The Bound Between Us

Chapter 241

Herman led Kitty into the study. Coming face-to-face with this woman once again, he had zero patience left.

“Kitty, I’m gonna tell you one last time, take the dough and scram, or else, I got a million ways to make sure you never see daylight again.”

Kitty saw the resolve in Herman’s eyes. Even if she was a blockhead, she wasn’t about to throw her life away.

The previous conflicts had shown her the financial might of the Salstrom family. She may have been tempted to play dirty, but she knew she was just a counterfeit, a pawn in someone else’s game. If she succeeded, that person would expose her, if she failed, her fate would be even more miserable.

After some thought, Kitty decided that taking the money and making a run for it was the best option. She really didn’t want to stir up trouble in the Salstrom family; she was pushed into it. Kitty also realized that this might be her last shot. She could give up on her dream of marrying a rich man, but it would be great if she could make some extra cash.

Kitty dropped the act, and her demeanor changed to a more candid one, no more pretenses. “Mr. Salstrom, if you want me to beat it, five million ain’t gonna cut it.”

Seeing Kitty smartening up, Herman’s expression eased slightly. He leaned against the table and asked, “How much are you looking for?”
