The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 365

In the end, the partnership between Project Astra and Project Voyager was destined to fail.

Major tech bloggers were leaking wild rumors, spinning the dramatic behind-the-scenes fallout into exaggerated legends.

Daniel patted Jillian on the shoulder, offering a comforting word. "We did everything we could. The final outcome was just out of our hands."

She gave a small nod.

She knew perfectly well that the real reason the deal collapsed was her personal baggage. Deep down, she felt a lingering sense of guilt.

"I lost my cool that day. I shouldn't have slapped him like that."

Daniel smiled and shook his head. "Honestly, I think that slap was long overdue."

"Daniel, is there really nothing we can do about Sylvia anymore?" she asked softly, changing the subject.

Taking a seat across from her, he let out a slow sigh. "Pretty much."

She had already known the answer.

Killian's reconciliation with Sylvia was a blatant signal to the world—he was putting his full weight behind protecting her.

The combined might of Killian and Gibson was a fortress Daniel simply couldn't breach.

Previously, Daniel had enough leverage to keep Gibson in check, but the moment Killian officially stepped onto the battlefield, the scales tipped completely in their favor.

With Killian acting as an absolute shield, the police investigation would never even graze Sylvia. Every single piece of evidence would be quietly and systematically buried.

"I just can't believe he left Natalie out to dry but went to bat for Sylvia," Daniel remarked.

Jillian curled her lips into a mocking, self-deprecating smile. This was the man she knew. His moral compass never aligned with conventional logic.

In his world, people were strictly categorized into a hierarchy, and those rankings were dictated by rules entirely of his own making.

To him, a sister like Natalie was inherently less valuable than Sylvia.

She exhaled slowly, a heavy wave of defeat washing over her. The harsh reality was undeniable—she was still no match for the Quincy empire.

"He actually wants to fight you for Stella's custody?" Daniel asked, his expression turning serious.
