In Chapter 220 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 220 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 didn't want to get tangled up with Kitty any further. He left a check and walked out of the room with an air of indifference.
Flynn called after him, "Herman, wait up."
Keeping a poker face, Herman said, "You deal with it."
"How do I deal with it?" Flynn said with a bitter smile, "She's a woman, I can't just kick her out harshly. Did you or did you not...?"
Herman shot him a sharp look and said irritably, "I can't remember."
"Well, that's not good." Flynn said, "If it's true, my sister-in-law won't just let it slide. She'll be super pissed. She won't punish you, will she?"
Herman glanced back at the room where Kitty was and said, "You better investigate this woman thoroughly. If everything she says is true, give her some more money to make her leave. If she's lying, find out who's backing her."
"You're saying Kitty is a pawn?" Flynn asked.
"A grocery store cashier wouldn't have the balls to pull off something like this." Herman said coldly, "This woman is greedy and vain. This is going to be a bit of a headache."
Flynn muttered, "If I bumped into a rich guy, I'd stick to him like a leech too."
Herman left the matter to Flynn to handle. He didn't quite trust anyone else with it, and he himself didn't want to have anything more to do with Kitty. If Anastasia found out, she'd definitely be upset and give him an earful.
It was only after Herman had left that Flynn went into the room. Before he could say anything, Kitty handed him the check saying, "Sir, I don't want this check. Please return it to Mr. Herman."
Flynn was taken aback, "Ms. Kitty, this money is enough for you to live comfortably. You might never earn this much in your life. Are you saying you want more?"
Kitty shook her head, "I don't want money, I want to be Mr. Salstrom's wife. If he doesn't believe me, I'm willing to sign a prenup. I won't ask him for a penny."
Flynn chuckled and said, "So you're not after my brother's money. Are you after his personality then?"
Kitty felt slightly embarrassed. She lowered her head and said, "I only like Mr. Salstrom. If he doesn't want to take responsibility for me, then I don't want to live."
