The Bound Between Us

Chapter 223

When Anastasia said this, Salma felt very uneasy inside.

“Your dad wouldn’t do that.” Salma said, “You’re his daughter. He’s already said that he’s got a house for you in Willowbrook. He’s giving you shares in his company and wants you to come help manage the biz. He wants to train you up.”

To make Anastasia believe, Salma showed her the shares transfer document she had hidden under her pillow.

Anastasia retorted, “Mom, do you want me to go back to my dad?”

Salma hesitated for a moment and said, “Tavon is your father, that’s a fact that can’t be changed. If he sincerely repents and accepts you, then my years of suffering would have been worth it.”
