The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 356

Sylvia offered a perfunctory smile.

"Gibson, did you see the news about Natalie?"

Gibson frowned. "I saw it. I never expected her to go down this path."

He sat down beside his sister and sighed. "With this happening, the Quincys definitely won't lift a finger for her now."

Sylvia's stomach dropped.

That was exactly what she was afraid of.

With Killian's immense power, he could easily bury the story.

He could have ensured the investigation stopped at those thugs, and then simply shipped Natalie overseas to never return.

But if Killian washed his hands of it, the police would undoubtedly keep digging.

"Gibson," Sylvia decided it was time to come clean.

"Will the investigation reach me?" she asked abruptly.

Gibson paused. "Why would you say that?"

She quickly recounted her conversations with Natalie, admitting to the introduction, but conveniently omitted the fact that their target was Jillian.

"How could you do that? Don't you know hiring thugs is a crime?" Gibson stood up sharply.

Sylvia instantly put on a pathetic face. "I didn't know she was hiring thugs! I thought someone had just offended her and she wanted to teach them a lesson."

Gibson's dark eyes narrowed, staring intensely at his sister as if trying to decipher the truth from the lies.

"You really just made an introduction?"

Under the crushing weight of her brother's authoritative gaze, Sylvia didn't dare lie completely.

She nodded.

"I really didn't know what she was planning to do."

"Do you know who she was targeting?"

Sylvia shook her head.
