The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 158

Jillian kept her head bowed, her words clear. "We can sign a supplementary agreement. After the adoption, I will take full responsibility for all of her living and educational expenses. She won't have any right to inherit your assets. When we divorce in the future, I take her, and you take Connor. We won't interfere with each other."

Killian's eyes darkened as he questioned coldly, "Connor doesn't like her. Have you considered his feelings?"

After a brief silence, Jillian replied, "I don't live my life solely for Connor."

"Stay on the floor as long as you want. I'm not signing."

Jillian remained collapsed on the ground, making no move to rise or argue further.

She had done everything she could, conceded everything possible. Drawing a clear line on the finances, promising child custody after the divorce, and stripping away all her dignity to beg him...

She had exhausted every option and truly didn't know what else she could do.

As the standoff dragged on, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Sylvia and her friends walked in, chatting and laughing. But the moment the door swung open, the laughter abruptly stopped.

Everyone stared at Jillian collapsed on the floor, shock crossing their faces.

A second later, a chorus of mocking laughter erupted in the room.

"What's going on? Is Killian punishing someone?"

"What did she do to end up on the floor like that?"

Some leaned in curiously to study Jillian's enduring expression, while others pulled out their phones, snapping photos of her humiliated state.

The piercing laughter and taunting glares crashed over Jillian in waves, tightly suffocating her.

A long moment passed.

"Enough. Get up," Killian finally snapped, his face dark with suppressed anger.
