The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 471

Meanwhile, at Quincy Group.

After returning to the company, Killian went about his work as usual, his expression calm and unreadable.

Sylvia had been in high spirits all day, treating her subordinates with uncharacteristic warmth and leniency.

During their lunch together, Sylvia fluttered around him, chatting incessantly with boundless enthusiasm.

Killian suddenly asked, "Are you in a particularly good mood today?"

"Of course I am."

As soon as the words left her mouth, she sensed she had slipped up and quickly corrected herself. "I'm always in a good mood. I don't have anything to stress about. Oh, right, since you've already booked the divorce appointment, you should let the family know. Sienna and Mr. Quincy would be thrilled."

"Not necessarily," Killian replied coolly.

Right on cue, Sienna's call came through. Her voice carried a distinct choke. "Is the paperwork done?"

"It's done. Once The Thirty-Day Cooling-Off Period is over, we'll get the official divorce decree."

Sienna sighed softly, overwhelmed with helplessness, and was about to hang up.

Suddenly, Sylvia's light and cheerful voice floated through the receiver. "Is that Sienna? Killian and Jillian have already finalized their divorce appointment. They'll be officially divorced next month, so you can rest easy now. I haven't seen you around lately, Sienna. How about I come visit you with some handmade pastries when I have time?"

Sienna's tone was heavy and drained, laced with weary detachment. "That's enough. Get back to work." She then ended the call.

That last sentence had been directed at Killian.

Sylvia frowned slightly, feeling as though her warm gesture had been slapped away.

When she looked up, she met Killian's gaze.

A faint, almost imperceptible sneer played on Killian's lips as he watched her in silence.

Sylvia panicked a little. "What are you smiling at?"

"Nothing." Killian withdrew his gaze, put his phone away, and his expression returned to normal.

That evening, Jillian also broke the news of the finalized divorce appointment to Judith.

Judith was relieved. "That's wonderful. You've finally made it through."

Lydia was equally overjoyed, beaming the entire day.
