NovelOnline---- Chapter 387 Julia gave a faint smile. "The matter was handled, so | cover." The truth was, she wasn't at
ease. The meeting at Wilson Tech wasn't even halfway through when she left. She knew Franklin wasn't required
to attend Maggie's meeting today, but as she suspected, he still made a special trip downstairs just to listen to
Maggie. The thought left her bitter, her expression stiffening. Franklin glanced at the time. "I have a video call in
about ten minutes. It'll last over an hour.
Cupstairs withfor a while?" Julia: "Alright." That afternoon, when Julia returned to the Brown family
home, Old Mrs. Green looked at her and asked, "Back so soon? Didn't go out to eat with Franklin?" ---- "He still
had work to deal with." "Tsee." Julia was a bit tired. After changing her shoes, she was about to head upstairs to
rest. Janice caught the look on her face and asked, "Did something happen?
You don't look very happy lately." Julia's steps faltered almost imperceptibly, but she quickly recovered, saying
lightly, "No, just a little tired." Wilson Tech had indeed been busy lately, and with no breakthrough in the key
technology, it was only natural she felt drained. So Janice didn't press further, only ordering the servants to
prepare stonic soup for her. By then, Jianian was already hfrom work. When Julia sat down beside her,
Jianian greeted softly, "Cousin." Julia responded with a faint "Mm." ---- While Julia was eating, Tracy suddenly
remembered something.
"Oh right, the Sterling family's daughter just had her engagement broken off by the Talbot family." The Sterling
and Talbot families were prominent in Miami. Their children had grown up together-handsand beautiful, a

striking in looks but also brilliant in academics. While still in university, she had already secured several patents,
pushing her family's business to new heights. The Talbot family had been very pleased with her as a future
daughter-in-law.
Rumor even had it that the wedding was imminent-yet unexpectedly, the Talbots had broken off the
engagement. Old Mrs. Green perked up. "So suddenly? Did something happen?" Tracy's tone carried gossip. "It's
a bit melotic. Supposedly, the Talbot heir cheated-with the Sterling daughter's assistant. That assistant's a
graduate student, capable enough, though nowhere near the Sterling girl in ---- terms of ability. But apparently,
she's fun, not like the Sterling daughter who only thinks about work. Too serious, always locked in the lab.
Anyway, the Talbot heir is now firm about breaking it off." Old Mrs. Green frowned. "Didn't he used to admire the
Sterling girl? Said she was talented and beautiful. He himself was known to be steady and self-disciplined. Hard
to believe he'd do something like this." "Men's feelings are unpredictable. It's not always the most outstanding
woman they love," someone remarked. "Exactly." Sophia, still in a foul mood, interjected sourly, "So what if the
Sterling heiress is talented? She has nothing else.
