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

Chapter 169

Some days ago, Cole had already heard that the Silverbrook New District project was being spearheaded by Holly, marking her first foray into the company’s initiatives.

The thought of Jason’s past entanglement with Holly, coupled with her remarkable comeback, naturally sent a shiver down Cole’s spine.

What exactly was the deal between Jason and her, and what was their status now? Cole tried not to care about that, but he disliked when personal emotions got entangled with professional matters.

But with Jason knocking on his door, Cole found himself in a tight spot, and he simply looked at Jason, asking, “So, what are you getting at, Jason?”

Though Jason didn’t mention Holly, Cole knew exactly what he meant. After a long stare at Jason, Cole finally spoke, “And what if I don’t want to give up on this project, Jason?”

Hearing this, Cole fell silent. Jason knew he had to lend a hand to Holly in her first prost back, but had he considered Estrella’s feelings?

Cole stared at Jason for a long while, slowly exhaling before conceding, “I won’t ma difficult for you.”

Jason had made the effort to come to him, and Cole felt compelled to agree, fearing the a refusal could lead to a fallout Estrella might struggle with. Thus, Cole chose to keep the
