He wasn't sure...
At that moment, Maggie and Johnny entered the meeting room.
Although both Harry and Rex weren't exactly to Johnny's liking, it was clear that Harry had a much friendlier attitude toward Maggie than toward Rex.

Rex didn't have any objections to this arrangement, but Harry...
Harry smiled and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Miss Miller." Maggie replied, "You're too kind, Mr. Becker. Please, this way." After they sat down, Maggie started talking with Harry's technical team. They discussed business, and by the tthey were done, it was already dark outside.

"I have more than 10 million here," Maggie replied. "If that's not enough, we can auction off those two gifts from the last tGrandma's birthday to raise sfunds."
During her grandmother's birthday, the two gifts given by Franklin were already set aside fox this purpose. Now, with the divorce proceedings, she was prepared to auction them off. Franklin wouldn mind. However...

Maggie glanced at the villa across from her.

After receiving the news, Franklin's expression didn't change. He replied, "Alright, I understand." The person on the other end asked, "Do you want us to keep the items for you?" Franklin answered, "No need." The caller quickly hung up, not daring to disturb him any further.
