The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 237

Meanwhile, Jillian received an official invitation from the television network.

The network's financial channel was launching a top-tier entrepreneur roundtable summit. Each episode would invite four or five business leaders and tech scholars to gather and discuss cutting-edge technology, future lifestyle trends, and industry directions in a panel format.

Programs like this had a high-end tone but leaned heavily into dry, professional content, making them highly dependent on the guests' popularity and entertainment value.

Jillian, currently trending and widely recognized for her skills, naturally became a primary target for the production team.

During discussions with the crew, they provided a list of potential guests. Jillian immediately spotted Killian and Sylvia's names.

She understood completely. The production team most likely wanted to leverage the buzz around Killian and Sylvia's romance to generate talking points and drive ratings.

However, given Killian's status, he had always disdained leveraging gossip for publicity. It was highly unlikely he would agree to the recording, meaning the invitation would probably never materialize.

But none of that mattered to her.

The current Jillian was willing to participate in high-profile public programs like this. Firstly, it served as personal PR; secondly, it was a subtle way to build momentum for Project Astra.

After careful consideration, she accepted the show's invitation.

Once her busy schedule cleared up a few days later, Jillian sat at her desk, hesitating for a long time. Finally, she picked up her landline and dialed the direct line to Killian's office.

The call was routed to the secretariat. Nate Nash answered politely, "Hello, who is calling?"

Jillian recognized his voice instantly. Her tone was crisp. "Nate, it's Jillian. Transfer me to Killian. I need to speak with him about something urgent."

Nate froze instantly. The name flashed rapidly through his mind before he processed it.

He knew Jillian had returned to the country and that she was Sophia, the highly sought-after top engineer right now. But he never expected that after all these years, this woman would dial the CEO's direct line.

Suppressing his shock, he maintained a professionally distant and troubled tone. "I apologize, Ms. Jarrett. Without a prior appointment, Mr. Quincy does not take personal calls."
