Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time novel Chapter 262

Chapter 262 

Although, if handled properly, the impact might not be significant, but for Julia, it was certainly not a good thing 

She glanced at Sophia and said in a calm tone, “Sophia is not a child anymore. From now on, she really needs to be more careful with her words and actions.” 

If this matter wasn’t handled well, the impact on their family could be fatal! 

“I, I-” 

What she thought was a small matter had now escalated like this. Sophia was already scared. It had been a long time since anyone had scolded her so seriously. She felt wronged but had no choice but to admit her mistake, saying, “I 

understand. 11l be more careful from now on.” 

Old Lady Green didn’t say anything further. 

Seeing her scolding her own granddaughter, Old Lady Green naturally didn’t feel very comfortable. 

But this matter had indeed been caused by Sophia. 

If it really affected the future of Wilson Tech’s autonomous vehicles, the loss would be too great. 

Compared to that, Sophia being scolded once wasn’t really that much. 

Thus, even though she felt uncomfortable, she didn’t argue for Sophia. 

In any case, this matter was not something they could hide if they wanted to. 

After all, if Cole insisted on terminating the contract, Franklin would inevitably find out sooner or later. 

Julia understood this logic, and Janice and Old Lady Green naturally did too. 

The meal had already been served, but none of them had touched their chopsticks. 

They had already lost their appetite. 

Julia squeezed her phone, thinking for a moment before taking a deep breath. 

She stood up and left the private room, dialing Franklin’s number. 

On the other end. Franklin picked up the phone quickly. “Hello?” 

“Franklin.” Julia said. “Ive run into some trouble here…”

She briefly recounted the events, then added, “At that time, her attitude was a bit aggressive. I couldn’t stand anyone speaking badly of my mother, and in the heat of the moment, I was misled, which led to this situation.” 

After listening to her, Franklin replied, “You’re mistaken.” 

“If they go to court, they won’t just ask for the termination of the contract and compensation for your company’s reputation damage.” 

“They’ll also demand breach of contract penalties because, on the surface, it’s your fault that the cooperation can’t continue. Terminating the contract also results in losses for Cole, and they won’t just let you off the hook for that.” 

Julia froze, replying, “Johnny didn’t mention this in the phone call.” 

“He did it on purpose,” Franklin said. 

“He downplayed the situation to make you think there’s room for negotiation, to let you lower your guard. By calling Johnny to admit the mistake and apologize, you’ve just given him a good opportunity to hold something over you.” 

He then added, “If I’m not mistaken, Johnny has probably already recorded your conversation.” 

Julia’s heart skipped a beat. It was only then that she suddenly realized, “So, she intentionally made me call Johnny? The goal was to leave evidence for them?” 

Franklin replied, “Yes.” 

Julia bit her lip. 

She hadn’t expected Maggie to be so calculating. 

It was only now that she understood this matter was far more complicated than she had originally thought. 

After a moment of silence, she regained her composure and asked, “So, what should we do about this?” 

Franklin was straightforward, “I might not be able to fix this. Cole has government backing, so I can’t touch Johnny.”
