The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 354

But that would only disrupt her studies.

"Thank you, Daniel. You've been helping me so much these past few years."

Daniel smiled warmly. "It's the least I can do."

"Actually, it's okay to lean on your friends sometimes."

He sat next to her at the desk, and together they gazed out at the sprawling night skyline.

After two straight days of grinding, the team finalized a revised proposal, making strategic adjustments to Killian's original terms.

Jillian packed it up and headed straight to Quincy Group to negotiate with Killian in person.

She had booked an appointment over the phone for eleven o'clock that morning.

At ten-thirty, Sienna stormed into Killian's office.

"Why didn't you tell me that Natalie hired thugs to hurt Jillian?" she demanded furiously.

Killian glanced up at her.

"Didn't you go see her at the police station?"

Sienna froze.

"I heard you even hired a lawyer to settle it?" Killian countered.

Sienna looked guilty and averted her eyes. "I just wanted to secure her a chance at a lighter sentence."

Killian asked, "Did Jillian agree to sign the statement of forgiveness?"

Sienna shook her head. "I didn't know it was her. I thought it was someone else."

"And you think anyone else would just be bought off by your money?"

Sienna was left completely speechless.

Killian leaned back in his chair, a cold, mocking smirk playing on his lips.

He knew it. Sienna didn't care who the victim was. In her mind, as long as she threw enough cash at them, anyone would accept her terms.

It was the insidious arrogance born of her status and wealth.

Jillian slamming the door in her face was a well-deserved reality check.

Thinking of this, Killian felt a begrudging respect for Jillian's backbone.
