The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 267

Down the hall, Sienna had just finished her own frantic phone calls.

Seeing the manager approaching, she stuffed her phone in her designer bag and stormed out to intercept him.

She shoved a perfectly manicured finger in Jillian's direction, her voice dripping with venomous entitlement. "That woman just physically assaulted me! She practically broke my arm. I demand you throw her out of this establishment immediately!"

The manager looked between the two women, his expression entirely strictly professional. "I sincerely apologize, ma'am, but I cannot act solely on a one-sided accusation."

The moment the words left his mouth, Sienna's flock of wealthy friends swarmed the man, eagerly offering their fabricated testimonies.

Talking over one another, they completely twisted the narrative, painting Jillian as a deranged lunatic who had launched an unprovoked attack.

Mallory's legendary temper flared. She slammed her hands on the table to launch into a screaming match, but Jillian calmly grabbed her arm and shook her head, silently telling her not to engage.

The foreign manager lowered his voice, turning to Jillian. "Could you tell me what actually happened?"

"It was a minor verbal disagreement. She attempted to strike me first, and I merely blocked her arm to defend myself," Jillian explained in a calm, steady tone.

"Would you like me to have her escorted off the premises?" the manager asked.

Jillian pretended to consider it for a second before giving a slow nod. "She is clearly unstable and highly volatile. For the safety of your other guests, it would be best to ask her to leave."

Sienna's jaw hit the floor. She stared at Jillian in absolute, unadulterated shock before letting out a shrill bark of laughter. "You're kicking me out? You actually have the audacity to kick me out?!"

Jillian's expression remained perfectly serene as she gave a firm nod of confirmation.

Sienna's chest heaved with explosive rage. "Do you have any idea where you are?! This is Metro City! No one on this earth dares to throw me out of anywhere!"

The commotion in the packed new restaurant quickly drew the eyes of dozens of nearby patrons.

Not wanting to disrupt the business any further, Jillian turned back to the manager. "You can review the security footage before making your decision."

The manager swiftly pulled up the dining hall cameras on his tablet. The high-definition footage was undeniable: what began as a verbal dispute clearly escalated when Sienna shot out of her chair to throw a slap. Jillian only raised her hands in self-defense, never initiating the physical contact.
