“I’ve heard about it. Jason still hasn’t uncovered the truth? That’s unlike his usual efficiency.” Estrella said.

Serene sighed, with a hint of frustration in her voice. “In all the years I shadowed Jason, he never brought it up. Even when I spoke to him recently about Holly asking me about the fire, he didn’t say much. You’re a lawyer. Can you dig into it?”

When Estrella passed by Jason’s room, she noticed Holly was already asleep on his be Shaking her head, Estrella wrapped her coat tighter and retreated to her own room.

The next morning, as Estrella’s eyes fluttered open, Bryce was peeling an orange on the sofa beside her. Noticing she was awake, Bryce popped a couple of orange slices into his mouth. “Run into Jason last night? Any arguments?”
