The Bound Between Us

Chapter 299

Elysian Technologies? It’s a scam ring.

Anastasia gave Herman a few good whacks. He didn’t fight back and just let her vent. When she was done, he clutched her hand and said gently, “Anastasia, I was just scared you couldn’t handle the truth. From now on, if I lie to you again, you can do whatever you want with me.”

Anastasia was really pissed. She thought about how she had dined with his folks, totally clueless about everything. While calling them, the whole family was conspiring to lie to her.

Anastasia glared at him angrily, then glanced at the onions. Her eyes said it all, cut the onions. Herman let out a deliberate sigh and headed towards the onions without a fight.

“Herman.” Seeing that he was actually going to cut them, Anastasia, who couldn’t bear it, pulled him back.

He took the opportunity to push her onto the nearby couch, saying lowly, “I knew it, you wouldn’t have the heart.”

Knowing she was tricked, Anastasia was both angry and helpless. “Let me go.”

“No.” Herman held her hand tight. “I won’t let go until you forgive me. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Anastasia let him pin her down helplessly. She looked up at the ceiling and said, “I was too stupid. I should have suspected you. From the house at Harmony Meadows, I should have known…”

Something occurred to her. She pushed Herman a bit and looked at him. “Did Monica know you’re from Elysian Technologies? Lauren, Christine, do they know?”

She finally realized that Monica had seen the CEO of Elysian Technologies at the club. She remembered Monica was panicking and asked about her blind date with Herman. That day, Monica saw the real face of the person in charge of Elysian Technologies but chose to keep quiet.

And Selena once claimed she was the mistress of the person in charge at Elysian Technologies. And Kenny, who brought the still hospitalized Blake to apologize to her, was also because of Herman. With Herman as their big backer, the Ledford family had to bow down. Cason’s law firm was investigated, and the factory went bankrupt.

Everyone knew, and she was the only one left in the dark.

Herman nodded. “Yes.”

Anastasia felt like hitting someone again. She gritted her teeth and said, “Herman, you bastard…”

Herman leaned in to kiss her lips, the best way to shut a woman up. Sure enough, Anastasia’s anger subsided a lot under Herman’s passionate kiss. Herman did lie

to her, but everything he did for her was real. Anastasia was just having a hard time digesting such big news.

She married a billionaire, the kind of thing that happened in novels, but very difficult in real life. Yet, it happened to her.

Seeing that her anger had subsided, he propped himself up, staring at her with deep affection and doting. “Anastasia, you’re not going to leave me, are you?”

There was a hint of unease in his tone. The person in charge of Elysian Technologies was a revered figure in the business world, with few things that could make him frown. But in front of her, he seemed uneasy. He was afraid of losing her.

Anastasia looked at Herman in front of her, her heart filled with pity. She teased, “Do you take me for a fool? I happened to find a billionaire, and I would let you go easily? What pisses me off is, why didn’t you tell me earlier. You want to live in a three-bedroom apartment, but I want to live in a mansion. You want to drive a Chevy, and I want to ride in luxury cars. If I had known you were so capable, I wouldn’t have been so worried when I ran into the Ledford family and Cason.”

Herman laughed. He liked Anastasia’s straightforwardness.

Anastasia glared at him, and pushed him away, but stayed on the couch, unwilling to get up. “Herman, I just want to stop trying. Even if you abandon me one day, a few billion in alimony would get me by.”

Herman looked at her tenderly. “No ambition. Your husband is a billionaire, and you’re satisfied with just a few billion?” Anastasia responded casually, “Forget about a few billion, just give me a billion to splurge on. Don’t just talk the talk.”

Herman said seriously, “Okay, I’ll give you a few billion right now.”

With that, Herman picked her up and headed for the bed.

The “few billion” here was not the usual “few billion.” Anastasia was helpless, “Herman, you’re such a jerk… Mmm…”
