The Bound Between Us

Chapter 118

Selena stormed off, itching to see what tricks Anastasia had up her sleeve to handle Everlee

Victor got wind of Everlee’s antics at the company against Anastasia and promptly spilled the beans to Herman.

Herman responded nonchalantly. “You don’t have to stick your nose in. Let Anastasia do her thing. As long as she’s happy, it’s all good”

Herman’s words made him sound like a king who couldn’t rule for toffee.

While Victor knew that Anastasia relied on Herman, he wasn’t entirely aware of the specifics of their relationship and was now making some guesses

It seemed he needed to pull out all the stops in front of the future wife of his president.

Herman hung up and planned to return to Salstrom Manor.

He called his driver to wait at the gate of his community and stepped out.

As Herman emerged from the building and passed by the children’s playground in the community, a little girl suddenly tugged at his sleeve.

Herman looked down at the little girl. She was around four years old, with delicate features, giving him a sense of déjà vu

The little girl was skinny, her face was not chubby, and she looked malnourished. Her clothes were faded from washing, and her short hair was unevenly cut, indicating it wasn’t the handy work of a professional hairdresser.
