The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 509

Gibson cast a long, disgusted look at his mother and sister before storming out of the house.

While Sylvia was practically paralyzed with anxiety, Madeline remained entirely unfazed.

"What are you so afraid of? He's your brother. It's not like he's going to turn you in. He'll cover it up for you."

Outside, Gibson got into his car and fired off a voice note: "Get in touch with the victims' family. Tell them we are prepared to offer ten times the standard compensation. And track down the exact whereabouts of the little girl."

With that, he slammed his foot on the gas.

Following her divorce, Jillian threw herself entirely into her new projects in Hartford.

She had fully absorbed Kyber Systems, completely overhauled the executive board, and officially rebranded the enterprise as DeepSpace Tech.

With the location finalized, she bounced back to Hartford to personally oversee the launch, staying there for a grueling two weeks before returning.

During that stretch, one of the weekends fell on her scheduled time with Connor. Stuck in Hartford, she was forced to reach out to Killian directly.

Now that Project Astra and Project Horizon had officially merged, the Langley family had taken complete operational control, leaving Quincy Tech with practically zero involvement.

"Is it work-related?" Killian asked.

Knowing she couldn't break away, Jillian explained her predicament.

"It's fine. In that case, I'll let Con know he won't be staying with you this weekend."

"I can tell him myself. I just wanted to give you a heads-up first."

"I understand you're busy. You can make it up to him when you have more time," Killian replied smoothly.

Jillian paused, then said earnestly, "Thank you."

She had definitely noticed the shift. Post-divorce, Killian seemed to have relinquished all his past grievances, making him infinitely easier to deal with.
