Chapter 214

At this point, Bryce’s mother also became anxious. She turned to him and asked, “Son, is there something you haven’t told me?”

Bryce looked at his mother’s hand grasping for answers, gently patted it, and stood up. “Since everyone here is so eager to settle scores with Estrella, I’ll lay it all out for you.”

“Jason, during those years you were married to Estrella, you know damn well how seldom you came home. Did Estrella ever complain? I won’t even start on those scandals you had on the side. And then there was the car accident. Remember when Estrella called you from the hospital, needing your signature, and you just hung up on her?

“Let’s not dig too far into the past. Let’s talk about three years ago when Estrella was traveling for work. You promised to pick her up at the airport, but instead, you stood her to be with Holly. Estrella was pregnant at the time, waiting for you at Sandalwood Oasis, only to be knocked over by a stray cat, resulting in a miscarriage. That security footage from your place should still be around right?

“Estrella was hospitalized for a week after losing the baby. Did you even call her once? Visit her even once? Hell, you didn’t even see her once before she left Ravenwood.

“It’s not that Estrella couldn’t bear children or give birth to a Nelson heir. It’s that the Nelson family doesn’t deserve her.

“Now I’ve got to ask you all, what gives Jason the right to expect Estrella to remain pure for him? Why shouldn’t Estrella be with someone else? Besides, Estrella tried to hand Jason divorce papers more than once. He just wouldn’t sign them.”

Bryce kept referring to ‘you Nelsons’ as if he wasn’t one of them.

By the time Bryce finished speaking, Kristin’s eyes were brimming with tears. She turned Jason and demanded, “Jason, is it true what Bryce is saying? Did Estrella have a child three years ago, and the child was lost at Sandalwood Oasis?”
