The Bound Between Us

Chapter 532

As Julie stood at the altar, her heart skipped a beat when she spotted Herman in the crowd. She couldn't help it; she had loved him for so long. How could she not feel a flicker of joy seeing him on this special day? But her joy quickly turned to dread when she saw her bridesmaid walk over to Herman and greet him with a formal, "Mr. Salstrom." Julie's heart sank. The bridesmaid was working with Herman all along. Standing next to Herman was Flynn, and behind them, a group of Herman's loyal followers.

Feiman, misunderstanding the situation, thought Herman was there to attend the wedding. "Find a seat, the ceremony's about to start," he said cheerfully.

Herman ignored him and made a beeline for the bride and groom.

Julie's anxiety spiked as Herman stopped just a few feet away, his eyes boring into her.

"Herman!" Julie's voice wavered. Despite everything, she couldn't help but fantasize about him being her groom instead of the man standing next to her.

Anastasia, seeing Herman, stood up excitedly from her seat in the corner.
