In Chapter 640 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 640 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.
"Jack, you traitor." Devin, with veins bulging in his neck, hurled a mug at Jack in fury. "If Herman's got it out for me, tell him to come and get me. Right now."
"Calm down, Devin. Why the temper?" Jack dodged the flying mug effortlessly, a smirk playing on his lips. "You were gunning for Elysian Technologies, so you should've known this day might come. Your daughter Julie set up Granny Anita, making her believe the wrong things about your wife's pregnancy. Julie hit two birds with one stone, causing two lives to be lost. Mr. Salstrom going after you is actually a bargain for the Brown family."
Jack was just using scare tactics on Devin.
Devin was the bait; Julie was the real target.
Whether Devin survived didn't matter, but news of his death would definitely hit the headlines by the next morning.
Panicking, Devin pleaded, "Assistant Rob, I need to see Mr. Salstrom. I had no clue about what Julie was up to. It's all a misunderstanding."
"Two lives lost isn't just a misunderstanding." Jack checked the time, unwilling to waste more words on Devin, and signaled the bodyguards to ensure no one entered the hospital room.
Herman owned the hospital, and once Devin was admitted, his fate was out of his hands.
After Jack left, Devin tried to make a desperate escape by removing his IV and attempting to jump out the window, only to realize he was on the eighth floor. The fear of certain death made his legs turn to jelly.
At that moment, a nurse, escorted by a bodyguard, came in with more medication: "Just one more IV, and you should be all set."
Devin, fearing Herman's intentions might involve tampering with his medication to stage a medical accident, refused the treatment, saying, "I don't need any more IVs. I feel better already..."
But it wasn't up to him. Before he could finish, the bodyguards pinned him down while the nurse inserted the IV line into his hand, ensuring he couldn't move.
As the medication flowed into his body, Devin felt a chill in his heart: "It's over. I'm done for."
