Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 166

"Kimberly, I think Brother Yardley is very kind to you. Are you really not going to tell him?" Sylvia suddenly said in a serious tone, "Is it because you don't dare to? If that's the case, how about I tell him for you?"

Deep down, she couldn't wait anymore and was very eager to do so.

Kimberly was shocked when she heard Sylvia's offer. Before she could react, she immediately blurted out, "No!"

The excited look on Sylvia's face instantly got lost and her eyes turned dull.

The atmosphere became silent again.

No one said a word, and they each had their own thoughts.

Sylvia stared at Kimberly, and her hands tightened a little under the table.

Sylvia thought that Kimberly would be happy after knowing the news. After all, she was very close to Benedict, wasn't she? Why didn't she want to be with him? Why was she still pestering Maddox?

Sometimes, Sylvia would think that Kimberly was going too far for not wanting to let the two men go.

Sylvia had completely forgotten the fact that she had taken Kimberly's identity and deceived her.

After that, the two of them parted. Sylvia returned to the Hanover family with a heavy mood. When she entered, she noticed Quill's car and felt a bit strange. She asked the servant, "Didn't my brother go to work today?"

The servant replied respectfully, "Sir is not feeling well today. He is working at home."

Sylvia was stunned, "Is he not feeling well? I'll go and have a look."

The servant quickly followed and called after her, "Miss, Mr. Hanover ordered that no one should disturb him."

Sylvia scoffed, "What a joke. I am his sister. What do you mean by disturbing him? I am just going to visit my sick brother. What are you yelling about?"

As she spoke, Sylvia's expression looked very fierce.

The servant bowed his head and did not dare to continue.

Sylvia then headed to Quill's room straight away.

Quill's room was not locked, and there was someone inside.

"President Hanover, this is the results for the investigation on Miss Shell."

It was Juliette's voice. Sylvia immediately leaned against the door, peeked through the gap and listened intently.

"Leave it here." Quill's deep voice was dry and hoarse. Indeed, he sounded like he was under the weather.

Juliette continued, "President Hanover, why did you want me to investigate Miss Shell? Is it just because she is Miss Sylvia's friend? According to the investigation, Miss Shell has a good personality and is fine in all aspects, but... she is a little pitiful."

In fact, Juliette should not have said these words. Usually, if she elaborated on any issue, Quill would not pay attention to her. She had learned to stress the important points only.

However, Juliette noticed that Quill was getting more and more interested in Kimberly recently, and so she chose to elaborate a bit more.

After a moment of silence, Juliette coughed softly. She thought she had said too much and wanted to stop talking. However, she heard Quill asking in a low voice, "Pitiful?"

"Yes." Juliette nodded and replied, "Her previous husband had a mistress, but Miss Shell didn't find out for two years. One day, her husband won the lottery. She thought she could live a good life, but she got divorced instead. It turned out that the mistress was pregnant and in the end, Miss Shell was left empty-handed."

Upon hearing this, Quill frowned and asked, "Empty-handed?"

Juliette continued, "Yes. Erica Shell, Miss Shell's sister, should've been married to the Yardley family. But Mrs. Shell, their mother, learned that Erica would be marrying a disabled man. She didn't like that, and since Miss Shell was newly divorced, she let her marry into the Yardley family on behalf of Erica."

She added, "That day... when we saw her in the conference room, I guess... that's Kimberly's current condition."
