The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 350

Was it seriously just to blow off some steam?

She had heard the recent rumors that the Quincy family had completely cut ties with her, but Jillian had absolutely nothing to do with her catastrophic downfall.

"Doesn't it strike you as a little bizarre?" he asked.

She nodded.

"I don't think it's that simple either. Don't worry, I'll keep digging. The second I find out what's really going on, I'll let you know."

The moment the police officially arrested Natalie, the scandalous news ripped through the Quincy estate.

Eleanor's face fell in absolute disbelief. "Natalie actually did it? How could she be so insanely foolish?"

Ms. Sterling's eyes reddened with unshed tears. "I don't understand either. After everything she lost, I thought she would have learned her lesson and matured... I never imagined she'd go this far."

"Hiring a hit squad. What a horrific crime," the old matriarch tutted, without displaying even a shred of intention to visit her behind bars.

But Ms. Sterling couldn't stop her heart from wavering.

Taking in the orphaned girl had been entirely her idea years ago, against the vehement objections of Eleanor and the rest of the family.

She had stubbornly forced the adoption through, earning herself years of condescending eye rolls from the matriarch.

For all these years, she was the only one who truly viewed Natalie as her own daughter. Eleanor was cold-blooded by nature and had never cared for the girl.

If she abandoned her now, Natalie would have absolutely no one left in the world.

She decided she had to go to the precinct. At the very least, she could gather some information and hire a top-tier lawyer to defend her.

After a moment of agonizing hesitation, she finally worked up the nerve. "Eleanor, maybe I should go down and see her."

Knowing she couldn't simply let the girl rot, the matriarch gave a dismissive wave and didn't try to stop her.

Ms. Sterling rushed to the station, but the detectives refused to disclose any solid details, citing the ongoing investigation.

Left with no other option, she formally requested a visitation.
