The Bond Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 452

Salstrom Manor.

Grannie Anita was in the family chapel, lighting incense for the Salstrom ancestors.

With a pleased smile, she muttered, "Ancestors of the Salstrom family, the child of that vixen is gone. I've finally done right by the family. When I join you in the afterlife, I won't be ashamed."

After lighting the incense, Grannie Anita knelt on a cushion to pay her respects.

Suddenly, without any warning, all the ancestral tablets toppled over with a crash.

Grannie Anita was startled, staring at the fallen tablets in shock.

Just then, footsteps echoed towards the chapel.

The Salstrom family's chapel was sacred and off-limits. The household staff weren’t allowed in, not even for cleaning—that was always Katelyn's job.

Trembling, Grannie Anita stood up with her cane and turned towards the entrance.

Herman approached, his stride long and frosty, an aura of menace radiating from him.

Grannie Anita had never seen Herman look so terrifying, his presence so chilling it felt like the temperature had dropped. She was rooted to the spot under his oppressive aura.

She had an inkling why Herman was there. Clutching her cane tightly for support, she reminded herself she was his grandmother. Surely, he wouldn't harm her over a bastard child.

But as Herman drew closer, Grannie Anita noticed the gun in his hand. For the first time, fear flickered within her.
