The Bound Between Us

Chapter 125

“Same old.” Anastasia replied with a smirk, her words dripping with insincerity. She’d grown tired of Demi at their previous school reunion.

Demi, smiling a closed lip smile, said subtly, “You’re too modest.”

She walked up to Anastasia, her eyes falling on her belly, and hinted, “Watch out, you might end up with blood on your hands.”

Anastasia’s face turned sour. “I have no idea what you’re talking about”

What did she mean? Blood on her hands?

Demi replied with a sarcastic tone, “Well, I certainly can’t compete with your luck. A woman like you snagging a husband like Herman, it’s just not fair. Don’t pretend, the truth always comes out”

A woman who once had a messy private life and dropped out of school due to a pregnancy bagged the most influential man in Riverdale. This kind of luck was both admirable and envy-inducing

Demis ambiguous words confused Anastasia. Not wanting to argue, she bypassed Demi and headed for the exit. Deini’s voice echoed from behind, “The higher you climb, the harder you fall, Anastasia. I’ll be waiting.”

Anastasia had Hermans backing, so Demi didn’t dare to really harm her. She could only vent through words.

Anastasia truly didn’t understand what Demi meant. She’d never been on a high pedestal, how could she fall?

Demi’s words didn’t bother Anastasia much. It was just a minor hiccup. Seeing Herman waiting for her at the door, she put Demi at the back of her mind.

At the hospital.

It was 10 pm, Demi visited Cason, “Had client meetings today, bit hectic. Sorry I’m late. How’s your recovery?”
