In Chapter 61 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 61 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.
Cason was paranoid right now, feeling like everyone was working against him.
"Cason, are you crazy?" Demi exclaimed disappointingly. "I've been with you for so many years, you should know my feelings for you better than anyone else. Why would I work against you? We've invested in our law firm together, I emptied my savings, even sold my parents' house for it, what would I gain by screwing you over?"
"Then who? Who is sabotaging me?" Cason seemed delirious, "My dad's factory is also in trouble, someone must be stabbing me in the back. It must be Anastasia, that homewrecker."
Cason couldn't figure out who else it could be. Herman knew about his flashy lifestyle being all smoke and mirrors, perhaps he was green with envy and wanted to drag his name through the mud.
"Do you mean Herman?" Demi asked.
"I had a run-in with Herman yesterday, I sued him, and then both the firm and the factory ran into trouble. If not him, then who?"
Demi was doubtful, "He's just a worker, does he really have that much power?"
"There's no such thing as a secret forever, he must have dug up dirt on me and aired my dirty laundry." Cason thought about this and hurriedly called the police station to inquire if Herman was still there.
But what Cason got in response was that there was no such person, not even a record of the case from the previous night.
Hearing this, Cason immediately realized that he had underestimated Herman.
Apart from Herman's name and workplace, he knew nothing about him. He had underestimated him.
"Demi, do me a favor, go to Elysian Technologies' R&D department and investigate his background."
"Cason, you're still green-eyed over Anastasia, what you should be thinking about now is how to bail the firm out. Your lawyer's license might get revoked, the firm might have to close shop, we've invested millions, all of it could be down the drain."
That was the real reason Demi came to see Cason. To please him and start a law firm, she invested millions. She can't afford to lose it all like that.
Cason's eyes blazed with anger, he sternly said, "None of that matters now, if we don't figure out who’s got it in for me, everything else would be a wild goose chase. Go check out that guy's background, pronto."
