Chapter 168

When Holly was supported back into the house, she immediately saw Korey. He was walking over from the French window side, his expression not looking very pleasant.

“Hey, Korey,” she called out to him.

Korey cut to the chase, “Did you meet with Jason today?”

“Yeah. I had a little chat with him,” Holly confirmed.

At her response, Korey’s expression darkened even more. “Holly, Jason and Estrella are married now.”

Korey’s reminder made Holly chuckle, “I know that. I only met with Jason to clear up why I appeared out of the blue. He’s just a friend to me. And what about you? Don’t you have friends? Or do you not consider Estrella a friend in your heart?” Korey’s words made Holly feel like he was being hypocritical.

With his hands buried in his pockets, Korey stared at Holly, his expression unchanging because he knew she wouldn’t be as level-headed as he was.

After a long silence, Korey finally said, “Now that Jason and Estrella are married, your past with Jason is irrelevant. You don’t owe him any explanations. The best blessing you could give them is to stay out of their life.”

Holly’s already back, so what more was there to justify? No matter how she might try to explain, it all just reduced to the fact that she staged a spectacle back then.

Jason’s current wife was Estrella. Whether the whole sham of Holly faking her death. years ago was true or not, it’s not something he ought to concern himself with anymore. It’s all water under the bridge.

Right or wrong, Holly’s deceit was part of the past. At this point, Korey could only hope that Holly would keep a safe distance from Jason.

Holly had considered coming back home half a year ago, but Korey had been against it. Eventually, though, he couldn’t stand against their parents’ wishes.

In Korey’s mind, since Holly had chosen to fake her death, she should have made it permanent and never returned. After all, medical care was superior abroad, and it would be best for her and Jason to never cross paths again.

However, she insisted on coming back, and Korey had to consider that her fake death years ago and her sudden reappearance were part of her own scheming…
