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

Chapter 119
After Paula placed the lunch on his desk, she pulled out the chair opposite him
and sat down, leaning in conspiratorially. “Jason, I'm working at the company
now. Even though my brother is managing my shares, I'm the largest
shareholder, holding the same amount as he does.”
She'd been itching to boast about this to Jason for some time, but the right
moment had never presented itself. What she hadn't considered was that Estrella
was an only child. The entirety of Nelson International would be hers someday. If
she wished, Cole could transfer his shares to her right now.
“Congrats,” Jason uttered without much fanfare.
“Jason, the Lamonts and the Nelsons have always been tight. Grandpa approved
of this project collaboration himself. Sure, Estrella and I had our differences, but
nothing could affect the bond between our families.
“And let's face it. You've managed to move past Holly and now you're with
Estrella. So, one day, you'll divorce Estrella and find new love. I trust that
someday you'll see my worth, and truly appreciate who I am.”
Paula had always believed that she was destined to be with Jason, that she was
the one meant to be by his side in the end. So what if they were married?
Divorces were a dime a dozen these days. She wouldn't be surprised if theirs
was around the corner. Her confidence was unshaken.
Jason picked up the phone on his desk and dialed Drew, “Drew, bring a couple of
security guys over.”
Paula was still clueless when Drew arrived with the guards. Seeing Paula, he
promptly said, “Miss Paula, if you please.”
A puzzled Paula looked at Jason. “What's this about, Jason?”
He ignored her, signaling Drew, who gestured to the guards. They lifted Paula
from her seat. “My apologies, Miss Paula.”
“Jason!” she cried. Her voice trailed as she was taken away.
Once she was gone, Jason felt a sense of peace. Those who should seek him
out didn’t, while the uninvited just kept showing up.
Paula's mention of the project weighed on Jason's mind. He had to admit, Erin’s
skills and capabilities surpassed those of his father. The fact that Lamont
Corporation could climb out of such a crisis and secure a partnership with the
Nelsons spoke volumes.
No sooner had Jason dealt with Paula than his phone buzzed. It was Keith.
“Jason, bring Estrella over for dinner tonight,” came Keith's steady voice.

“Sure,” Jason agreed.
In the evening, Estrella stepped out of her law firm to find Jason's car waiting.
The air was chilly, and he smoked a cigarette, watching her approach.
Sliding into the passenger seat, Estrella quipped, “Showing off, aren't we?”
Jason used to avoid her, but now there was no pretense. Estrella almost
wondered if this was a different Jason altogether.
He tossed his cigarette, started the car, and announced, “We're having dinner at
the family estate.”
Estrella touched up her lipstick. “Got it. Kristin called me earlier.”
After she finished, Jason asked, “Trying to seduce someone?”
Estrella pursed her lips in the mirror, and then turned to Jason. “Of course you,
Jason.”
His response was a playful pinch on her thigh.
Arriving at the estate, they were met by Kristin's stern face. Something was off.
Kristin usually greeted Estrella with joy, but today her expression was unusual.
“Hey,” Estrella greeted. Kristin took her hand, warning, “The Lamonts are here.
Just be prepared.”
Estrella smiled, understanding the tension. That explained Kristin's nervousness.
After briefing Estrella, Kristin turned to Jason. Your grandfather wants to ease
tensions Don't be too stiff with him.”
Jason pocketed his hands. “Got it.”
Just then, a lively Paula bounced out. “Jason, you're back!” Her smile faded
when she Estrella, even rolling her eyes at her.
Estrella, unfazed, looped her arms through Jason's. “Honey, how far is that hot
spring mentioned? Maybe we should go for a couple’s retreat this weekend.”
“Sounds good,” Jason agreed.
Kristin interpreted for Paula in the background, “Paula, you know how Jason is. If
he likes someone, nothing else matters. Don't take it personally. Lovey-dovey
couples are all like that. You'll understand once you're married.”
Kristin's message was clear; My son's not into you, and neither am I. He's happy
with Estrella, so find someone else and stop cluttering the view.
Paula looked at Kristin with hurt in her eyes. “Don’t you like me?"
Kristin replied smoothly, “I didn't say that. But like my son, I only have eyes for
Estrella, my daughter-in-law.”

Kristin's words struck Paula hard. She had thought winning over Keith would
make her beloved by all the Nelsons, but the harsh reality was that the Nelson
family’s affection for her was lukewarm at best.

In truth, Keith wasn't particularly
smitten with her. It was just that the
old men from both families had
served together in the military, so
their bond, forged in the trenches, ran
deep. This meant that wherever help
could be extended, it would be. The

“Estrella, Jason.” The group entered the house, and Erin rose courteously to
greet them.
Today, Garrett had brought only Erin and Paula, sparing everyone the presence
of his good-for-nothing son. At the company, Hunter had been rendered
powerless, and his influence was completely hollowed out by Erin
With Estrella and Jason's arrival, dinner commenced.
The chef at home was invited from a five-star hotel, so the evening's fare was
nothing
short of tavish.
Keith's intent for the evening was to smooth over any friction between Estrella
and the Lamont family, and foster a mutual help between Jason and Erin in the
future.
Jason thought it unnecessary. He didn’t need anyone's help, but he was willing to
give Keith the respect due to an old family friend.

“Absolutely. Jason and Erin are sure to outshine our generation,” cheered
someone from
the Nelson side.
During the course of the dinner, Estrella remained silent, focusing on her meal.
No need for her to chime in at such gatherings.

unexpectedly followed. Estrella

Erin stepped closer, almost brushing against Estrella. “Thanks for praising me.”
He paused, and then added, “But seriously, my dad's early retirement owes much
to your...
assistance.”
From not too far off, another figure approached, but upon seeing the two of them
together, she halted abruptly.
