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

Chapter 53

Her shares would be managed by her brother, and Paula was totally cool with that. She’d never been the corporate type- just show her the money and she was golden. As far as she was concerned, it didn’t matter whose hands her shares were in, as long as they were well taken care of. She trusted her brother completely. He wouldn’t let her starve, she was sure. He’d look out for his little sis.

After skimming through the agreement, Paula immediately sided with Erin, “Dad, Erin’s right. Just sign on the dotted line, will ya?”

With Erin stepping in to handle the situation, Janie felt a weight lift off her shoulders.

Hunter furrowed his brow, “Erin, my heart has always been in this family, and every bit of the Lamont family is surely yours and Paula’s. But I’m only 53 now. Don’t you think it’s a bit too early for me to sign the stock transfer?”

Hunter was hesitating, but Erin kept his cool, “I’m not in a rush. You sign when you feel like it.” But Hunter wouldn’t be seeing Ruby or the twins until those papers were signed,

Hunter took the pen, signed the papers, and looked up at Erin, “Erin, I’ve signed. Now, about Ruby and the boys…”

Before he could finish, Erin cut him off, “Once the transfer is effective, you’ll see them.”

Hunter stared at Erin for a long moment, eventually realizing he had nothing left to say, and left the house, drained.

As soon as Hunter was gone, Janie started her waterworks again, crying about all her hardships over the years.

While comforting Janie, Paula looked up at Erin, “Aren’t you mad about the crazy stuff Dad pulled?”

Erin was as cool as a cucumber, “Getting angry doesn’t solve anything Fixing the problem does. Mom, pull yourself together. We’ll have a press conference tomorrow morning to clear the air about tonight’s drama. Say you were misled.”

Janie’s tears stopped as if they’d never been, and she looked up at Erin. He clarified, “The company’s interests come first.”

“I got it,” Janie said.

With the family drama handled, Erin didn’t linger. He had a mess to clean up tonight. As he started the car, a sinister smile played on Erin’s lips. Estrella, things were getting interesting.
