The Bound Between Us

Chapter 750

Hearing Anastasia's words, Feiman finally felt a wave of relief. After all, the

Salstrom family business was a gigantic empire, and trusting it to Anastasia, fresh out of high school, had made him uneasy.

Rumors had blown Anastasia's emotions out of proportion, painting her as someone who spent her days at home burning incense and making wild wishes. Meanwhile, Cynthia, who was supposedly doing something similar, attributed Anastasia's success to her own rituals.

Cynthia threw herself even more into her rituals, hoping to bring trouble to Anastasia and ensure she never found peace.

In the days that followed, Anastasia was incredibly busy. Making an example wasn't enough; she had so much to learn. Every day, she worked late into the night, and by the time she got home, Emmie and Nancy were already fast asleep.

Not wanting to wake them, she would quietly check on the kids before heading to her room to catch some rest, only to start all over again the next day with meetings and business dinners.

Anastasia managed to juggle both work and learning, earning herself the nickname "Iron Lady" in her industry.

To balance her responsibilities between the company and her kids, Anastasia sometimes ended up sleeping at the office. Other times, she would visit Southridge Estates to spend time with Pattie or return to Salstrom Manor to be with her little ones.

Henry came through as expected, securing Tristan's clients in just two weeks, which was a huge relief for Anastasia.

She was so swamped that even Monica found it hard to catch a glimpse of her.

One day, Monica was at the beauty salon, planning to visit Salma at Southridge Estates. Just as she reached her car, she spotted Jason.
