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

Chapter 267

Outside the private room, Estrella took the call, “Korey.”

Then she replied, “You’re outside? Okay, I’ll come out.” After hanging up, she made a beeline for the entrance.

Once she reached the parking lot, Estrella didn’t see the familiar vehicle. Instead, there was a black Mercedes parked on the outer edge of the lot, its license plate numbers unremarkable. Yet Estrella sensed something different about this car. As she approached, Blake actually stepped out to open the backseat door for her.

Estrella slid into the car and said, “Everyone’s here, you sure you don’t want to come in for a bit?” Then she added with a laugh, “Guess that wouldn’t be quite right anymore, given your new status.” Otherwise, he wouldn’t have switched cars to come here.

Korey chuckled, “I’d love to join you all, but it’s not so simple for me anymore.” Ever since he chose this path as a politician, he had to give up many things.

Estrella carried a subtle fragrance with her, and as she looked at him, she said, “Thanks for your support behind the scenes with the Glimmering Lake case.”

Estrella knew without Korey’s backing, the case might have been buried long ago.

Korey replied, “Stopping corruption and serving the people is our duty.” He added, “The higher-ups are here now. We’re digging deep into everything linked to ChemiSphere. It’s only fair after all your hard work.”

Estrella said, “If we manage a thorough investigation and bring fairness to the villagers of Glimmering Lake, that would be the best outcome.”

Korey remarked, “Jason’s been quite involved this time. He cares about you. You tv should take good care of each other.”

Estrella smiled, “Sure, I’ll follow your orders.”
