Chapter 425

Julie took the key card, barely able to contain her excitement any longer. She sprayed herself with perfume, slipped on her coat, and headed out.

According to the plan she had concocted with Grannie Anita, once she entered the room and got things underway, Grannie Anita would pretend to come to pick up Herman and catch him in the act with Julie. That way, Herman wouldn’t be able to deny anything, and Grannie Anita would have the perfect leverage to force him to divorce Anastasia.

Julie could already envision herself marrying Herman. Her heart was bubbling with joy.

Upon arriving at room 1122, Julie found the door slightly ajar. The room was dark, and Julie quickly shut the door behind her without turning on the lights. If Herman saw her face, the plan might be ruined.

Borrowing the light from outside the window, Julie noticed a figure on the bed. She slowly approached, “Herman?”

Before she could get a good look at the person on the bed, a hand reached out, pulling her into a warm embrace. “You smell good.”

The deep voice, coupled with the sudden immersion into a man’s arms, sent Julie’s heart racing. She didn’t even bother to identify the voice. It sounded enough like Herman.

And after all, this was all arranged by Grannie Anita. Julie had no reason to doubt. She was confident the man was Herman. The sudden happiness made her almost oblivious, leaving no room for overthinking.
