The Bond Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 514

After splitting up at the apartment, Herman finally checked his phone. Three missed calls, all from Feiman. The tail from the previous night came to mind, and Herman knew what was up.

Without wasting time, he drove straight back to the office. Feiman was there in no time.

"Where were you last night?" Feiman demanded, skipping any pleasantries.

Unfazed, Herman replied, "Your guys should have already told you."

Feiman was fuming. "Herman, your grandmother's barely cold in the grave, and you're back dealing with her killer? What happened to the promise you made at the wake? Do you want her to turn in her grave?"

"I haven't forgotten," Herman said with a hardened look. "She is turning, because her real killer is still out there, walking free."

"The real killer?" Feiman was taken aback. "What do you mean? Where's this 'real' killer coming from?"

"Just let me handle it," Herman said, his brows knitting together. "Why don't you focus on arranging Joseph's wedding with the Browns? And figure out how to keep Mom happy."

Feiman was struggling to read Herman. He sat down, looking intently at his son. "I don't know what's going on in that head of yours. I get Joseph to acknowledge his roots, you're silent. I arrange his marriage to Julie, no protest. Are you really okay with him being part of the Salstrom family tree?"

"Joseph's your son, not mine. What's it to me?"

Feiman was at a loss for words.

Changing the subject, Feiman said, "I heard from your Uncle Lin that you've been snagging a lot of projects from Brown Corp. What's your game?"

"Business is about skill, it's not about stealing," Herman retorted with a frosty smile. "Tell Devin not to get his knickers in a twist. It's all fair game, just a misunderstanding. If he wants a project, a simple heads-up will do."

Feiman, somewhat reassured by his son's response, had one last thing to say before leaving. "Remember what I said. Anastasia's not setting foot in the Salstrom house again."

He left, running into Flynn at the door. "Dad."
