The Bound Between Us

Chapter 426

The harsh light had the man on the bed instinctively shielding his eyes. He grumbled irritably, “Get out.”

“What on earth are you doing here? Where’s Herman, my grandson?” Grannie Anita stared at the man in front of her in disbelief.

Wasn’t this Herman’s hotel room? Why was Joseph the one lying on the bed?

At the flick of the light switch, Julie had already burrowed under the covers out of embarrassment. But when she heard the unexpected voice and saw that it was Joseph, not Herman, she gasped in shock. “Oh my God! Why is it you, Joseph?”

Julie was shell-shocked. She thought it was Herman. How did it turn out to be Joseph?

Joseph had been roused by the commotion and sat up, gazing at the two people in the room, equally stupefied.

He knew Herman was wining and dining with Mr. Jarod from WOW Corporation tonight, so he had followed him. When he saw Herman being escorted back to his room, he entered as the door was left ajar.

Once he stepped into the room, Joseph noticed the peculiar scent. He lost control. His body was burning up. When Julie appeared, he didn’t even recognize her, using her to relieve his discomfort.

To ensure everything would go smoothly, Grannie Anita had arranged for an aphrodisiac fragrance to be placed in the room. It was originally intended for Herman, but Joseph had unwittingly walked into the trap.

When Joseph realized it was Julie, he didn’t act surprised. Instead, he smirked, “You smell rather nice.”

Julie was livid. She grabbed a pillow and started to hit Joseph. “You bastard, I’m going to sue you.”

Joseph dodged her attack, sneering, “If I remember correctly, you were quite cooperative. You can’t claim innocence when you’re wearing that perfume. It was consensual. What are you suing me for?”
