The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 399

A few days later, in a highly exclusive private club, Jillian arrived for a meeting with several old friends.

She was very familiar with these people.

Back in college, Jillian had independently developed an AI program designed for modern office productivity. At the time, the software wasn't fully polished, but the core concept was incredibly ahead of its time.

She sold the program to a mid-sized tech startup and received a lump sum in return.

After marrying Killian, the household allowance that was supposedly agreed upon was entirely controlled by Mrs. Zeller. For a very long time into her marriage, Jillian survived entirely off the money she made from selling that software.

Jillian had firmly decided to establish her independence from the Quincy orbit, and one of the main catalysts was bumping into the founders of that very tech startup.

She learned that due to the brutal market economy, the company had failed to scale over the last ten years and was now on the verge of bankruptcy.

Jillian's mind immediately went to work. The company had a solid foundation. If she bought them out, she could use it as a launchpad to build her own empire.

Today, she was meeting with the original founders of the company.

When Jillian sold them the AI program years ago, they had desperately tried to recruit her as a partner.

At the time, Jillian said she would think about it. But shortly after, she attended a gala hosted by Killian, accidentally ended up sleeping with him, and eventually married him. The startup opportunity was completely thrown to the back of her mind, and she never contacted them again.

The founders assumed she wasn't interested and stopped bothering her.

If it hadn't been for that chance encounter, their paths would never have crossed again.

Jillian carried her purse into the private room and sat down. The four founders were already there.
