Chapter 155

He would never get a chance to see Lexi, and even if he did, Lexi would have still insisted on getting a divorce.

Before, Lexi was under his thumb, scared for the safety of her parents and little sister, but now that he was going to be behind bars for 28 years, Nick can’t touch her. He’s got no leverage left.

Nick’s case had been an eye-opener for Estrella. She couldn’t fathom how he had the gall to refuse a divorce, let alone demand to see Lexi.

Zoey climbed into the passenger seat, her features etched with worry. “Estrella, did Nick sign the papers?”

Nick was a narrow-minded man, and Zoey feared that even at this low point, he’d try to drag her sister down with him, and to hold onto her for a lifetime out of spite. He was the type who’d do such a thing.

Estrella handed over the signed agreement. “He did.” She didn’t even bring up Nick’s request to see Lexi. A man like him didn’t deserve the chance, or a wife.

Spotting Nick’s signature on the divorce agreement, Zoey tightly hugged Estrella, saying, “Estrella, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I don’t know what we would have done. Nick might still be out there, living the high life.”

As Estrella started the car, she offered a comforting thought. “Justice has a way of catching up. There’s no erasing the things you’ve done.” Then she drove Zoey to the hospital and accompanied her up to Lexi’s room.

“Ms. Estrella,” Lexi greeted warmly, attempting to rise from her bed.

“Stay on the bed, Lexi” Estrella insisted, gently urging Lexi to stay put.

Zoey chimed in with a smile, “Nick signed. Estrella says we just need to make a trip city hall to finalize everything.”

Holding Estrella’s hands, Lexi’s eyes watered with gratitude. “Ms. Estrella, I can’t than enough.”
