The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 450

Jillian looked at her son's soft features and asked gently, "Connor, Mom wants to start her own business. Do you support me?"

Connor didn't understand the logistics, but he nodded vigorously without hesitation. "I support you a hundred percent, Mom!"

Her heart warmed as she continued, "Mom found a small company and spent months preparing for it. I was just about to take it over. But then, someone swooped in halfway, caused trouble, and stole the company from me. All of Mom's hard work was completely ruined."

Connor's little brows furrowed instantly, his face flushed with anger. "How can someone be so evil! Why is he bullying you?"

"Probably just because he wanted to make my life miserable," Jillian smiled faintly, her tone laced with helplessness.

"Tell me who he is, Mom!" Connor clenched his little fists, dead serious. "I'll help you take him down."

"How are you going to do that?" Jillian laughed softly.

"I'll have people investigate him! He must have someone he cares about the most. I'll use the person he loves to force a trade, and make him give your company back!"

Jillian's fork paused. She stared quietly at her son.

This young, stubborn face, his expressions, and the ruthless determination in his bones were a carbon copy of Killian.

She pushed down the complicated swirl of emotions in her chest and said softly, "Just eat your food. Don't worry about these things."

But Connor refused to let it go. He turned to Killian and complained earnestly, "Dad, Mom got bullied by a bad guy, and you're not even helping her."

"We'll talk about this later."

"No, we're talking about it now. Mom got bullied, and you're not doing anything," Connor whined.

Killian shot a glance at Jillian, set down his silverware, and walked into the study.

A moment later, he returned with a brown manila folder and casually tossed it onto the dining table.
