The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 295

Over the following days, Sienna kept her distance, completely stopping her desperate attempts to fawn over Jillian.

Jillian figured her blunt rejection at the banquet had finally gotten the message across.

Sienna must have realized the harsh truth: Jillian held zero influence over Killian and couldn't save Natalie, so she gave up on the act.

But Jillian had no idea that Sienna hadn't given up at all—she was just forcing herself to be patient. Terrified that Eleanor would notice her sudden obsession with Jillian, Sienna swallowed her anxiety and chose to temporarily stay out of sight.

Meanwhile, rumors began circulating within Quincy Tech that Killian was preparing to kill Project SwiftPath AI and sell it off.

A number of financial analysts and tech bloggers subtly hinted at the move online. It seemed like casual speculation, but in reality, it was Killian testing the waters to gauge market reaction.

When Sylvia scrolled through the news, absolute panic set in.

She rushed straight to Killian's office. Standing in front of his desk, her eyes red, her voice cracking with barely suppressed sobs. "Can we talk?"

Hearing the sheer terror in her voice, Killian glanced up. His expression remained completely stoic. "Sit."

He pointed to the sofa beside him.

Sylvia sat down obediently, her hands clamped tightly together, her knuckles white with anxiety.

It was almost noon, and neither of them had eaten lunch.

Killian called Nate in and ordered takeout from The Gilded Clove, specifically requesting all of Sylvia's favorite dishes.

Less than half an hour later, the food arrived. The coffee table was packed with her favorites, and hardly a single dish catered to Killian's tastes. It was painfully obvious he had ordered it entirely for her.

Killian picked up his silverware and expertly de-shelled a plate of Steamed King Crab with elegant precision.
