The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 381

Back then, Old Mr. Quincy had just passed away.

Killian had only been established as the heir for a couple of years. Fresh out of college, he hadn't yet built his own faction within the company.

His uncle's family, backed by Eleanor, was eyeing his position like hungry wolves.

That was exactly when Jillian showed up at their door.

Killian was intensely repulsed by her appearance. He was ready to burn everything to the ground, adamantly refusing to marry her.

In the end, it was Sienna who reasoned with him and forced him to calm down.

Sienna analyzed the situation for him, concluding that marrying Jillian was the only way to protect their branch of the family's interests.

It would suppress the scandal quickly and stop Eleanor from using the opportunity to replace him as the heir.

Killian compromised.

The incident became a festering wound in his mind.

Every time he looked at Jillian, he remembered the way she had supposedly used a child to blackmail him.

"Actually..." Sienna opened her mouth, but swallowed her words.

"I admit I haven't treated her well in our marriage, but she brought that upon herself," Killian said.

"So she doesn't get to just waltz into a marriage and then waltz out whenever she pleases."

His words were harsh, but his tone was flat, devoid of almost any emotion.

Sienna couldn't figure out exactly how he felt about Jillian now.

Did he purely want to exact revenge, using the marriage to trap her?

But it didn't seem like it.

It was as if Killian didn't even know what he wanted himself.

"Enough. I won't go too far with her, but if she wants a divorce, I won't let her have it."

He stood up to leave.

"Actually!" Sienna blurted out suddenly, then froze.

Killian turned back. "What?"

"She never forced you to marry her."
