In Chapter 507 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 507 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.
Flynn had no clue why Herman wanted him to find someone like Henry, but when Herman gave an order, he carried it out without question.
Henry Jameson, a clean-cut, charming college senior at twenty-two, was just about to graduate. Facing Herman, he nodded respectfully, “Mr. Salstrom, you called for me. How can I help?”
“Why don’t you put your expertise in emotional intelligence and criminal psychology to the test?” Herman suggested, sinking into the couch and gesturing for Henry to take a seat. “What do you think is the reason I summoned you here?”
Crossing his arms casually, Henry sat down and replied, “Well, Mr. Salstrom, since you're challenging me, I’ll take a guess. You want my help with the Grannie Anita murder case from a few months back. You have doubts about it, don’t you?”
Flynn’s eyes widened in surprise. He had no idea Herman had suspicions about Grannie Anita’s case. Turning to Herman, he asked, “What’s wrong with Granny’s case? Didn’t Anastasia already confess?”
Ignoring Flynn’s question, Herman looked at Henry with a glint of admiration and said coolly, “Indeed, I have my doubts. Let’s see if you can clear them up for me. Compensation won’t be an issue.”
Henry grinned, “Mr. Salstrom, you’re the wealthiest man in Riverdale. Your connections are worth more than money to me. I don’t need a cash reward. Just offer me a job after I graduate, and we’ll call it even.”
Herman’s index finger tapped idly against the back of his hand, his lips curling slightly in amusement. “Bold move, kid.”
Henry was the first to boldly request a job opportunity from him.
Listening to their cryptic exchange, Flynn felt utterly baffled and a bit envious of their quick thinking.
Henry responded modestly, “You flatter me, Mr. Salstrom.”
Standing up, Herman pulled a stack of photos from a drawer. “These are the crime scene photos from when my grandmother was killed. Take a look and see if you can deduce anything.”
