The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 58

The most straightforward revenge is often the nastiest.

This was the first time Flynn had seen Herman pull off such a stunt. In the past, Herman would never resort to this.

"Herman, what's this guy's deal? Is he a lawyer?" Flynn asked.

Herman simply replied, "He's your sister-in-law's ex."

Flynn instantly got it. No wonder he felt a murderous vibe.

The ex-boyfriend sure was unlucky to run into a love-rival like his brother. All Flynn could do was offer him a silent prayer.

Herman dug up all the info on Cason through his computer. Flynn glanced at it and asked, "Bro, he's just a lawyer. Do you really need to step in?"

Herman, busy typing on the keyboard, said, "His shamelessness is beyond measure."

He wouldn't have bothered with Cason, but since Cason was asking for trouble, he would happily oblige.

"Bro, if you get hauled off to the police station, what about my sister-in-law?"

Thinking that Anastasia must be worried sick, Herman replied, "I'll head home first. The rest is on you."

Cason owned a law firm, the Kirkwood family ran a factory that was barely breaking even and had been hemorrhaging money over the years.

Cason's father had replaced the materials with toxic substances way beyond the limit for the sake of profit. Once this scandal breaks out, the Kirkwood family would be devastated.

Herman's goal was to bring down Cason and his family completely.

Cason's father clearly hadn't raised him well.

To deal with the Kirkwood family was easy. Herman didn't even have to lift a finger. Cason had a shady record abroad, he had taken money from both parties during a lawsuit and had bribed law enforcement officers.

Cason's reputation abroad was not good, which was the real reason he returned home.

Life overseas hadn't been smooth, so he wanted to make a fresh start back home.

A selfish, hypocritical man who would stop at nothing for his own gain, Herman thought, Anastasia really had bad judgement when she chose him.

Eager to comfort Anastasia, Herman rushed home. An hour later, his Rolls-Royce pulled up in their neighborhood.

She didn't know where to turn to or what to do. During the time when Herman was taken away by the police, she had thought a lot.

If Herman was really sentenced, she would wait for him, no matter how long it took.

Seeing Anastasia sobbing in his arms, Herman felt both heartbroken and happy.

He was pained to see her crying, but happy that she was crying for him.

Holding her, he gently stroked her back and comforted her softly, "Don't cry, it's okay. I will be back soon."

Anastasia was unable to calm down, her tears and snot were all over Herman's clothes.

"It's okay, it's okay." Herman's voice was very gentle.

Anastasia sniffled, slowly calming down. Only then did she realize she was still in Herman's arms and had gotten her tears and snot all over his clothes. She immediately felt embarrassed.

She quickly pulled away from his embrace, but Herman suddenly held her tightly. Their bodies pressed close together, she looked up at him in confusion.

His deep eyes stared intently at her, his voice hoarse, "Anastasia..."
