The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 226

"I don't like Mom anymore either. I don't ever want to talk to her again."

Sienna quickly asked what happened.

"Connor went to see Jillian a few days ago. She adopted a little girl, the two kids got into an argument, and Jillian sent Connor home early," Killian explained briefly.

Sienna's anger flared even hotter. "She is getting more ruthless by the minute! Ignoring her own flesh and blood—she's totally out of control."

Eleanor, who had been silent until now, slammed her teacup down. The porcelain clattered sharply against the table, her face darkening entirely.

"Killian, we cannot let this slide. We have to demand an explanation. With the way Jillian is acting now, you need to find a way to put her in her place."

Killian remained completely silent, his cold gaze fixed on the lake. He had zero interest in getting dragged into this domestic drama.

Knowing his personality well, Eleanor didn't push him. Instead, she turned her orders to Sienna.

"You have connections. Pull some strings and ruin whatever job Jillian has right now. Consider it teaching her a lesson."

Natalie immediately chimed in. "Just getting her fired is way too easy on her. If you ask me, we should use our network to completely blacklist her in Metro City so she can't find work anywhere."

The three of them were treating it like a serious mission, actually sitting there plotting it out.

Unable to listen to any more of it, Killian got up and left the pavilion. Sienna watched him go, sensing something was off. This time, his reaction was far calmer than she had ever expected.

On the drive back, Killian was behind the wheel while Connor sat in the backseat, sulking heavily.

"Are you really not going back to see your mother?" Killian asked.

"Yeah, I'm giving her the silent treatment to teach her a lesson. I want her to realize who matters more to her—me, or that quiet one."
