Chapter 92

Estrella’s blunt candor and fiery temper left the entire VIP room agape, including Logan and the other two colleagues from Justice Guardians LLP. Arden had known that Estrella and Jason were acquainted, but he had never expected her to be so bold.

The only one with a smirk was Grayson, watching the scene unfold. They had no idea who they were messing with, trying to embarrass Estrella, and sling mud at her. They clearly underestimated the spitfire they were dealing with. She had never been one to take any flack, not as a child and certainly not now.

“Estrella, you…” Rachel’s face turned pale with anger.

With a chuckle, Estrella taunted, “What? I’m bold enough to sit on Mr. Jason’s lap in public. If you want to snatch the agency back, go ahead, throw caution to the wind and take a seat yourself.”

With that, she plopped down on Jason’s lap, wrapping her arms around his neck with a laugh, “Mr. Jason, what do you think of Rachel here? Do you fancy her?”

Jason played along, draping an arm around her waist and giving Rachel a dismissive glance, “Not interested.”

Estrella let out a triumphant laugh, “Rachel, Mr. Jason isn’t into you, so let me lay it down. for you. From now on, Nelson International’s legal affairs are signed with Justice Guardians LLP. Future Vision can kiss that dream goodbye.”

They had hoped to claw back Nelson International, but their chances now seemed slim to

none.

“Estrella, this industry is all about skill, don’t think that-”

Estrella cut her off with a derisive laugh, “Last time I checked, you didn’t win against me.” Ever since she joined Justice Guardians LLP, Rachel had been throwing obstacles in her

presence path, jealous that Estrella had eclipsed her as the shining star. Estrella’s dimmed her own, so Rachel had resorted to hiring a bunch of trolls to smear Estrella’s name online.

Nelson International’s legal affairs slipped through Future Vision’s fingers, and Rachel had been all too eager to dump the blame on Estrella, spreading wild rumors about her-sordid affairs, teenage abortions, professional homewrecking, you name it.

And then there was Jo’s divorce case that Rachel lost, failing to hide the assets. That led to another troll brigade attacking Estrella on social media.

Estrella was aware of all this but hadn’t had the time to deal with Rachel’s antics. She
