30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 65

Seeing the call was from the director, Estrella answered directly through the car’s speakerphone, “Hey.”

“Estrella, you rocked that courtroom today. The whole legal beehive’s buzzing about the case. Got a few companies just rang up asking about you; looks like they want you on their legal team.”

Bryce chimed in hurriedly, “Didn’t we settle my debt already? What’s this about?”

Bryce’s pitiful look earned him a tap of ash from Jason’s cigarette. “Let’s talk about the debt you racked up hiding out at Estrella’s.”
