The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 289

Harmon stared at the bill the waiter had just handed him, then looked over at Putnam and Fidelia.

Putnam was all smiles, clearly not intending to pay the bill. And Fidelia, being a woman, was even less likely to pay.

Seeing Harmon's inaction, the waiter reminded him, “Sir, please pay the bill at the front desk.”

That was when Harmon realized he'd been duped again, "Why should I pay? They should be the ones paying."

The waiter glanced at Putnam and Fidelia. Putnam quickly interjected, "Mr. Alstrom, I'm just an employee serving you here. I can't be expected to pay. This is your date with Fidelia. I was merely playing matchmaker. I get paid to do this and it's not right for me to pay."

Harmon then looked at Fidelia. She said, "I'm a woman, and I haven't been drinking. You can't expect me to pay. This is ridiculous. I have to go."

With that, Fidelia simply walked out.

Harmon looked at the waiter, then back at a smirking Putnam. He sneered, “You think you can fool me again, huh? Think I'm a pushover?”

Harmon threw his bag on the table, and his face got darkened as he turned menacing. He lunged at Putnam. Having been fired, tricked at the barber shop, and now conned again, Harmon's anger erupted.

Putnam was taken by surprise and could only struggle in vain. “He's attacking me! Help!” Putnam shouted.

Putnam was skinny and no match for Harmon, so Harmon gave him a pretty good thrashing.

"You think you can push me around, huh? Everyone's been tricking and swindling me. You've all gone too far." Harmon said.

Harmon was furious. Since joining the dating site, he'd been conned out of tens of thousands of dollars, and now they were trying to scam him again. He had taken out various loans for these dates and was now deep in debt. They thought they could just take advantage of him and con him.
