The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 430

Grannie Anita’s words struck the air like a bolt of lightning. Katelyn and Feiman’s faces paled significantly. Only Herman remained unfazed.

Feiman asked anxiously, “Mom, what do you mean? Is the baby not from our Salstrom bloodline?”

Katelyn too, nervously questioned, “How is that possible, mom? Who’s been feeding you such nonsense? Don’t go around spreading rumors. Just yesterday you accepted Ana. Why are you changing your tune now?”

Grannie Anita stood tall and spoke with a righteous tone, “Every word I say is true. I have evidence of Anastasia’s infidelity.”

Herman, still composed, responded flatly, “Show me your evidence.”

Grannie Anita couldn’t wait to whip out her phone and present several photographs she had stored. “See, Herman, this is the man. While you were out, he would sneak into your home and rendezvous with Anastasia. Look at this picture - it’s him and Ana leaving a hotel one after the other. And this one, look at how close they are, almost touching.”

Herman was taken aback upon viewing the photographs, as the man in the pictures was the same as the one in the security footage Anastasia had shown him earlier. Although the man’s face was not visible, his height, build, and even clothes matched perfectly. It was easy to recognize.

Herman’s expression shifted slightly, and he took Grannie Anita’s phone to examine the photographs more closely. Indeed, it was the man from the surveillance footage. “Grannie, where did you get these photos?”

The picture of Anastasia and the man exiting the hotel was taken with a watermarked camera, indicating the date and time - all verifiable information. However, this didn’t prove anything as the two were not walking out together but at a certain distance from each other. As for the picture where Anastasia and the man appeared to be embracing, it was due to the camera angle. It was clear that someone had intentionally chosen an angle that would cause misunderstanding.

Sensing Herman’s change in demeanor, Grannie Anita thought he was starting to believe her. “I hired a private investigator to tail Anastasia. When she wasn’t able to conceive, then suddenly claimed to be pregnant, I had my suspicions. So I had her checked out, and sure enough, there were issues. Herman, now you see the extent of my concern. Don’t let Anastasia fool you.”

With Grannie Anita’s serious tone, and the photographs, Feiman and Katelyn started to believe her too. Had Anastasia betrayed the Salstrom family, carrying a child that wasn’t theirs?

Katelyn, unable to process this information, got dizzy. Feiman, quick to react, steadied her, “Katelyn.”

Feiman was furious, “Herman, bring Anastasia here and let’s get to the bottom of this.”

“No need,” Herman returned the phone to Grannie Anita. “These photos prove nothing. Some are clearly due to camera angles. Anastasia hasn’t betrayed me. The child she carries is mine. I won’t allow a word of today’s events to reach her ears.”
