30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 219

Chapter 219

Watching Jason extend an offer that amounted to a fortune fit for the Forbes list, it was only Estrella’s weathered heart and the icy resolve born from a myriad of trials that kept her from faltering. Had this been a few years earlier, she might have wavered, and brazenly suggested they give it another try.

She took a deep breath, not accepting the share transfer documents and portfolio Jason pushed towards her. “Jason, I don’t take what isn’t mine. What we had, it was never about money.”

As he began to protest, she cut in, “Just get the papers signed, that’s all.”

Jason, ever the businessman, reminded her, “Estrella, you may not fully grasp the worth of Nelson International these days. The shares alone are valued at over three hundred billion. Are you sure you want to walk away?”

Nelson International was a titan of industry with a valuation in the trillions. Jason and his father, Landon, held a sixty-one percent majority, with the remainder spread between various stakeholders and public shares. This divorce wasn’t a petty squabble over chump change. It was a genuine division of wealth.

At Jason’s prod, Estrella chuckled, “I don’t take what isn’t mine.”

Before he could say anything more, she glanced at her watch, “I’ve got someone to meet. Let’s get this done.”

Reluctantly, Jason left the paperwork on the table. He’d hoped she would accept it all, but Estrella didn’t give him the chance.

The legal formalities were swift, a mere ten-minute affair, and they emerged into the bright day, each with their own decree of independence.

At the courthouse steps, Jason, hands buried in his jeans pockets in a familiar gesture, turned to Estrella. She, hands tucked in her charcoal cashmere coat, met hist gaze and slowed her pace.
