The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 241

A fellow industry guest sitting nearby couldn't help but sigh softly. "Ms. Jarrett, you and Mr. Quincy actually have quite similar personalities and working styles."

Jillian Jarrett frowned slightly. I haven't done anything to you, so please don't slander me, she thought.

On the surface, however, she maintained a polite smile. "I don't think so. Aside from both being ordinary humans with one nose and two eyes, I really can't find any similarities."

Just as she spoke, Killian Quincy happened to look up from across the table, taking in her thoroughly repulsed expression.

His gaze turned predatory and cold, his tone dripping with extreme alienation and arrogance. "My apologies, but I don't lower my standards to humor inferiors."

Jillian scoffed, genuinely amused by his audacity.

The guest instantly looked embarrassed, caught between a rock and a hard place. In just one sentence, he had somehow managed to offend two heavyweights. He wished he had kept his mouth shut.

The roundtable panel updated its recording guests weekly, so the lineup was never fixed.

A week later, a new round of recording began. Jillian took her seat, looked up, and her gaze suddenly stopped.

Sitting directly across from her were Killian and Sylvia Xavier.

She never expected that Killian would actually accept the production team's invitation, bringing his rumored girlfriend on screen and allowing the show to heavily hype their romantic relationship.

Of course, Jillian knew very well that Killian wasn't in the habit of doing favors for others.

The only reason he was willing to make a public appearance was to continue boosting Sylvia's profile.

A few years ago, Killian had indeed poured resources into promoting Sylvia, allowing her a brief moment in the spotlight. However, the crucial Project Zenith failed to take off, completely halting her upward momentum.

More importantly, ever since Jillian returned to the public eye, she had monopolized the titles of top-tier algorithm engineer and gorgeous tech titan.

Sylvia's traffic, popularity, and online trending topics had all plummeted, severely weakening her presence.

Jillian lowered her eyes, a mocking smirk playing on her lips.
