We?”

Jason’s gaze softened as he looked down at Estrella, his eyes losing their fiery red tint, “Yeah. Let’s go home.”

With Jason’s aggression diffused, Grayson and the others exhaled in relief. Thomas quipped, “Ella’s got a way with Jason, doesn’t she?”

Bryce, with a flick of his leg, kicked the incapacitated man on the ground, “Damn it, thinking you can mess with my Ella? You got what you deserved.”

Richie lay curled up on the ground, too beaten to even open his eyes. From the moment Estrella refused his 8 million, he should’ve realized she was no ordinary girl. After all, what average person could resist the temptation of 8 million?

Estrella just laughed, “If everyone thought that way, there’d be no justice in the world.”

Jason let out a faint smile and headed for the bathroom. Estrella, sleeves still rolled,
