In Chapter 58 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 58 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.
The most straightforward revenge is often the nastiest.
This was the first time Flynn had seen Herman pull off such a stunt. In the past, Herman would never resort to this.
"Herman, what's this guy's deal? Is he a lawyer?" Flynn asked.
Herman simply replied, "He's your sister-in-law's ex."
Flynn instantly got it. No wonder he felt a murderous vibe.
The ex-boyfriend sure was unlucky to run into a love-rival like his brother. All Flynn could do was offer him a silent prayer.
Herman dug up all the info on Cason through his computer. Flynn glanced at it and asked, "Bro, he's just a lawyer. Do you really need to step in?"
Herman, busy typing on the keyboard, said, "His shamelessness is beyond measure."
He wouldn't have bothered with Cason, but since Cason was asking for trouble, he would happily oblige.
"Bro, if you get hauled off to the police station, what about my sister-in-law?"
Thinking that Anastasia must be worried sick, Herman replied, "I'll head home first. The rest is on you."
Cason owned a law firm, the Kirkwood family ran a factory that was barely breaking even and had been hemorrhaging money over the years.
Cason's father had replaced the materials with toxic substances way beyond the limit for the sake of profit. Once this scandal breaks out, the Kirkwood family would be devastated.
Herman's goal was to bring down Cason and his family completely.
Cason's father clearly hadn't raised him well.
To deal with the Kirkwood family was easy. Herman didn't even have to lift a finger. Cason had a shady record abroad, he had taken money from both parties during a lawsuit and had bribed law enforcement officers.
Cason's reputation abroad was not good, which was the real reason he returned home.
Life overseas hadn't been smooth, so he wanted to make a fresh start back home.
A selfish, hypocritical man who would stop at nothing for his own gain, Herman thought, Anastasia really had bad judgement when she chose him.
Eager to comfort Anastasia, Herman rushed home. An hour later, his Rolls-Royce pulled up in their neighborhood.
