The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 155

Leon suddenly realized that Killian hadn't called him in today for something trivial.

The face-down photo frame wasn't an accident either. Killian had done it on purpose, wanting him to discover the truth himself.

This was typical of Killian's methods—effortlessly subtle, yet exerting an overwhelming sense of pressure.

"Killian, there must be a misunderstanding here. I can explain everything," Leon said, his chest tightening as he scrambled for words.

But Killian merely raised a hand, pressing it down slightly to indicate it wasn't necessary.

"I don't have any misunderstandings, so you don't need to explain anything."

His gaze was calm and clear, making it obvious he meant every word.

Leon grew even more confused. If there wasn't a misunderstanding, then why...

"She isn't worth my misunderstanding. I know exactly what kind of character Jillian has and what she's capable of. The one who actually misunderstood is Eleanor."

Leon's face instantly went deathly pale, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"A few days ago at the old manor, Eleanor slapped Jillian in public. She looked quite furious."

Killian stated the facts evenly, without a single ripple of emotion. "Find some time to visit her. She's getting old, and you're the only person she truly cares about. She has high hopes for you. Don't let her down."

With that, Killian waved his hand, dismissing him.

Stepping out of the CEO's office, Leon pressed his back firmly against the wall and let out a heavy, shuddering breath.

It finally clicked in his mind. From the very beginning, Killian was never the one who misunderstood his relationship with Jillian.

In fact, Killian didn't care at all. Every word he spoke bled with utter disdain and contempt for her.

Instead, it was Eleanor who had misunderstood...

Or rather, it wasn't a misunderstanding. Leon had single-handedly dragged Jillian into trouble.

After agonizing over it, Leon pulled out his phone and sent Jillian an apology text. "I'm sorry. Because of me, Eleanor misunderstood you. I'll go back and explain everything to her personally."

At that moment, Jillian was still completely in the dark about what had caused the incident at the old estate.
