The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 338

Chapter 338 

Granny Annie made up her mind to confront Anastasia, but Julie didn’t dare tag along, for she feared earning Herman’s wrath. “Granny, the dinner party is about to start, and with so many people around, I think it’s best not to upset Herman. He might blame me if he finds out that I spilled the beans.” Julie confessed, her face a mask of trepidation. 

“I’ll confront that woman on my own, Julie. I appreciate your honesty, or else I’d still be clueless and fooled by her.” Granny Annie declared, “Rest assured, I won’t let anything out of the bag. Herman’s head over heels for her right now, but I’m going to wake him up.” Granny Annie was determined to pair Herman with Julie, so she couldn’t let Herman hold a grudge against her. “Granny, please try to calm down. Don’t let your anger get the best of you.” Julie pleaded, adding fuel to the fire, “Once Herman announces Anastasia’s identity at the party tonight, it’ll be too late.” 

“As long as I’m around, that woman won’t step foot into the Salstrom family. What a bunch of fools!” Granny Annie fumed. 

Just then, the stage lights brightened, and a line-up of A-list celebrities began to perform. The opening ceremony had begun. 

Herman, Feiman and Flynn were seated among the audience, and as per the itinerary, Herman, being the CEO of Elysian Technologies, was to give a speech after the opening ceremony. During this segment, Herman would introduce Anastasia to the public. 

Realizing this, Granny Annie hastily made her way to the backstage. She had to prevent Anastasia from appearing on stage. 

Noticing Granny Annie leaving her seat, Katelyn grew worried and excused herself from Salma and Pattie, following Granny Annie’s direction. Katelyn caught up with Granny Annie in the hotel corridor. 

“Mom, the party has begun. Where are you going?” Katelyn asked, trying to support Granny Annie. 

Over,the years, Katelyn had tried to mend her relationship with her mother-in-law, but Granny Annie had been unreceptive.

“I’m busy. Mind your own business.” Granny Annie retorted, glaring at Katelyn, “You’re a poor mother and a worse judge of character. You let that woman into the Salstrom family. Are you trying to ruin us?” 

Katelyn was taken aback, “Mom, what are you talking about? Are you upset about Anastasia?” 

“Don’t play dumb with me.” Granny Annie snapped, “Do you even know what kind of woman Herman is marrying? Do you know anything about her background?” 

“I do, Mom.” Katelyn replied calmly, “Ana is a talented jewelry designer.” 

“You’re lying to me! I know the truth. She never even attended college and was a street vendor. Is the Salstrom family so desperate that we’re marrying into such a lowly background?” Granny Annie retorted angrily, “You’re a disgrace as a mother.” 

Katelyn was taken aback, “Mom, yes, Ana was a street vendor. But so what? Didn’t the Salstrom family also start from humble beginnings? Ana is kind and intelligent, and she and Herman are in love. The Salstrom family doesn’t need to solidify its position through marriage anymore. What’s wrong with Herman choosing someone he loves?”
