Chapter 160 Estrella was taken aback, rolling her eyes as she said, “Jason, let go of my hand, will ya?” Jason peeled off his shirt, revealing a chest and abs that made Estrella’s mouth go dry. When her gaze inevitably drifted southward, she had to swallow hard again. Not only was his face a knockout, but his body was sculpted to perfection, and even his...
Estrella’s gaze glazed over, and Jason, pinching her chin, asked teasingly, “What're you staring at, huh?” Estrella shot back with a hint of sass, “I'll look wherever | damn well please.” After all, there wasn’t an inch of him she hadn't seen.
Playing along, Jason started to unbuckle his belt, eyeing her with a mischievous glint, “This one’s for you.” With that, he cast aside his trousers and pulled Estrella into an embrace, whispering seductively in her ear, “Let's spice things up tonight.” Jason didn’t wait for a response before blindfolding her with a piece of lacy lingerie.
Estrella reminded him, “Take it easy, Jason. There might be a bun in the oven, you know.” “When have | ever been anything but gentle with you?” he retorted, leaning in to kiss her lips.
After a playful teasing in the bedroom, Jason scooped up Estrella and carried her to the bathroom for a luxurious bath.
Post-romance, while Estrella lay motionless on the bed, her phone suddenly rang. It was Bryce.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJason was in the shower at the time.
Answering the call, Estrella spoke weakly, “What's up, Bryce?” She felt genuinely exhausted after their lovemaking.
On the other end, Bryce was all fired up, “Estrella, | forgot to tell you at the karaoke bar, we tracked down that white Maserati.” At the mention of the Maserati, Estrella tensed up.
Bryce continued, “The owner's a gal named Rebecca, 24 years old.” Estrella inquired, “Any connection to the Ledford family?” “You're on the ball, Estrella. Did you look into it? This Rebecca turns out to be a distant relative of the Ledfords.
She went abroad four years ago and only recently returned.” The timeline was uncanny, almost matching the period of the great fire at Holly’s. And that 1/4 09:55 Chapter 160 driver didn’t seem like she belonged to the Ledfords. She lacked that aristocratic air..
Estrella’s thoughts lingered on the passenger of the Maserati more than anything else.
Bryce, sensing Estrella’s silence, pressed, “Why the sudden interest in this car? Is it related to your case?” Snapping back to the conversation, Estrella dismissed it, “Just curious.” The resemblance was uncanny, and the Ledford connection was intriguing.
Bryce reassured her, “Alright then. Just callif you need anything.” Over the years, Bryce had always been there for Estrella, true to his word that she was his top priority.
After she hung up with Bryce, Jason emerged from the bathroom, noticing Estrella put down her phone. As he dried his hair, he glanced at her with a mix of suspicion and concern.
Their eyes met and Estrella snapped, “It was Bryce.” Jason tossed the towel aside, remarking on her fiery temper. He pulled her into his arms, “From now on, | don’t want any other guy laying a finger on you.” Recalling Bryce’s friends fawning over Estrella had left a sour taste in Jason's mouth.
Estrella scoffed. Before she could say another word, Jason's lips were on hers. After their kiss, Estrella slipped out of his embrace and under the covers, eager for sleep.
Jason joined her in bed, enveloping her in his arms. As Estrella nestled against him, she couldn't help but think back to the night's revelation at the karaoke bar, and the mysterious figure that lingered in her mind.
Jason, sensing her distraction, squeezed her waist, “What's on your mind?” Estrella snuggled closer, “Nothing,” and with that, she closed her eyes to sleep.
The next morning, Estrella was woken by the vibration of her phone. Jason was already gone from her side.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was Bryce calling. Estrella answered with a groggy “Hello?” “Estrella, | need a bailout. Jason is makinggo to the office. You gotta csave me.” She replied lazily, “He won't bite. Just tough it out.” Bryce pleaded, “You gotta help me.” As Bryce whined, Drew snatched the phone away, “Mr. Bryce, Mr. Jason is waiting for you.” 214 Chapter 160 “Drew, my phone, giveback my phone!” “Helpout here, will ya?” Drew then knocked on Jason's office door, “Mr Jason, Mr. Bryce is here.” At the desk, Jason glanced up at Bryce, disinterestedly saying, “Is the paperwork for Velvet Voices KTV sorted? Once it is, Bryce can start managing the place.” Bryce’s confusion turned to shock as he asked, “What's this all about?” Drew explained, “Mr. Jason just bought the Velvet Voices karaoke club. You'll be running the place, overseeing the staff and managing gigs. He said the club’s performance better double under your watch, or you'll be off to build another school.” Bryce was flabbergasted, “How could you makedo something like a pimp?” Jason chuckled with a mischievous glint in his eye. Without so much as a glance at Bryce, Jason commanded, “Drew, escort Bryce to report to Velvet Voices KTV.” “Right away, Mr. Jason.” Drew nodded, turning to Bryce with a courteous, “This way please.” “Jason, you can’t do this to me. How's Ella gonna look atif | do this?” “Jason, Jason!” Bryce’s pleas fell on deaf ears. Jason ignored him completely, signaling Drew to take Bryce off to the club.
Meanwhile, at Justice Guardians LLP.
Estrella had just walked into her office when a colleague cup with a message, “Ms. Estrella, there's a client who insists on seeing you. She’s requested you personally her case.” After a few high-profile cases, especially those involving Ryan and Nick, who had significant social presence, Estrella’s reputation had soared both inside and outsid circles.
“Sure,” Estrella responded as she headed to the client lounge.
Carrying her customary two cups of coffee, she entered the room to see a woman with distinguished air about her, who looked to be just in her early thirties, although Estrella suspected she was older.
“Ms. Estrella,” the woman stood up promptly to greet her.
“Ms. Megan,” Estrella handed her one of the coffees.
le Taking the coffee with both hands, the woman settled down and introduced herself, “Ms.
3/4 09:55 4/4 Chapter 160 Estrella, my nis Megan, I'm 42 years old.” Listening to her introduction, Estrella turned on her recorder, picked up her notebook and pen, ready to take notes.
