In Chapter 242 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 242 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.
Kitty was clutching her head with both hands, legs gone jelly, sitting on the ground. Despite her greed, she didn't possess the courage for a situation like this. Whenever she had to deal with Herman, she would prepare meticulously, memorize her lines, and practice how to handle unexpected situations. But when the gun was pointed at her head, she was scared shitless, blabbering out everything.
"It was Ms. Brown. It was Julie made me do it," Kitty shook her head, "I was forced."
Hearing Julie's name, Herman wasn't surprised at all, but Flynn was thunderstruck. "Why would it be her? Why would she do this?"
Flynn asked Herman in confusion, "Bro, how did Julie know about your past?"
Herman put his gun away, coldly telling Kitty, "Get lost."
Kitty felt like she had been pardoned, but she couldn't help but drool over the money. She was kicking herself now. If only she'd taken the five mil last time, damn, greed really did make you stupid.
At the Salstrom family mansion.
Julie was a bit nervous. Kitty had done well the last time, but would she pull it off this time? She'd heard about Herman's past from Collin and came up with this plan. She couldn't find the woman from five years ago, so she had to find a substitute. Kitty was greedy and cheap, average-looking, perfect for the job.
Katelyn asked a few times, "Why hasn't she come down yet? My son didn't do anything to her, did he?"
Julie replied, "Don't worry, Herman will handle it. Speaking of which, didn't Herman get married? Why haven't I seen your daughter-in-law here yet? Last time at the hospital, she didn't seem to know who Herman was."
This was a loaded question, and Julie was testing Katelyn's reaction.
"Talking about it makes me mad. He finally got married, but he didn't bring her home," Katelyn said, "When will I get to hold my grandchild?"
Julie forced a smile, "You seem to like your daughter-in-law. I heard she only graduated from high school, and she is from an average family."
"Ana is beautiful and kind. What's important is that my son likes her. Besides, the Salstrom family doesn't need to marry into wealth, we're doing just fine," Katelyn was open-minded, holding Julie's hand, "Julie, I've always liked you. I tried to match you with Herman before, but how about my younger son?"
