30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 274
In the backseat of his sleek Maybach, Jason gripped the steering wheel with both hands, having just left the Dorvold residence
not long ago. His phone, resting on the passenger seat, buzzed with an incoming call.
The caller ID flashed Holly’s name, causing Jason’s expression to darken for a moment. But with his mind swirling with thoughts
about Estrella’s fruitless doctor’s visit earlier that day, he reluctantly answered.
“Jason, let’s meet up, Holly’s voice came through, clear and insistent..
He hesitated before responding, prompting Holly to press on. “We need to talk about that fire seven years ago. I figure even if
you could bury me, you wouldn’t want everything to go down in flames, especially not with Estrella caught in the crossfire.”
Then she added, “I can hand over all the evidence to you.”
Jason’s voice was flat as he agreed, “Fine.”
“Come to my place. I’ll text you the address.”
Half an hour later, Holly swung open the door to her apartment, revealing a cozy interior bathed in warm light and quiet, with a
bottle of red wine and candlesticks adorning the dining table. Holly wore a black lace nightgown beneath her robe.
“You made it, Jason. Join me for a drink?” she said, closing the door and pouring him a glass.
Jason didn’t reach for the glass. Holly held it out for a moment longer, then set it down with a resigned chuckle. “After all these
years, you still won’t give me an inch, will you?”
She continued, her voice softening, “You know, a woman needs to be charmed. Charm Estrella, and she might fall back into your
arms. Charm me, and I’ll give you the evidence. Isn’t that simple?”
Before Jason could reply, Holly pressed on, “You know I’ve never held this against Estrella-all out of respect for you. I care about
you, Jason.”
Jason sat down at the table, his expression unchanged. “Holly, Estrella didn’t start that fire. If you truly want to clear things
choose to cooperate.”
“Not Estrella?” Holly laughed incredulously. “The evidence points to her. How could it not be?”

After a pause, she shifted gears, against you. It’s my birthday today.”
ok, I didn’t invite you over to arque or to use Estrella
Jason didn’t bother with pleasantries or birthday wishes. He just watched her coolly.
When their eyes met and Jason didn’t bring up the fire again, Holly took it as a sign of softening and slipped off her robe,
revealing more of her glowing skin against the black nightgown. Still, Jason remained silent.
Holly, undaunted, moved closer. “I’ve waited for you for years. I just wanted to be with you. I don’t want to live with regrets,
Jason.” With that, she knelt on one knee before him and gently took his hand.
Jason swiftly pulled his hand away, his gaze icy. “What makes you think this will work with me, Holly? That I’d fall for anyone who
undresses in front of me? Naive.”
Holly, still hopeful, pressed for a response. “Jason, I don’t believe it. I don’t believe that your have no feelings for me. If that’s
true, why didn’t you clarify things with the Ledford family back then?”
Jason stood up slowly, his voice even. “I did the Ledford family a favor seven years ago because your brother helped Estrella. I
owed him that much-not to ruin his reputation.”
Her brother?
She remembered that time when Estrella had been cornered, and she had called her brother Korey to rescue her, hoping that
would endear him to Estrella, But it hadn’t worked.
Staring into Jason’s indifferent gaze, Holly, with tears in her eyes, asked, “If your fulfill my wish, I can provide you with all the
evidence. From now on, we won’t mention the fire incident, and we won’t hold any grudges against each other for the past.
Would you. agree?”
Looking at Holly’s eager eyes, Jason said, “Holly, you’re not significant enough to negotiate with me.”
Holly’s eyes filled with tears. “Must you be so heartless?”
Jason lowered his head to stare at Holly. Despite her current sexiness and allure, Jason’s eyes showed no hint of the typical
lustful gaze towards a woman. Instead, he coldly. stared at her and asked, “Holly, were you involved in the fire seven years ago?”
