The Bound Between Us

Chapter 477

Chapter 477

When Herman walked in, a wave of disapproval hit him like a ton of bricks from Grannie Anita's side of the family.

"Herman, what's the deal? Your gran passed under suspicious circumstances, and word is you're shielding the culprit. Poor Gran must be rolling in her grave."

"That's disgraceful, Herman. We're talking about your own grandmother. Today, you owe us all an explanation. The killer has to pay."

Some started putting on a show of grief, crying, "Oh, dear Anita, such a devoted woman, tirelessly slaving away for this family, only to meet such a cruel end. Herman, how can you stand by the murderer?"

The speaker was old man Fu's brother, and by the family tree, Herman was obliged to call him Uncle.

Confronted with the barrage of condemnation, Herman didn't say a word. He sat down, expressionless, and listened to their tirade.

Seeing Herman stay mute, the elders played the authority card.

"Herman, speak up, will ya? Your wife offed Grannie Anita. An eye for an eye - it's as simple as that."

"When you married that girl, I heard Anita had her reservations. Turns out she was spot on. That kind of woman has no place as the matriarch of the Salstroms."

"If a spat leads to knives out, how can we ever feel safe speaking our minds?"
