Chapter 274

In the backseat of his sleek Maybach, Jason gripped the steering wheel with both hands, having just left the Dorvold residence not long ago. His phone, resting on the passenger seat, buzzed with an incoming call.

The caller ID flashed Holly’s name, causing Jason’s expression to darken for a moment. But with his mind swirling with thoughts about Estrella’s fruitless doctor’s visit earlier that day, he reluctantly answered.

He hesitated before responding, prompting Holly to press on. “We need to talk about that fire seven years ago. I figure even if you could bury me, you wouldn’t want everything to go down in flames, especially not with Estrella caught in the crossfire.”

Jason’s voice was flat as he agreed, “Fine.”

“Come to my place. I’ll text you the address.”

Jason didn’t reach for the glass. Holly held it out for a moment longer, then set it down with a resigned chuckle. “After all these years, you still won’t give me an inch, will you?”
