The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 166

Jillian nodded gently. "I just got back, and my schedule is packed these next few days. Once things settle down, I'll definitely go visit him. Mom, I understand how you feel. Don't worry, Connor and Stella are equally important to me. I would never abandon him."

Hearing this, Judith finally felt relieved.

While Jillian had been abroad all these years, Judith had held herself back from visiting Connor. She was terrified of running into Silas.

The TV network's efficiency far exceeded Jillian's expectations. By the next evening, the interview trailer had been edited and posted across all the international channel's official platforms.

It instantly blew up on social media. Industry professionals and tech titans retweeted it one after another, quickly drawing the attention of everyday netizens.

"The nation's top control algorithm expert returns—does this mean the focus of research is shifting back home? The domestic algorithm industry is about to see a massive breakthrough!"

"Wait, are you telling me this gorgeous woman in the trailer is a top-tier algorithm engineer? No way."

"Are there really still people who think only men can work in STEM?"

"Honestly, with looks like that, why would she bury herself in tech? Do you know how boring algorithms are? Any woman with half a pretty face nowadays is busy getting plastic surgery to become an influencer."

"People making minimum wage love projecting their own insecurities. Seeing a beautiful woman with both looks and talent has you all going crazy with jealousy."

Arguments raged in the comments, but the vast majority supported and praised Jillian.

Her return to the country was originally only noticed within the industry, but her stunning looks sparked a fierce gender debate.

The online arguments caused the trailer's popularity to skyrocket, with countless people sharing it and digging deep into her accomplishments in the algorithm field over the past few years.

Sylvia was scrolling through her phone at home. Because of her upcoming interview with the international channel, she followed their official accounts.

As she refreshed the page, the trailer popped up. At first, she didn't recognize the woman on the screen; she was simply struck by her outstanding beauty and her mature, confident aura.

Sylvia immediately felt an uncomfortable prick of jealousy, like a needle jabbing her.

Her current fame was built on multiple pillars: her wealthy background, her stunning looks, and her intellectual elite persona.

The internet always said that women smarter than her weren't as pretty, and women prettier than her were just empty vases. This gave her an unmatched sense of superiority.
