In Chapter 402 of The Bond Between Us novel, the narrative takes a riveting turn, plunging readers deeper into the intricacies of Anastasia and Herman's evolving relationship. As the couple grapples with the shocking revelation of their shared past, the town of Riverdale becomes a backdrop for both confrontations and moments of quiet introspection.
Chapter 402 opens with Anastasia attempting to piece together the fragments of her forgotten memories, haunted by the striking resemblance of their daughter to a past she never knew she had. The quaint charm of Riverdale transforms into a landscape of uncertainty as Herman, determined to unearth the truth, confronts Anastasia with questions that demand answers.
Julie found Joseph’s behavior utterly unreliable. She had met Layna in secret, and that girl was the one who truly met her expectations.
Layla was selfish, disdainful towards the poor, and unscrupulous in her actions. She really liked that girl. If she could arrange for Layna to be by Anastasia’s side, it would be even more amusing.
Julie scoffed, “If the Salstrom family was as strict as they claim, you wouldn’t even be here.”
His eyes darkened at her words. “Julie, repeat that for me.”
“Can’t even handle a simple task. How do you expect to compete with Herman?” Julie mocked, “Joseph, you’re nothing more than a bastard child.”
“Watch your mouth.” Joseph seethed, grabbing Julie by the neck. “Who do you think you are, Julie?”
Julie was unfazed, defiantly looking back at him. Her voice was strained. “If you really had the guts, you’d kill Anastasia. Wouldn’t you love to see Herman suffer? She’s his Achilles heel.”
“You think you can use me as your pawn, Julie? You’re not ready for this game.” Joseph pushed Julie away.
Julie fell to the floor. Her hair scattered, and her coat dropped, revealing a low-cut, tight dress. From Joseph’s angle, her allure was fully displayed.
Julie was a stunning woman. Her disheveled appearance gave off an inviting vibe, tempting to anyone. Joseph’s Adam’s apple bobbed. “Quite the catch.”
Julie felt a pang of fear, quickly grabbing her coat. Joseph caught her hand, pinning her against his desk. A sinister smile was on his face. “Scared? What? Save yourself for Herman?”
“Joseph, let me go.”
Joseph’s scrutinizing gaze scared Julie. She was saving herself for Herman, and she wouldn’t choose anyone else for the rest of her life.
Men have a natural desire to conquer women. The more Julie resisted, the more Joseph was intrigued. Joseph held Julie’s hands tightly, pinning her against the desk. “I’d like to see if I can have a taste of what you’re saving for Herman.”
“Joseph, if you touch me, I’ll kill you.” Julie fiercely struggled, biting Joseph’s hand in desperation.
