The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 412

Now that the partnership was dead in the water, it was going to severely impact his future commercial evaluations.

Paired with the recent scandalous rumors involving Jillian, there was no telling what kind of wild stories the media would spin next.

Bash, however, looked completely unfazed. "It's fine. If we lose this endorsement, there are plenty of others out there. It's not like my entire career hinges on one job."

His manager stomped his foot in frustration. "You're being too naive! The public is going to assume Quincy Tech dropped you specifically because of the scandal!"

Bash's lips curved into a slow smirk. He shoved his hands casually into his pockets and strolled toward the door. "Perfect. Let the public think I really did land myself a wealthy sugar mommy."

"Where are you going?"

"To chase my sugar mommy."

His manager scrambled after him, looking like he was on the verge of a breakdown. "Lord have mercy! You're actually planning to go after her? You're out of your mind!"

Back at her office in the Langley building, Jillian found an exquisitely wrapped gift box sitting on her desk.

She called her secretary in, who explained that it had been delivered that morning, specifically addressed to her.

Glancing down, Jillian noticed the prominent logo of a high-end luxury brand. She had just attended their exclusive VIP gala a few nights prior.

She assumed it was simply a complimentary gift the brand sent to all their esteemed guests.

Without overthinking it, she popped the lid open. Resting against the velvet interior was a stunning ruby piece.

She had actually admired this particular piece before. It was The Serpent Ruby Brooch, shaped like the creeping snake from the Garden of Eden.

The full jewelry set was worth thirty million dollars. She had asked about the price at the gala—the brooch alone cost nearly three million dollars.

A luxury brand might send out small commemorative tokens, but they would never give away something this outrageously expensive.

Jillian sifted through the packaging, trying to find a card, but the box was empty.

Right then, her phone buzzed with a text message from Bash. "A gift for you, Jillian. Do you like it?"

"If you like it, you have to stop being mad at me."

Jillian stared at her screen in sheer disbelief. This multi-million dollar piece of jewelry was actually from Bash?

She knew A-list celebrities were loaded, but this was absurd.

She had always assumed a guy like Bash was just playing games and flirting with everyone he met. That was the only reason she ever entertained his banter in the first place.
