Chapter 15
Kristin didn’t miss a beat. “That Serene’s all over Jason like white on rice, just trying to squeeze a buck out of him. She wants cash, so let’s just cut her a check and be done with it. So, Estrella, you take this check to her, tell her to pack up her mama and little brother, and hit the road out of Ravenwood. Otherwise, she can kiss any hopes of a payday from Jason goodbye.”
Looking at the twenty million dollar check from Kristin, Estrella was amused. Kristin was usually sharp as a tack, but now? She seemed to have lost her marbles.
“If I go to Serene with this, it’s like throwing myself into the lion’s den. She won’t take the money. She won’t leave Ravenwood.”
If she really took this check to Serene, it would be tantamount to digging her own grave fast-tracking her divorce from Jason. And she hadn’t even had babies yet.
But Kristin was adamant. “Listen Estrella, trust me on this. It’s foolproof. Give the check to Serene. I’ll follow up with her. She’ll crack under the pressure. Where else is she going to get twenty million? How else will she support her mom and brother?”
“This is…”
Before Estrella could finish, Kristin cut her off. ‘Estrella, you’re too honest for your own good. That Serene’s got more tricks up her sleeve than a magician. You won’t beat her at her own game.”
Seeing Kristin all worked up, Estrella decided not to argue any further. It wasn’t about outplaying Serene; it was that Jason’s heart wasn’t with her. The more she flailed, the worse it got. In this game, the referee was biased.
“Estrella.”
Kristin called out again, snapping Estrella back to reality. Estrella took the check and said. “Alright, I’ll take care of it.”
Kristin was so persistent, Estrella figured she’d better play along. Otherwise, if Kristin took matters into her own hands, things would only get uglier. Making a scene would tarnish both her reputation and that of the Nelsons.
Having accepted Kristin’s check, Estrella arranged to meet with Serene the next day.
In the café, she didn’t beat around the bush with Serene, just told her to take the money and get her family out of here.
Serene just sat there, ashen-faced, wordless.
