The Bound Between Us

Chapter 118

Selena stormed off, itching to see what tricks Anastasia had up her sleeve to handle Everlee

Victor got wind of Everlee’s antics at the company against Anastasia and promptly spilled the beans to Herman.

Herman responded nonchalantly. “You don’t have to stick your nose in. Let Anastasia do her thing. As long as she’s happy, it’s all good”

Herman’s words made him sound like a king who couldn’t rule for toffee.
