30 Days till I Divorce My Husband (Estrella and Jason)

Chapter 29

“Estrella, you better…”

Estrella landed two more swift slaps on Paula’s face. “Going to talk now?”

Estrella’s fluid series of actions left the Lamont family’s servants dumbfounded. They never expected Estrella to storm the Lamont household alone and take on their young lady.

“What’s wrong with you lot? Can’t you run out back and call my parents and grandfather instead of standing here gawking?” It wasn’t until Paula, through her tears, scolded them that the servants scrambled over each other to fetch the elders.

By the time Paula’s grandpa hurried over, Estrella had already finished the beatdown and was

nonchalantly dusting off her hands after giving Paula another kick for good measure. Paula’s grandpa nearly passed out from shock at the sight of his granddaughter bruised and swollen on the floor, unable to get up. Gripping his cane tightly, he jabbed it into the ground and spat out, “Estrella, you’re out of control, showing no respect for the Lamont name. Is this how your parents raised you?”

Estrella slid her hands back into her trouser pockets, unfazed, and retorted, “Seems like the Lamont family could use some discipline. I’m just lending a hand.”

Paula’s grandpa trembled with rage. “No matter what you think of our ways, it’s not your place to discipline us, Estrella!” He then turned to Paula and commanded, “Paula, stand up and hit her back, the same way she hit you!

“Estrella, you’re really pushing your luck,” Paula’s mother sobbed, while her father turned ashen.

“Grandfather,” Paula whimpered, finding her voice now that her family had arrived.

“Stop your crying and fight back,” Paula’s grandpa insisted.

Wiping away her tears, Paula stood up and reached for an ashtray on the coffee table, but

Paula, intimidated by the earlier altercation, hesitated and withdrew her hand, tears streaming down her face as she looked helplessly at her grandfather, “Grandfather, I can’t beat-her.”

Seeing Paula’s reluctance, Paula’s grandpa turned to her father, “What are you waiting for? Fetch my whip. I need to teach this insolent gir a lesson on behalf of the Dorvold family.” Upon this command, Paula’s father signaled a servant who quickly retrieved the whip. Estrella quietly picked up a wine glass from the coffee table, smashed it, and brandished
