The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58 

The most straightforward revenge is often the nastiest. 

This was the first time Flynn had seen Herman pull off such a stunt. In the past, Herman would never resort to this. 

“Herman, what’s this guy’s deal? Is he a lawyer?” Flynn asked. 

Herman simply replied, “He’s your sister–in–law’s ex.” 

Flynn instantly got it. No wonder he felt a murderous vibe. 

The ex–boyfriend sure was unlucky to run into a love–rival like his brother. All Flynn could do was offer him a silent prayer. 

Herman dug up all the info on Cason through his computer. Flynn glanced at it and asked, ‘Bro, he’s just a lawyer. Do you really need to step in?” 

Herman, busy typing on the keyboard, said, “His shamelessness is beyond measure.” 

He wouldn’t have bothered with Cason, but since Cason was asking for trouble, he would happily oblige. 

“Bro, if you get hauled off to the police station, what about my sister–in–law?” 

Thinking that Anastasia must be worried sick, Herman replied, Tll head home first. The rest is on you.” 

Cason owned a law firm, the Kirkwood family ran a factory that was barely breaking even and had been hemorrhaging money over the years. 

Cason’s father had replaced the materials with toxic substances way beyond the limit for the sake of profit. Once this scandal breaks out, the Kirkwood family would be devastated. 

Herman’s goal was to bring down Cason and his family completely. 

Cason’s father clearly hadn’t raised him well. 

To deal with the Kirkwood family was easy Herman didn’t even have to lift a finger, Cason had a shady record abroad, he had taken money from both parties during a lawsuit and had bribed law enforcement officers. 

Cason’s reputation abroad was not good, which was the real reason he returned home. 

Life overseas hadn’t been smooth, so he wanted to make a fresh start back home. 

A selfish, hypocritical man who would stop at nothing for his own gain, Herman thought, Anastasia really had bad judgement when she chose him. 

Eager to comfort Anastasia, Herman rushed home. An hour later, his Rolls–Royce pulled up in their neighborhood. 

Flynn asked, “Bro, how long are you planning to keep this from my sister–in–law?” 

Herman didn’t know how to answer. Because once a lie is told, more lies are needed to cover it up. 

“I know what I’m doing” Herman said, getting out of the car and heading into the neighborhood. 

Anastasia had just returned home. She went looking for Katelyn, but she wasn’t home and didn’t answer her calls. 

At this moment, Katelyn was hanging out with friends, oblivious to what was happening. 

Anastasia was extremely anxious and was about to call Monica when she heard the sound of keys in the door. 

Anastasia jumped. The only people who had keys were her and Herman, and Herman should be at the police station. So who was opening the door? 

As she wondered, the door opened and she saw Herman. At that moment, her tense nerves suddenly relaxed. Unable to control her emotions, she rushed 

into Herman’s arms. 

“You’re back! I thought you’d be thrown in jail. I’ve made so many calls. I didn’t know what to do or how to help you. Herman, I’m so sorry. I got you into 

this mess.” 

Anastasia couldn’t control her emotions and tears ran down her face. She was very scared.
