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

Chapter 150

Next to Estrella, Zoey was perpetually wiping tears from her cheeks. Nick’s brutal treatment of her sister was because he himself had been unfaithful-he was using her sister’s life to craft his own public image.

As Estrella mentioned the affair between him and Piper, and seeing that there was no hiding his infidelity, Nick rose from his chair with a nonchalant swagger and admitted, “Yes, I confess I didn’t love Lexi. I cheated.”

“I was upfront with Lexi about it and even suggested we get a divorce. She said she’d think about it, but then she just went off the deep end and jumped. Bottom line, everything that happened to Lexi has nothing to do with me.” Since Lexi was in a coma, he felt free to spin the narrative however he wished, without anyone to counter his claims.

Then, turning to Estrella with arrogance, he taunted, “Ms. Estrella, you think you can pin a crime on me with a few photos? Set me up? If that’s how you practice law, you might as well be better off at home doing the laundry and cooking dinner.”

Estrella simply smiled. “Don’t get ahead of yourself.”

Continuing, she turned to address the judge, “Your Honor, the plaintiff requests to present the second piece of evidence.”

The judge nodded, “The plaintiff’s second piece of evidence is accepted.”

Nick’s face briefly betrayed his concern, but he quickly regained his composure. After all, he had never allowed Estrella into his home, so how could she possibly have any

evidence?

With the judge’s go-ahead, Estrella began playing a video as she explained, “This second piece of evidence was provided by a young member of the defendant’s community. Given that the witness is a minor and considering their safety, coupled with the fact that the evidence is a legitimate, live-action video, we won’t be compelling the witness to testify in

After Estrella finished speaking, a video from Nick’s home started playing on the projection screen. Although it wasn’t shot inside his house, it was still very clear. It showed Nick delivering a barrage of punches and kicks to Lexi, even hurling objects at her. No matter how Lexi tried to dodge or plead, Nick was relentless, each blow more
