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

Chapter 48
Autumn asked Estrella with suspicion. She had known since childhood that
Estrella was no angel.
Estrella, with a hint of mischief, retorted, “What bad thing could I possibly be up
to? I've just been through the wringer, almost got taken advantage of, you know.”
Autumn's concern deepened at Estrella’s words “Estrella, what happened? Tell
me With a dismissive chuckle, Estrella replied, “Mom, it's alright. Just come with
Dad on Saturday, okay? Otherwise, people might start calling you petty.”
Autumn sighed, resigned. “Fine, I'll come with your father.”
So when Saturday night rolled around, Autumn and Cole headed off to the gala
together.
Ever since Estrella rejected Jason a few days ago, he hadn't returned to
Sandalwood Oasis. He didn’t invite her when the Lamont family extended an
invitation, so Estrella attended the event with Jesse.
Estrella was dressed to kill in a little black dress, while Jesse sported a crisp suit,
her hair short and slick. Together, they were a force to be reckoned with, drawing
stares from all the guests.
“Estrella, you've got some nerve showing up.” Paula sneered as the duo entered
the party. “If I were you, I'd have buried myself in a hole by now.”
Estrella, clutching her clutch bag and smirking, fired back, “Seems the Lamonts
are happy making a loss, must be nice to have such deep pockets.”
Paula, bristling, managed to keep her cool. “You're just jealous, Estrella. And my
brother is too smart to make a bad deal.”
Estrella’s eyes twinkled with a knowing light. “Well, I've got my eyes on the
project. It won't be easy for the Lamonts to avoid a loss.”
Paula shot back, “As if we need you watching over us. You should see how much
our stock has soared since we landed that project. The Lamonts were busy
celebrating their soaring stock prices, which brought them many other benefits.
“Some things aren't about immediate profits,” Estrella said cryptically, a smile
playing on her lips. “I hope the Lamont family’s stock continues to rise.”
Verbally gaining the upper hand, Paula finally felt happy.
When Paula’s gaze fell on Jesse next to her, she noticed Jesse glaring at her
coldly. Paula thought of Estrella hitting her. Scared, she quickly slipped away.
Paula's mother had warned her to keep her temper in check tonight, and not to
embarrass the family.
As Paula bolted, Jesse snickered, her hands buried in her pockets, thinking,
“What a

coward!"
No sooner had Paula left than Melinda and Damita approached. Seeing Jesse
dressed in a suit, Damita scolded, “Jesse, where's your sense of decorum? If you
have no shame, at least think of your father’s reputation.”
Jesse's gaze darkened. “What I wear is none of your business.”
Damita was livid, but Melinda calmed her down, suggesting it was too late to
argue about Jesse's attire.
Damita turned to Estrella and threatened, “Someone will put you in your place
eventually.” Estrella was unfazed. “Not in your lifetime,” she replied coolly.
Damita was furious, vowing to find evidence against Estrella for the previous
incident.
Estrella admitted to orchestrating the attack on them. “Go ahead and take it to
court,” she challenged.
Seeing Melinda and Damita leave in anger, Estrella’s face became increasingly
serious. Wasn't it Damita who planned everything that's happened to Jesse
today? Even when Jesse was just a child, Damita never thought of letting her go,
and for this kind of evil person, Estrella has no sympathy at all.
“You talk so sharply, aren't you afraid of them trying to sabotage you?” Just as
Melinda and Damita left, Erin's voice came from behind slowly.
Estrella calmly turned around to see Erin still as gentle and refined as ever. She
smiled lightly and said, “Why would I fear them sabotaging me from behind.
Haven't your two families already joined forces and declared war on me?”
Erin leaned in close, a whisper brushing against Estrella’s ear, “Estrella, are you
scared? How about fulfilling the promise you made last time?”
Estrella raised an eyebrow, “Did Jason's lesson last time not stick?”
“Jason?” Erin stood up straight, his hands slipping casually into his pockets.
“Didn't you two come together today? What, another lovers quarrel?”
Erin's voice was magnetic, a soothing melody to the ears, but the words that
flowed from him weren't always as charming.

really are.”
Their gazes locked fiercely, each reflecting the other's face. Estrella bet a
hundred to one that Erin didn't have the guts.
The smile on Erin's face widened. Estrella really knew how to set a trap.
Suddenly, a buzz swept through the crowd, “Mr Jason, there's Mr. Jason, looking
sharp as ever!”
“How can Jason be so effortlessly handsome they murmured.
