The Bond Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 649

Anastasia kept quiet about who she was meeting, which had Julie on edge. She was worried it might be Herman or, even worse, Jason.

Jason, being a cop with a sharp detective instinct, always made Julie nervous, fearing she might slip up.

Julie put on a cheerful smile and said, “Anastasia, I’ve got a little gift for you. Please, take it.”

She handed over a set of lipsticks. No matter who Anastasia was meeting today, Julie was set on finding a way to end Anastasia’s pregnancy.

The thought of Anastasia having twins with Herman was something Julie couldn’t stand.

“Thank you, Leonora. You’re too kind,” Anastasia said, smiling as she accepted the gift.

Just then, Anastasia’s friend arrived. “My friend’s here,” she said to Julie.

Anastasia waved Monica over, who was walking towards them. “Monica, over here.”

When Julie saw it was just Monica, she felt a wave of relief.

Monica and Anastasia were best friends, so meeting up for some afternoon tea wasn’t unusual.

As Monica approached, she glanced at Julie and said, “So this is the Leonora you mentioned, Ana? She’s quite the beauty.”

Anastasia had already briefed Monica about their little plan to test Leonora.

Without solid proof, Anastasia wouldn’t feel settled.

She chose Monica for this because they had a long-standing understanding, and Monica, being in the cosmetic field, could easily spot any facial work.

As soon as Monica sat down, she noticed Julie’s extensive cosmetic surgery.

She discreetly gave Anastasia a signal, confirming Julie’s procedures.

This confirmation gave Anastasia a sense of assurance.
