The Bound Between Us

Chapter 605

Anastasia was holding onto hope, even the slightest chance, and now with solid evidence in hand, she was determined to keep a close eye on Gianna. She had learned to keep her emotions in check, knowing that staying calm was key to getting her daughter back.

When Salma heard that Cynthia and Gianna were involved, she was furious. "So it was them? Why would they take Pattie? Heartless witches! We've never done anything to them. Your aunt is my own sister, and Gianna's your cousin. Just because she had a crush on your husband and he didn't feel the same, she's gone twisted. What kind of people are they?"

Salma was nearly dizzy with anger, her words hitting the nail on the head. It baffled her how family could do such things without any real reason.

"People can be so depraved; they just need an excuse," Anastasia murmured. "If Gianna hadn't been scarred, maybe she wouldn't have done this. She wants to drag everyone down with her."

"That's just sick," Salma fumed. "The ungrateful snake! When your aunt's family was in trouble, I helped, and when Gianna got arrested, you bailed her out. This is the thanks we get?"

"Mom, I don't care about their motives now. I just want Pattie back safe. If anything happens to her, I won't forgive Gianna." Anastasia stood up. "I'm going to rest. You should too."
