Chapter 980:
Maggie had no option but to respond, “Hello, Mrs. Barker p>
“Mrs. Barton, I apologize for the intrusion, but Johan has been smitten with Miss Barton since their first meeting. He’s eager to see her again. I’ve informed him that Miss Barton isn’t interested, yet he remains hopeful. Hence, I’m calling now, hoping you can persuade him to back off p>
Nicola cast a helpless look at her son, who sat beside her, staring expectantly at the phone.
Johan was indifferent to his mother’s concerns; his only focus was on seeing the girl who had won his heart.
Nicola sighed internally, feeling helpless as she observed Johan’s infatuation.
Ellen was on her way out when she overheard Johan’s name and paused.
Maggie couldn’t fathom why Johan was so taken with Ellen, especially after her initial rejection.
She knew Johan was accomplished, having earned a full scholarship abroad at a young age and later founding a tech startup in the AI sector. Despite its nascent stage, his company showed great promise. Initially, Maggie had thought Johan would be a suitable match for Ellen, which was why she had agreed to their meeting.
But Ellen had refused to meet him.

Upon hearing that Ellen was willing to meet him, Johan’s face lit up with a foolish grin.
Johan’s parents exchanged a look, amused and a bit surprised. Johan had always been intelligent, mature, and composed; seeing him this giddy was unprecedented.
Clearly, Johan was deeply smitten with this girl.
“I’m going upstairs to pick out clothes first,” Johan said, hurrying upstairs, only to return moments later.
Nicola assumed he had chosen his outfit, but to her surprise, Johan was headed out the door.
Curious, she inquired about it and discovered that Johan felt none of his current clothes were suitable for the occasion and decided to buy something new.
Ellen faced the same dilemma, cycling through several outfits without finding one that satisfied her, so she decided to shop for something new.
“Mom, come with me,” Ellen said.
Maggie, considering that Yelena had been around for a while without a proper shopping excursion, extended the invitation further and asked, “Yelena, why don’t you join us p>
Yelena was about to decline, but Ellen said, “I don’t want her to come along. What good taste could she have p>
Ellen’s resistance only fueled Yelena’s resolve to join. She said, “Okay, I’ll definitely provide you with the most professional advice p>
