The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 342

Having chatted with her for so long, they had naturally assumed she was family, which would explain her intense resentment toward the boy's mother.

"You are merely a servant in Killian's house. Just because he respects you doesn't mean I have to put up with you. If you ever spread malicious rumors about me behind my back again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The other parents exchanged looks. So this old woman was just a hired help.

Gossiping about her employer like that was incredibly unprofessional.

Mrs. Zeller's face flushed a deep crimson. She slapped her thighs in agitation and hollered, "So what if I'm a servant? I'm the one who raised your son! Did you ever care for him as a mother? No wonder he wants nothing to do with you! You brought all of this upon yourself!"

"Shut your mouth!" Jillian snapped, glancing around the room.

Mrs. Zeller was old and had no filter. She lacked any sense of refinement and excelled at throwing public tantrums while using her age as an excuse.

She might not care about making a scene, but Jillian did. She had no desire to turn this into an ugly public spectacle.

"Am I wrong?" Mrs. Zeller pointed a finger at Stella in the distance. "You ignore your own flesh and blood, yet you play house with someone else's little girl every single day!"

As she spoke, Mrs. Zeller suddenly froze.

From her angle, Stella and Jillian looked practically identical. The dimples near their lips were a perfect copy.

It was as if she had suddenly struck gold, and her voice shrilled. "I get it now! That kid isn't adopted at all! She's your illegitimate brat! No wonder you abandoned your husband and son to run off overseas without a word—it was to hide this child! You had her in secret with Mr. Langley, didn't you?"

This vile accusation instantly crossed Jillian's absolute bottom line.

She stepped forward, grabbed Mrs. Zeller by the collar, and slapped her hard across the face.

The sharp smack echoed through the hall. The entire venue fell dead silent as the surrounding parents stared in sheer shock.
