The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 242

Chapter 242 

Kitty was clutching her head with both hands, legs gone jelly, sitting on the ground. Despite her greed, she didn’t possess the courage for a situation like this. Whenever she had to deal with Herman, she would prepare meticulously, memorize her lines, and practice how to handle unexpected situations. But when the gun was pointed at her head, she was scared shitless, blabbering out everything. 

“It was Ms. Brown. It was Julie made me do it,” Kitty shook her head, “I was forced.” 

Hearing Julie’s name, Herman wasn’t surprised at all, but Flynn was thunderstruck. “Why would it be her? Why would she do this?” 

Flynn asked Herman in confusion, “Bro, how did Julie know about your past?” 

Herman put his gun away, coldly telling Kitty, “Get lost.” 

Kitty felt like she had been pardoned, but she couldn’t help but drool over the money. She was kicking herself now. If only she’d taken the five mil last time, damn, greed really did make you stupid. 

At the Salstrom family mansion. 

Julie was a bit nervous. Kitty had done well the last time, but would she pull it off this time? She’d heard about Herman’s past from Collin and came up with this plan. She couldn’t find the woman from five years ago, so she had to find a substitute. Kitty was greedy and cheap, average-looking, perfect for the job. 

Katelyn asked a few times, “Why hasn’t she come down yet? My son didn’t do anything to her, did he?” 

Julie replied, “Don’t worry, Herman will handle it. Speaking of which, didn’t Herman get married? Why haven’t I seen your daughter-in-law here yet? Last time at the hospital, she didn’t seem to know who Herman was.” 

This was a loaded question, and Julie was testing Katelyn’s reaction. 

“Talking about it makes me mad. He finally got married, but he didn’t bring her home,” Katelyn said, “When will I get to hold my grandchild?” 

Julie forced a smile, “You seem to like your daughter-in-law. I heard she only graduated from high school, and she is from an average family.” 

“Ana is beautiful and kind. What’s important is that my son likes her. Besides, the Salstrom family doesn’t need to marry into wealth, we’re doing just fine,” Katelyn was open-minded, holding Julie’s hand, “Julie, I’ve always liked you. I tried to match you with Herman before, but how about my younger son?” 

This caught Julie off guard. Compared to Herman, Flynn was a far cry. 

“…” 

Before Julie could finish, Kitty came down, flustered. Julie was anxious, but she kept her poker face, “Ms. Kitty, what happened?” 

Kitty glanced at Julie, said nothing, and left in a hurry. She had to leave, or she’d lose the 200k Julie gave her. 

Katelyn was puzzled, “Why did she leave?” 

Julie knew her secret was out, and didn’t dare to stay, “I have some things to do, I’ll come visit you next time.” She had originally come to watch the drama, eager to witness Kitty’s performance. However, things didn’t go as planned, and instead, she found herself in trouble. 

Katelyn said, “Ah, Julie, you’re leaving too?” 

Julie left in a hurry, and Flynn came downstairs, “If she didn’t leave, my brother might’ve done something to her. She’s too greedy, daring to mess with the Salstrom family.”
