The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 314

Jillian stepped forward, politely shaking Old Mr. Henderson's hand and presenting a thoughtfully prepared gift.

Mrs. Henderson assessed Jillian, her eyes twinkling. "I recognize you. Weren't you and Daniel tangled up in a rumor recently?"

Her comment jogged the memories of the surrounding guests.

"I remember that! They've probably met the parents already."

"If Daniel brought her to an event like this, wedding bells must be around the corner."

"They look stunning together. An absolute match made in heaven!"

Murmurs spread as everyone instinctively assumed they were an item.

Jillian had previously attended a Langley family dinner, which had been caught by the paparazzi and blew up on the internet. Their supposed romance had quietly circulated through elite circles ever since.

Maintaining her calm smile, Jillian clarified gently, "Not at all. Daniel and I are strictly friends and business partners."

"Oh, please! When young folks spend that much time together, sparks are bound to fly. Don't be shy."

The crowd kept teasing, brushing off her denial entirely.

Seeing they had their minds made up, Jillian simply let it go.

Just then, a commotion erupted at the entrance as an imposing group made their grand arrival into the ballroom.

The Hendersons quickly rallied around their patriarch to welcome the newcomers.

Jillian glanced over and immediately spotted Killian in the throng.

Tall and striking, he stood out effortlessly amidst the heirs and business moguls, carrying an unmatched air of authority.

He was accompanied by Eleanor Quincy and Sienna Sterling.
