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

Chapter 256

Since Jason had asked directly, Holly didn’t beat around the bush and stared at Jason as she said. “Jason, are you thinking about remarrying Estrella?”

Jason fixed a cool gaze on her and retorted, “Got a problem with that?”

He was well aware of Holly’s feelings for him and had made his rejection clear. But Holly had insisted that friendship was enough for her. They had known each other for years, so Jason didn’t further push her away.

Jason’s aloof demeanor made Holly frown slightly as she probed further, “Jason, have you forgotten the fire seven years ago? Have you forgotten how Estrella once wanted you dead? Have you forgotten she has a son now?

Jason’s expression darkened as he shot back icily, “Holly, I don’t need you to worry about my affairs or remind me.” He had never liked people meddling in his business or giving unsolicited advice, which was why Holly’s reminder irked him.

Jason was refusing to give her any leeway, so Holly mustered her courage and said, “Jason, did you forget that I have a copy of the evidence you have against Estrella?”

After she said that, Jason fell silent. Over the years, he had given Holly some consideration precisely because she held evidence against Estrella. He didn’t want to stir up this matter again.

After staring at Holly for a long moment, Jason pulled out a cigarette and lighter from his pocket and lit up. Taking a deep drag, he exhaled a thick ring of smoke and asked, “Holly, do you know what you’re saying?”

Although she hadn’t spelled it out, she was threatening him.

Holly watched Jason earnestly, “I know what I’m saying, and, Jason, I’m only reminding you for your own good. Even if I don’t pursue the fire from seven years ago, Estrella has a son. You being with her will just invite ridicule.”

Jason responded indifferently, “That’s my business.”

Holly immediately objected, “I don’t agree.” She continued, “After what Estrella has done, why should she get to have you? Why should you still care for her? Jason, I know I’ll never be with you in this lifetime, but I won’t agree to you being with Estrella, either.”

Though Holly was two years older than Estrella, people had always compared them, with Holly invariably coming up short. Even in matters of the heart, they happened to both fall for the same man, which was quite unfortunate.

Holly couldn’t bear losing the man she had loved for so many years to Estrella. So even if it meant Jason would be upset, she had to speak her mind.

Upon hearing Holly’s disagreement, Jason chuckled, and when he did that, he somehow

After stubbing out his cigarette, Jason asked, “And what grounds do you have to disagree?” He didn’t even let his family dictate his life, so what was Holly to him?

Stung by Jason’s mockery, Holly’s cheeks burned with embarrassment. After a long stare, she said, “I have the evidence of Estrella setting the fire.”

Holly’s declaration brought a sharp edge to Jason’s gaze as he looked at her intently. As their eyes locked, Holly, sensing Jason’s displeasure, said, “Jason, I’m not trying to threaten you, but I simply can’t accept someone who wanted me dead being with the man I love. I promise, as long as you don’t get back with Estrella, this secret will never reach a third party.”

Even if she couldn’t have Jason, she wouldn’t consent to him being with Estrella.

Jason laughed at Holly’s demand. After a long look, his face lost its mocking smile, and he said coldly, “If you were to disappear, then certainly a third person would never know.”

As Jason’s words fell, Holly’s expression changed instantly, and her gaze towards Jason became incredulous.
