30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 165

Throughout lunch, Estrella maintained an air of serene composure. It was as if she had anticipated the unfolding scene, her gaze occasionally flickering over Jason, who sat with furrowed brow.

Estrella did not question him, nor did she offer words of comfort. After all, they were adults, masters of their own emotions.

Beside Estrella, Bryce suddenly turned to her and quipped, “Estrella, how can you be so chill? Not even a hint of surprise?”

The rest of their circle had been visibly shaken, jaws nearly hitting the floor, yet Estrella seemed unfazed, prompting a wave of envy in Bryce.

With a chuckle, Estrella revealed, “The girl sitting next to Holly is the owner of that Maserati.”

“What?” Bryce gasped, even more astonished, before pressing on, “So Estrella, did you already see that Holly has returned?”

Estrella’s silence spoke volumes. Given the current situation at the time, it seemed that the girl driving the Maserati was Holly’s maid. Holly didn’t want people to know she had returned, nor did she want anyone to be aware of her presence. That was why the Ledford family had registered the car under the name of that girl.

As Bryce and Estrella chatted, Holly was wheeled over by a servant, her gaze briefly surveying the group, before she smiled weakly at Jason, “Jason, I’m not feeling up to par. I’ll head back now and treat everyone to dinner another day.”

“Sure,” Jason replied curtly.

Holly didn’t offer any explanation, and Jason didn’t ask anything. Then Holly navigated her wheelchair away, leaving the group to turn their collective gaze upon Jason.

With an edge in his voice, Jason snapped, “Why are you staring at me?”

Bryce shook his head, then, picking up his fork, he offered Estrella more food, “Estrella, eat up.”
