The Bound Between Us

Chapter 104

Anastasia had a nerve-wracking night, but now that the Ledford family had let things go, she was naturally feeling better.

So, she was quietly enjoying herself on the side of the road.

Herman, even on the phone, could feel Anastasia’s joy

He chuckled, “The folks from the Ledford family should be even more relieved than you”

“Why?” Anastasia asked curiously. “It’s weird. Blake got his ass handed to him, and the Ledford family didn’t come after me. Instead, they apologized and gave me a bunch of jewelry”

Herman asked over the phone, “Did you accept it?”

1 didn’t dare.” Anastasia said. “Such valuable stuff! Who knows if the Ledford family is setting a trap. What if they accuse me of blackmail? Then they’d be accusing you of assault and me of extortion. We’d both be screwed.”

Herman laughed, his tone becoming a lot softer. “I really don’t know how your mind works. How did you think of that?”

Anastasia said, “Right? Good thing I saw it coming. Otherwise, I’d have been tricked by the Ledford family.”

Herman praised her, “My woman was the smartest one out there.”

This sweet atmosphere was making Collin uncomfortable.

He quietly rolled up his sleeves to look at his goosebumps

This was too cringe.

Herman gave Collin a cold stare, hinting that he should stop bothering them

“Naturally,” Anastasia said smugly “Blake is a jerk, but luckily, Kenny is reasonable. Otherwise, it would’ve been a disaster,”

Hearing the sound of a car on the other end of the phone, Herman asked, “Where are you?”

Tm by the road, about to head home, Anastasia wanted to tell Herman about being fired, but she didn’t know how to bring it up. She decided to wait until Herman came home that night

“Be careful. Dont answer calls on the road”

“Okay, I got it. Anastasia asked, “Will you come home for dinner?”

“I have something tonight. I will be back late. If you’re bored, you can go have dinner with Ms. Katelyn Herman suggested “Let Ms. Katelyn take you out.” “Okay, I won’t bother you then,” Anastasia didn’t want to disturb Herman’s work, so she didn’t say much more.

She sat for a while, checked her phone, and only then learned about the financial storm at Ledford Corporation.

How sudden?

Ledford Corporation’s market value had shrunk by billions of dollars.

Anastasia couldn’t even imagine

Really, in the world of the rich, even a small loss was a lot, and she had to think twice even about buying a slightly expensive piece of clothing.

After reading the news about the Ledford family Anastasia got up, went home to put her things away, and then went to find Salma. As for Katelyn, she was too shy to bother her.

After hanging up the phone, Collin could finally talk.

“It sounds like the Ledford family asked her forgiveness and offered compensation, but she refused. If she accepted the Ledford family’s compensation, that would be a sign of respect for the Ledford family. It’s a bit strange to me”

Collin was a bit puzzled. There was a difference between not accepting and daring not to accept

Why would she, as Hermans wife, say that the Ledford family might take legal action?

Herman calmly said, “She doesn’t know that I’m the man in charge of Elysian Technologies. She thinks I’m just a regular employee, so don’t just blabber.”

Collin was speechless.

*is pretending to be poor in fashion now? Are you experiencing the life of an ordinary person?”

“It’s a coincidence. It’s a long story,” Herman said “You get off first; I have something to do, so I can’t accompany you.”

Sure enough, Herman had Collin get off at the next intersection.

Collin mumbled and then took out his phone to call his driver to pick him up.

For Anastasia, the matter with the Ledford family was over, but Herman didn’t plan to let the Ledford family off so easily.

Since Anastasia wouldn’t accept compensation, he wanted to make the Ledford family pay more.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
