In Chapter 149 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 149 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 was a big shot with a fat bank account. Erasing someone from his life was easy as pie.
Cason's face darkened. "Mr. Salstrom, you gotta believe me. Once I get the dough, I'm outta here."
Seeing Herman agree to his terms without hesitation, Cason began to kick himself for not asking for more. He gave Herman his bank account details. If he could get ten million dollars, he could pay off his eight million dollars in debt and have enough left to start fresh overseas.
Without missing a beat, Herman transferred the money from his personal account. Cason got the bank alert and excitedly checked his account balance. Ten million. His family's entire wealth didn't even add up to this much.
For Herman to casually transfer ten million dollars, it meant this was just pocket change to him and not his life savings. Cason suddenly realized that Herman's fortune must’ve been much bigger than what was known to the public.
"Thanks, Mr. Salstrom." With the money in his hands, Cason patted the documents on the table, laughing. "These are all yours now. But I'm curious, Mr. Salstrom, what are you gonna do about Anastasia?"
"That's between me and my wife. None of your business." Herman nonchalantly twirled his lighter and said evasively, "You won't be around to see what happens between Anastasia and me."
"What do you mean?" Cason's alarm bells started ringing.
Herman chuckled. "I wonder how you even got your lawyer's license. You know the law, and yet you break it. Your extortion amount is ten million dollars. You do realize that's enough to put you in jail for years, right?"
Cason's face turned pale. "Herman, are you trying to frame me? Aren't you afraid I'll expose Anastasia's dirty secrets?"
"You're such a dummy." Herman looked icy cold, pulling out a recorder from his drawer. The recording was of Cason's extortion attempt.
This was undeniable proof.
