The Bound Between Us

Chapter 643

Asher never really explained anything to Julie. His reason for keeping her around had nothing to do with helping her. In fact, he was using Julie as leverage. Devin owed Asher a big debt, and taking his daughter seemed like a fair trade to Asher. Asher had warned Julie to stay out of sight if she wanted to stay alive. After giving his warning, he left.

Asher was always cautious in his dealings. He never stayed with Julie longer than necessary. To him, she was just a pawn, a tool. He had no intention of getting himself tangled up in unnecessary trouble.

After Asher left, Julie lost whatever courage she might have had to pay her last respects to Devin.
