Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time novel Chapter 734

Chapter 734

The second Johnny finished his sentence, chaos exploded across the entire ballroom.

Rex froze solid. A deafening roar seemed to ring inside his skull, and he questioned whether he had misheard every single word that had just come out of Johnny’s mouth.

Maggie was not Franklin’s ex-wife?

How could this be?

He had not completely forgotten Jimmy’s earlier remark that Maggie’s divorce had never been finalized.

Still, rumors had circulated for years claiming Franklin was already divorced.

When everyone learned Maggie was Isabella’s birth mother, Rex, just like every other guest in attendance, had automatically assumed Maggie was that secret ex-wife Franklin almost never brought up in public.

To make matters worse, Franklin and Julia had been seen together for nearly two full years.

Under those circumstances, how could Maggie still legally be his wife?

What did that make Julia?

A cold sense of shock washed over Rex. His eyes snapped sharply toward Julia, searching for answers.

If Franklin and Maggie’s marriage was still valid, Julia’s whole position crumbled apart.

None of this added up.

Yves stood there utterly dumbfounded, struggling to process what he had just heard.

Franklin and Maggie were still married? This revelation blew every single one of his previous assumptions completely out of the water.

Some distance away, Glen stared at Julia, tangled, conflicting feelings swirling deep inside his chest.

He had watched Julia and Franklin meet and grow close with his own eyes. He had never once imagined the ugly truth hiding beneath their seemingly perfect romance.

As the initial shock wore off, the surrounding guests began to connect all the dots, and low-voiced murmurs swelled into loud, unfiltered chatter.

“If Johnny is telling the truth, then that makes Julia the other woman.”

“Absolutely. She carries herself so polished and respectable, you would never guess. She strutted around night in front of the actual wife, acting like she owned the place. No wonder Maggie fought back. If I were in her shoes, I would have gone far harder on her. What a mess.”

Dr. Mercer sat stunned once more, reeling from this fresh bombshell.

Yet Yale was by far the most shattered person in the whole venue.

Just like Rex, he wondered if his ears were playing tricks on him. He stood rooted to the spot for several long

heartbeats before he could find his voice again, his tone thick with disbelief.

“What-what did you just say?”

Johnny wore a calm, knowing smile. “You don’t believe me? Go ahead and ask around. See if I’m lying.”

He tilted his head and directed his gaze toward Franklin and Julia, locking most of his attention straight on Franklin.

Yale’s brain still functioned at half-capacity. Even so, he instinctively turned his eyes toward Julia the moment Johnny spoke.

He needed some kind of confirmation directly from her to prove he had not misinterpreted everything.

Julia had been dreading this exact moment ever since Yale stepped onto the stage.

Maggie now possessed the confidence and power to stand her ground. She no longer had anything to lose, and she

feared Franklin far less than she once had.

Julia had known full well that once Yale made his move, neither Johnny nor Maggie would give her any opening to shut everything down.

Deep down, she had clung to a tiny thread of hope that things might somehow turn out differently.
