The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 169

The summit was held at a top-tier luxury hotel in the city center. It had officially kicked off at 5:00 PM, so by the time Killian arrived, the agenda was nearing its end.

Yet, the majority of the guests hadn't left.

Word had already spread that Killian, a titan of capital, would make a personal appearance.

He held the keys to top-tier funding and was the dream investor for countless tech startups. The entire room waited patiently, hoping for a chance to exchange just a few words with him.

The final segment was a free-flowing networking reception. Glasses clinked as guests mingled, discussing industry trends and commercial opportunities.

In a corner of the room, Jillian held a flute of champagne, effortlessly discussing the future applications of control algorithms with a peer.

She wore a tailored black midi dress that fell just below her knees, its crisp cut highlighting her tall, elegant figure, perfectly balancing professional sharpness with high-class sophistication.

Her camellia-colored hair was swept up, and matching minimalist silver jewelry adorned her neck and ears, accentuating her slender neck and striking collarbones. She looked aloof and intensely mysterious.

The moment Killian stepped into the venue, the organizers rushed forward to welcome him, flanked by industry elites, media reporters, and a tight ring of security.

Instantly, every eye in the room zeroed in on him. Whispers rippled through the crowd as everyone instinctively surged toward him.

"Mr. Quincy is here!" The room erupted in excitement.

Jillian calmly raised her eyes, casting a brief glance at the man surrounded by the adoring crowd. Without changing her expression, she looked away, stepping back slightly to leave the center floor to the mob.

The organizers ushered Killian to the center of the hall, where countless people swarmed him, vying for a chance to say hello.

Killian maintained a cold, distant demeanor, effortlessly handling the greetings coming from all sides, occasionally giving a slight nod in response.

His arrival had instantly reignited the dying energy of the reception.

Jillian turned to her colleague and said softly, "Let's find somewhere else."

The man nodded.
