In Chapter 147 of The Bond Between Us novel, the narrative takes a riveting turn, plunging readers deeper into the intricacies of Anastasia and Herman's evolving relationship. As the couple grapples with the shocking revelation of their shared past, the town of Riverdale becomes a backdrop for both confrontations and moments of quiet introspection.
Chapter 147 opens with Anastasia attempting to piece together the fragments of her forgotten memories, haunted by the striking resemblance of their daughter to a past she never knew she had. The quaint charm of Riverdale transforms into a landscape of uncertainty as Herman, determined to unearth the truth, confronts Anastasia with questions that demand answers.
Herman's reaction was just as Cason had anticipated. Cason smirked slyly. "Mr. Salstrom, I think we should find a private place to discuss some secrets about Anastasia. I'll spill the beans."
Herman frowned, his voice cold and hard. "Nelson, take him to the reception." Having said that, Herman left with the rest of the senior management.
Cason, sitting in his wheelchair, watched Herman, still stone-faced and imposing. It seemed his words had no effect on Herman's mood, which made Cason a bit nervous.
Herman was unpredictable.
Most people, hearing that their wife was pregnant before marriage, would flip out, demanding the truth of the matter. But aside from a brief moment of surprise, Herman had shown no other reaction.
The executives trailing behind Herman were all the cream of the crop in the business world. Each one of them was a heavy hitter in their own field. Cason was becoming more and more envious and bitter. Herman always seemed to be standing at a height that every man craved, out of reach.
"Sir, please follow me." Nelson's expression was blank, yet calm.
Cason thought his explosive news would create a big splash. But it felt like he was punching cotton, causing no reaction at all.
Cason felt frustrated but could only follow Nelson to the reception.
Nelson led Cason into the room, left him there, and assigned a secretary to keep an eye on him.
In the boardroom of Elysian Technologies, dozens of top-level employees were in a meeting, with Herman sitting on the side, expressionless, listening to the reports. The meeting lasted for nearly two hours, and Herman showed no signs of urgency to see Cason.
After the meeting, Herman went back to his office and asked coldly, "How is he?"
Nelson pulled up the surveillance footage of Cason in the room and turned the computer screen towards Herman. "Cason is starting to get restless."
