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

Chapter 237

As Estrella pushed open the hospital room door, Jason was standing by the large window, ending a phone call. He turned around, his voice steady as he noticed her arrival. “Hello

Estrella.”

Without a moment’s delay, Estrella set her purse on the cabinet and cut straight to the chase. “The fire seven years ago, was it really an electrical accident? If it was an accident, why did you tell Bryce to stop investigating?”

Her directness brought Jason to a halt, his gaze locking with hers. He hadn’t anticipated that after all these years, the inferno that had almost claimed his life, and Holly’s, would resurface, let alone be brought up by Estrella and Bryce.

Jason was taken aback, but Estrella pressed on, “Jason, do you have evidence? If you do, why haven’t you come forward? What are you hiding?”

Bryce had mentioned that Jason had instructed him to drop the case, so Estrella knew there must be evidence, possibly even footage that someone had tried to erase. Jason was deliberately concealing something.

This wasn’t like Jason at all. Given the seriousness of the situation and her own professional instincts, Estrella wasn’t about to mince words. She couldn’t keep things bottled up inside.

Jason’s expression darkened at her barrage of questions, confused by her sudden interest. “Don’t you know about it?” he retorted!

Estrella couldn’t help but laugh incredulously. “If I knew, would I be here asking you for evidence?”
