Chapter 185

Bryce shoved his hands into his pockets, first giving Jason a wry smile before his tone turned icy. “She’s gone, cremated.”

As the words left Bryce’s mouth, Jason’s expression darkened instantly. Seeing the shift in Jason’s demeanor, Bryce couldn’t help but snicker. “You’ve got Holly and Serene, so what are you doing sniffing around Estrella for?”

Jason took two steps forward, his gaze on Bryce as frosty as midwinter. “Bryce, cut the crap. It’s not your place to stick your nose in my business.”

“Yeah, sure.” Bryce retorted sarcastically. “Not my place, is it? Then don’t come asking about your wife like she’s mine or something.”

That was the last straw for Jason. He grabbed Bryce by the shirt and shoved him hard against the wall. Bryce’s back slammed against the wall, but he wasn’t backing down. He grabbed Jason’s collar in retaliation.

Remembering that Jason was, after all, his cousin, Bryce swallowed his rage and pushed him away. Brushing off his collar, which Jason had wrinkled, Bryce opened a nearby cabinet and pulled out two divorce papers, handing them to Jason. “Estrella wants you to sign these.”

“She’s already squared things away with the city clerk. If you can’t make it, just sign your name and anyone can get the divorce certificate for you. Jason, let Estrella go, and give yourself some peace, man.”

The divorce papers that Bryce handed to Jason sparked his anger. He grabbed Bryce’s shirt again and slammed him against the wall. That moment, Jason didn’t need to ask; he knew Bryce must have had a hand in it.

With his back hitting the wall once more, Bryce threw a punch at Jason’s face, then grabbing Jason’s collar. Bryce hissed, “Jason, for years I’ve respected you as my cousin, always giving you some leeway and respect. Did you really think I was afraid of you, and couldn’t take you in a fight?” After saying his piece, Bryce shoved Jason back hard, sending him crashing into the dining table.

Jason couldn’t stand being pushed around. He swung back at Bryce with a punch. “Bryce, I’ve warned you. Stay the hell away from Estrella.”
