Chapter 224

Suddenly, the atmosphere became somewhat suggestive.

As Jason leaned in, Estrella swiftly pushed him away with a casual air, “I’m heading back now, thanks for the ride.” Without waiting for a response, she opened the car door and stepped out.

Jason watched Estrella disappear into the night, his eyes laden with a depth of emotion he couldn’t mask. Jason never imagined that, three years later, when they met again, they would end their marriage like this.

Long after Estrella’s figure had vanished, Jason finally started the car and drove away from the Dorvold estate.

Back at Sandalwood Oasis, while burning the midnight oil in his study, Jason

unintentionally pulled up the surveillance footage from three years ago. No matter how many times he watched it, it always cut deep.

Unintentionally, Jason opened the evidence related to the fire seven years ago. He had it examined by experts many times, and all the evidence was proven to be authentic. The conversations between Estrella and Jesse were also genuine, with no falsifications. Faced with the incontrovertible evidence, Jason felt a turmoil stirring within him and decided to shut down the encrypted files he was working on. He then browsed through other home security feeds, catching glimpses of himself returning home in the dead of night.

In truth, throughout the years of his marriage to Estrella, there weren’t that many nights he hadn’t come home. It was just that on many occasions when he did return, nobody knew about it.

Memories flooded back, and Jason, rubbing his temples, lost the will to work. He powere down his computer and retired to the adjacent master bedroom for the night. Without Estrella, sleep eluded him, his rest nowhere as peaceful as it once was.

After the party ended, everyone went their separate ways. And Estrella found herself increasingly occupied with her caseload.
