Chapter 220
Herman didn’t want to get tangled up with Kitty any further. He left a check and walked out of the room with an air of indifference.
Flynn called after him, “Herman, wait up.”
Keeping a poker face, Herman said, “You deal with it.”
“How do I deal with it?” Flynn said with a bitter smile, “She’s a woman, I can’t just kick her out harshly. Did you or did you not…?”
Herman shot him a sharp look and said irritably, “I can’t remember.”
“Well, that’s not good.” Flynn said, “If it’s true, my sister-in-law won’t just let it slide. She’ll be super pissed. She won’t punish you, will she?”
Herman glanced back at the room where Kitty was and said, “You better investigate this woman thoroughly. If everything she says is true, give her some more money to make her leave. If she’s lying, find out who’s backing her.”
“You’re saying Kitty is a pawn?” Flynn asked.
“A grocery store cashier wouldn’t have the balls to pull off something like this.” Herman said coldly, “This woman is greedy and vain. This is going to be a bit of a headache.”
Flynn muttered, “If I bumped into a rich guy, I’d stick to him like a leech too.”
Herman left the matter to Flynn to handle. He didn’t quite trust anyone else with it, and he himself didn’t want to have anything more to do with Kitty. If Anastasia found out, she’d definitely be upset and give him an earful.
It was only after Herman had left that Flynn went into the room. Before he could say anything, Kitty handed him the check saying, “Sir, I don’t want this check. Please return it to Mr. Herman.”
Flynn was taken aback, “Ms. Kitty, this money is enough for you to live comfortably. You might never earn this much in your life. Are you saying you want more?”
Kitty shook her head, “I don’t want money, I want to be Mr. Salstrom’s wife. If he doesn’t believe me, I’m willing to sign a prenup. I won’t ask him for a penny.”
Flynn chuckled and said, “So you’re not after my brother’s money. Are you after his personality then?”
Kitty felt slightly embarrassed. She lowered her head and said, “I only like Mr. Salstrom. If he doesn’t want to take responsibility for me, then I don’t want to live.”
“You’ve been living just fine without my brother for all these years. Why is it that now you’ve found him, you can’t live without him?” Flynn was good at arguing.
Kitty felt ashamed, “I know you look down on me, I’m just a grocery store cashier. But Mr. Salstrom and I had a one-night stand, and he should take responsibility.”
Seeing that he couldn’t reason with Kitty, Flynn said, “Where do you live? I’ll take you home. My brother is having a meeting. Now that you know where he is, you don’t have to worry about him running off.”
No matter what, he had to get Kitty out of there. If things got out of hand, it would be impossible to clean up the mess.
At the hospital.
Anastasia was taking care of the injured Salma, completely unaware of what was happening with Herman.
Cynthia and Gianna had left after visiting Salma in the morning. Anastasia didn’t really have much to do as Herman had hired a nurse to take care of Salma. Most of the work was taken care of by the nurse. All Anastasia had to do was keep Salma company at the hospital. When it was time for lunch, Anastasia said to Salma, “Mom, I’m going to get some food. Just call the nurse if you need anything.”
