The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 202

Jillian completely ignored Killian as he approached, chatting casually with Daniel in a low voice. Her expression was perfectly calm, utterly devoid of the smugness someone might show after saving a life.

Killian slowly pushed his sunglasses up the bridge of his nose, a storm of emotions churning in his eyes.

After her years abroad, Jillian seemed like an entirely different person.

She had not just lost weight and grown more stunning. She had shed every ounce of her former awkwardness, undergoing a total transformation from the inside out.

Now, she radiated an aura of unshakeable confidence and formidable strength.

It was impossible to reconcile this radiant woman with the timid, subservient housewife she had been just a few years ago.

Meanwhile, Sylvia Xavier was lounging in the cabin with her socialite friends, gossiping about celebrities and luxury brands, when a notification popped up. Someone in the summit’s group chat had posted photos of Jillian’s rescue.

In the pictures, Jillian’s slender, athletic body cut through the blue waves like a sleek predator.

Her strokes were professional and effortlessly beautiful.

Since she had just saved a life, the chat exploded with praise.

Reading the comments calling Jillian beautiful, badass, and brilliant made Sylvia feel like she was choking on glass.

Usually, at events like this, Sylvia was the undisputed center of attention. Her impeccable taste in fashion and makeup always set the standard.

But this time, Jillian was completely stealing her thunder.

"I remember a few days ago, when Sylvia got bitten by that snake, Ms. Jarrett was the first one to take a picture of it to help the doctor with the antivenom," one guest typed.

"I heard about that too. Sylvia was absolutely terrified that night. I could hear her screaming from my room."

"The organizers really owe Ms. Jarrett. If it weren't for her, we'd have two tragedies at The Summit. It would ruin the event for next year."

"Seriously! If I were hosting, I'd be worshipping the ground she walks on. What happened today was way more serious than a snakebite. That girl almost died."

Sylvia gritted her teeth, her chest burning with jealousy.

It was bad enough that Jillian was in the spotlight, but now Sylvia was being used as a stepping stone to make her look even better.
