
He patted Adele’s hand and reassured her, “Don’t worry. Our company has close ties with the government. They can’t do anything to us.”
“Mm.”
Thankfully, that was the case.
Otherwise…
To get back at Julia, with Franklin’s power and financial resources, even if Cole wasn’t completely ruined, it would definitely suffer a huge blow, right?
He really does protect Julia tightly!
Johnny, feeling a little concerned, asked, “Now that they can’t target Cole, will they go after Miller family?”
Adele shook her head. “No.”
With Old Madam Collins around, Franklin wouldn’t easily target Miller family.
He still had to give face to Old Madam Collins.
“That’s a relief…” Johnny breathed out.
Later that evening, as the workday was nearing its end, Adele received a phone call from Isabella, “Mommy, when are you coming home? I’m so hungry!”
“Didn’t I ask Aunt Sara to make you something?” Adele replied.
“But I want to eat the crab cake you make.” Isabella added, her previous meal request left untouched, so now she wanted it even more.
Adele didn’t want to go back.
