The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 495

On the desolate midnight street, the two faced each other.

Jillian spoke first. "Dr. Xavier, I assume you want to talk about the anniversary gala?"

Gibson took a deep breath, his tone severe. "Jillian, I know my sister is spoiled, and I know you had your reasons. I let the past incidents slide because I didn't want things to get ugly. But this isn't the first time you've laid a hand on her. I expect you to show some restraint in the future. Don't just resort to violence the second you get upset."

Jillian listened quietly, then let out a sharp laugh.

"It's human nature to protect your own. I understand that." Her eyes were icy, her tone uncompromising. "But do me a favor and preach that little sermon to your sister. I'll say this one last time: if she ever provokes me again, I will tear her apart every single time I see her."

"You—" Gibson's face darkened. "Violence solves absolutely nothing. The fact that you just start swinging makes you unrecognizable from the woman I first met. Frankly, it's incredibly undignified."

"I don't care what anyone thinks of me," Jillian fired back without missing a beat. "Dr. Xavier, you are an outstanding doctor.

But ask yourself—deep down, doesn't your elite background give you a superiority complex? You're so used to looking down on everyone else from your ivory tower. The only reason I respect you is because you were once my doctor. Beyond that, your opinion means absolutely nothing to me."

Struck speechless by her brutal honesty, Gibson's tone turned frosty. "If you're going to be this stubborn, then we have nothing left to discuss."

"We never did."

"Watch yourself, Ms. Jarrett."

"Save that advice for your sister."

With that, Jillian turned and walked straight back to Bash, naturally looping her arm through his. "Let's go."

"Okay," Bash replied gently, wrapping an arm around her waist and leading her away.

Gibson stood rooted to the spot, watching them walk off together. A suffocating tightness gripped his chest.

He had always assumed the viral rumors about Jillian and Bash were just tabloid trash, especially since she had publicly denied them during Jillian's Public Refutation.

Seeing it with his own eyes confirmed they were genuinely together.

A sudden realization hit him.

Was her desperate rush to divorce Killian because of Bash?

He had no idea when this started, but their chemistry was natural; they clearly hadn't just met.

No wonder she was so dead-set on leaving Killian. She had fallen for a young, handsome pop star.

He just hadn't expected a boy toy to be her type.

...

The lobby of the Jarrett Corporation headquarters.

Early the next morning, Silas Xavier marched right up to the reception desk.
