The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 36

Anastasia's seemingly confused reaction, in Cason's eyes, was all an act.

Cason smirked, mocking, "Did you really forget what you did, Anastasia? You dated two guys at the same time when we were together. You could do it again now, right? Why pretend to be so noble? You can be with your hubby, and I can turn a blind eye."

Anastasia was Cason's dream girl, and the fact that he never fully had her body always left him with a lingering sense of regret.

The real reason Cason sought out Anastasia was because he never truly had her. Part of it was also that he wanted to show off now that he's successful, basking in his own glory.

"Cason, what the hell are you talking about?" Anastasia was pissed off. "I never thought you could stoop so low after all these years. I want you to leave now."

She didn't want to engage in any more conversation with Cason.

She was disappointed, heartbroken. She had waited for him all these years, and she was always loyal to him. Now, just because she didn't want him anymore, he was biting back.

Without saying anything more, Anastasia turned around and walked into her complex.

Cason looked gloomy as he got into his car and slammed the door.

He wasn't planning to let Anastasia go that easily. He pulled out his phone and made a call: "Keep digging. I want to know who that guy is."

Fuming, Cason called his private investigator and then drove off. At the intersection ahead, he spotted a limited edition Rolls Royce parked by the roadside.

There were only three of these cars worldwide.

The license plate was a limited edition lucky number, which caught his attention. He couldn't help but take a few more glances. The windows were tinted, so he couldn't see who was inside.

Whoever could afford such an eye-catching car must not only be wealthy but also have some power.

Cason felt a pang of jealousy. All guys love fancy cars, and his ride wasn't even worth one wheel of that Rolls Royce. Plus, it was a rental.

He had spent all his savings on his law firm. His family used to be well-off, but now they were just middle class, and they had spent a lot over the years.

For the sake of his business and to maintain his dignity, he could only afford to rent a Maybach.

And about the house in Southridge Estates was also a lie.

In the Rolls Royce, Herman had witnessed the altercation between Anastasia and Cason, his face expressionless.

After dealing with his company's affairs, he rushed back home, only to see Anastasia and her ex at his front door.

The driver asked, "Mr. Salstrom, are we heading back to Harmony Meadows or Salstrom Manor?"

"Salstrom Manor," Herman replied coldly.

The driver didn't dare to say anything else and started the car towards Salstrom Manor.
