The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 125

"Same old." Anastasia replied with a smirk, her words dripping with insincerity. She'd grown tired of Demi at their previous school reunion.

Demi, smiling a closed-lip smile, said subtly, "You're too modest."

She walked up to Anastasia, her eyes falling on her belly, and hinted, "Watch out, you might end up with blood on your hands."

Anastasia's face turned sour. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

What did she mean? Blood on her hands?

Demi replied with a sarcastic tone, "Well, I certainly can't compete with your luck. A woman like you snagging a husband like Herman, it's just not fair. Don't pretend, the truth always comes out."

A woman who once had a messy private life and dropped out of school due to a pregnancy bagged the most influential man in Riverdale. This kind of luck was both admirable and envy-inducing.

Demi's ambiguous words confused Anastasia. Not wanting to argue, she bypassed Demi and headed for the exit. Demi's voice echoed from behind, "The higher you climb, the harder you fall, Anastasia. I'll be waiting."

Anastasia had Herman's backing, so Demi didn't dare to really harm her. She could only vent through words.

Anastasia truly didn't understand what Demi meant. She'd never been on a high pedestal, how could she fall?

Demi's words didn't bother Anastasia much. It was just a minor hiccup. Seeing Herman waiting for her at the door, she put Demi at the back of her mind.

At the hospital.

It was 10 pm, Demi visited Cason, "Had client meetings today, bit hectic. Sorry I'm late. How's your recovery?"

Cason glanced at Demi's clothes, "You weren't wearing this this morning."

He'd seen on social media that Demi was wearing a white dress in the morning, but now, she was in pants.

"Well, I spilled something on it, had to change." Demi attempted to change the subject, "By the way, you mentioned Anastasia had a child before. What do you think would happen if Herman found out?"

Cason said grimly, "Don't meddle in this. I have my own plan."

Despite Monica telling Cason the whole story, and Cason initially felt sorry for Anastasia, considering her past and how he was wronged by Herman, he hadn't given up his plan.

He was in debt of 80 million. Herman was Cason's last straw. He had to get Herman to pay off the debt.

Anastasia was his bargaining chip.

Demi said, "Just curious, you'll be discharged in half a month, what about your creditors."

Cason cut her off coldly, "I told you, it's none of your business."

Demi kept her mouth shut.

In the following days, Anastasia and Herman's relationship grew stronger. Katelyn, who once helped tidy up their room, found out they'd started sharing a bed and couldn't help but giggle. Looked like she might get a grandchild soon.

Katelyn shared the good news with the Salstrom family at the Salstrom Manor, even Feiman was pleased.

Anastasia successfully completed Everlee's project, her status within the company rose, and her colleagues' attitude towards her changed significantly.
