The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 339

Chapter 339 

The lounge was deserted. Grannie Anita scanned the room, then turned and quizzed Katelyn, “Where is everybody?” 

Katelyn cast a glance at the empty room. Anastasia was nowhere to be found, which secretly relieved her. She knew how quick-tempered Grannie Anita could be. If she were to catch Anastasia now, there would definitely be a scene. 

“I have no idea.” Katelyn replied, shaking her head. Recalling Grannie Anita’s earlier words, she asked, “Mom, you just got back from the countryside. Where did you hear these rumors that Ana can’t have children?” This was something Katelyn needed to understand. 

Grannie Anita’s face was stone-cold, “Don’t worry about how I found out. You’re all so clueless, even more so than me, an eighty-year-old woman. You’re all being fooled by that woman.” 

“Mom, Ana isn’t like that. There must be a misunderstanding.” Katelyn defended Anastasia. 

Grannie Anita snorted, “You’re defending her because you’re all the same, a bunch of women with ulterior motive’s, trying to marry up. I see, you’re deliberately defying me by choosing such a daughter-in-law.” 

Such harsh words stung Katelyn. She said, “Mom, no matter what I do, you’re never satisfied. I even signed a prenuptial agreement, not claiming a dime from the Salstrom family. What else do you want from me? I’ve given the Salstrom family two sons. 

“That’s your only merit. Otherwise, I would have had Feiman divorce you long ago.” Grannie Anita retorted, glaring at Katelyn, “But now the woman Herman married can’t even produce an heir. What’s the point of marrying her? There’s no shortage of beautiful women out there.” 

While they were arguing, the television in the lounge was broadcasting live footage of Herman giving a speech. 

As Herman stepped onto the stage, he seemed every inch a king, full of regal majesty. His resonant voice echoed from the microphone, “Thank you all for joining us today, as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Elysian Technologies. Starting from a mere sales booth fifty years ago, Elysian Technologies has grown step by step to where we are today…” 

Herman briefly went through the history of Elysian Technologies, capturing the rapt attention of hundreds in the audience. 

From the waiting area below the stage, Anastasia watched Herman. She felt a deep sense of pride and happiness. 

Such a wonderful man was her husband. Thinking about it, this was something that could make anyone wake up smiling from a dream. A man like Herman, with his charm and good looks, was definitely top-tier. He was like a walking hormone, with just one look from him being enough to make a woman blush and her heart race. There was no woman who wouldn’t like 

such a man. 

The anniversary celebration was being broadcast live. Anyone who followed the company’s account could watch the live stream. The number of viewers in the live stream had exceeded half a million and was still rising. Eighty percent of them were women, all there to see Herman’s face. 

The comment section was bustling, with netizens proclaiming their love for Herman and expressing their jealousy. Monica also tuned into the live stream for a while, then nudged Anastasia, “Ana, look, you have hundreds of thousands of rivals. Your husband is so popular. Everyone in the live stream is calling him ‘hubby.” 

Anastasia glanced at the screen, not at all jealous, but rather, proud. She laughed, “He really does attract a lot of attention.” 

“More than just attention. It’s like he’s stirred up a hornet’s nest, or a butterfly valley. I need to clarify in the comments that your husband is married. The outside world doesn’t know about it.” Monica said. 

While speaking, Monica commented in the live stream, “Everyone, stop fighting. Mr. Salstrom is already taken. He’s married.”
