The Bound Between Us

Chapter 727

When Sean heard that Herman was trapped under the landslide, he was stunned. "Herman's there too? Sis, this is dangerous. We need to get out of here now."

"Hold on, this is our golden ticket," Sandy said, calculating her next move. "If Herman's in trouble and we stick around to help, he'll owe us big time. And if he doesn't make it, we can confirm it ourselves. Without Herman, Elysian Technologies would crumble like a house of cards."

The real kicker was that without Herman, Anastasia would lose her main support. Sandy was itching to see how Anastasia would keep her coveted status as Mrs. Salstrom.

Once Sandy decided on something, there was no changing her mind, so Sean reluctantly stayed with her.

Rescue teams came in waves, along with a crowd of volunteers and local villagers, all pitching in to help.

Sandy joined the volunteer crew, supposedly to lend a hand, but she was really there to put on a show. As she pretended to search for the missing, a professional photographer was busy snapping pictures of her.

Of course, it was all staged. Sandy wasn't going to do any real heavy lifting. In front of the camera, she wore a mask of deep concern, perfectly playing the part of a compassionate do-gooder.
