The Bound Between Us

Chapter 61

Cason was paranoid right now, feeling like everyone was working against him.

“Cason, are you crazy?” Demi exclaimed disappointingly. Tve 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. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“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.”

Demi was taken aback by his outburst, but eventually decided to do as Cason asked.

Just as Demi left, more creditors barged into the Kirkwood family, demanding Cason to pay his debts, leaving the house in shambles.

During the argument, Cason was given a thorough beating by the creditors, causing Amanda to call the cops in fright.

Anastasia had a good night’s sleep, she had to report to the company today, so she woke up early.

It was her first day at work, she didn’t know what to wear and felt torn.

She picked out a few outfits and asked Herman to help her choose.

Three dresses, a pair of jeans and a shirt. Herman glanced at them, picked up the jeans and shirt: “Go with this one.”

Anastasia held it up against her body, “Isn’t it a bit plain?”

Herman said earnestly, “Not at all, it goes well with your skin tone.”

Anastasia laughed, “I’m covered head to toe, only my face is visible. Do I really need to consider my skin tone when choosing clothes?”

Herman was clearly talking nonsense, but Anastasia knew what he meant, he didn’t want her to reveal too much.

Herman cleared his throat, “Wear this for today, I’ll buy you more clothes in a few days.”

Anastasia asked with a smile, “Herman, do all men like to see other men’s wives dressed up pretty, other men’s wives can wear less, but their own wives need to be more covered up?”

Herman smiled, “I don’t know about other men, I only care about my own wife, what do I care about other men’s wives?”

His words filled Anastasia with warmth.
