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

Chapter 162

Megan leaned across the desk, her eyes imploring as she spoke to Ms. Estrella. “I know, I know, just snag me a little more time, okay? And I have this gut feeling-if you’re the one to handle my case, even Jackson will crumble. You’ve got the gift of gab, Ms. Estrella.”

Estrella’s reputation preceded her. Megan had been keeping tabs on her cases, especially the high-stakes ones involving Nick and Lexi. She had complete faith in Estrella’s expertise, which was why she sought her out in the first place.

Sensing Megan’s determination, Estrella relented with a sigh, “Alright, I’ll see what I can do to buy you some time.”

Megan’s face lit up with gratitude. “Thank you. Thank you so much, Ms. Estrella.” After a flurry of thanks, Megan registered her details with the paralegal before heading out.

Once Megan left, Ms. Estrella picked up the documents and let out a long, weary breath. It seemed she was on her way to being pegged as the go-to divorce attorney in town. “Ms, Estrella, looks like you’re not hurting for clients these days,” a colleague teased. “Yeah, Ms. Estrella, you’re practically the queen of divorce court now,” another chimed in.

“I could use a few earth-shattering cases to shake things up a bit.” Estrella half-joked, half-pleaded.

Logan emerged from his office overhearing her. “Estrella, those cases with Ryan, Lexi, and Nick, they’re all criminal cases. You’re just so well-known now that everyone’s coming to you. But remember, it’s not about the size of the case.”

“Hi,” she greeted him, along with the rest of the team.

Logan waved everyone back to their seats with a casual gesture and continued, “Each case that comes to Justice Guardians LLP is a testament to our clients’ trust in us. We need to handle every case with fairness and integrity.”

“We got it.”

“Understood.”

After the team’s affirmations, Logan turned back to Estrella. “You’re making great strides, Estrella. Keep up the good work.”

“Will do.”
