The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 269

Through the speaker, Sienna launched into a wildly exaggerated sob story, completely rewriting the events of the evening to paint Jillian as a violent monster who had viciously victimized her.

Killian left her on speakerphone, lazily stripping off his silk tie as he gave a dismissive reply. "That restaurant is owned by an international conglomerate. I don't have jurisdiction there."

Sienna choked on her own tears, utterly speechless.

She had no real concept of corporate borders; in her narrow worldview, the Quincy name was absolute law, and destroying a random eatery should have been effortless.

Killian's cold response made it glaringly obvious that he simply didn't care enough to intervene.

"You have to teach Jillian a lesson! She's completely out of control! She practically assaulted me today!" Sienna shrilled, refusing to let it go.

A frigid, knowing smirk tugged at the corner of Killian's mouth.

He knew exactly how both women operated.

Behind closed doors, Sienna's aristocratic facade crumbled entirely. She was chronically unstable, petty, and routinely threw tantrums that rivaled an unhinged banshee.

There wasn't a shadow of a doubt in his mind that she had started the fight.

It was exactly why Natalie had grown into such an incredibly spoiled and tyrannical terror.

"If she actually assaulted you, you should have just called the police and had her locked up," Killian remarked with deadpan apathy.

Sienna was slammed against a conversational brick wall once again.

She couldn't call the cops, because she was the one who had thrown the first punch.

Detecting the absolute dismissal in her son's voice, Sienna's heart turned to ice. She snapped a bitter, "Never mind then," and violently ended the call.

Dropping her phone, Sienna collapsed into the plush cushions of her sofa, staring blankly at the vaulted ceiling.

He wasn't her own blood, after all.

They could play the perfect, loving family for the paparazzi, but the second real trouble hit, he never once stood in her corner.
