The Bound Between Us

Chapter 317

Flynn looked like he’d swallowed a fly. He stuttered, “A…Ana, you…you…”

“What’s the matter, Flynn? Catching the stutter virus from Clyde?” Anastasia teased, Get your tongue straight.”

Flynn made up his mind and said, “You’re cheating on my brother, making him a cuckold, this is… this is too much.”

“Too much what?”

A voice suddenly echoed from behind. Turning his head, Flynn saw Herman. He was both surprised and relieved, “Oh, brother, it’s you! I thought she was cheating on you!”

Anastasia and Herman both rolled their eyes.

Herman slapped Flynn on the back of his head, “I think you’re itching for a trip to the Wild West.”

Anastasia picked up the breakfast, “I’m going next door to see my mom, you two brothers chat.”

Flynn waved her off, “Take care. Don’t take my words to heart.”

Anastasia didn’t respond. She didn’t bear grudges with Flynn.

After Anastasia left, Herman sat down for breakfast, “What’s the situation now?”

Anastasia hadn’t mentioned Ashley’s scheme to Herman. Flynn blurted out everything in one go. “Anastasia’s stepmother is pure venom. They hired someone to kidnap sister-in-law last night. And they even tried to extract her bone marrow for their own daughter. It’s beyond outrageous. You must stand up for her.”

Hearing this, Herman felt a pang of guilt and distress. No wonder Anastasia had been startled last night when he’d snuck home. Herman asked gravely, “Did you get any evidence?”

“I even recorded a video.” Flynn pulled out his phone, played the video and showed it to Herman, “HD quality, irrefutable proof.”

Hearing Ashley’s plot against Anastasia in the video, a sharp look flashed in Herman’s eyes. He reflected, “Your sister-in-law might have other plans.”

Anastasia hadn’t called the police and kept the evidence secret; she must have something up her sleeve.

Flynn asked, “So what should we do next? Should we reveal our identity as the Salstrom family? I bet the Mortons would think twice before messing with her.”
