In Chapter 785 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 785 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.
Jason had finally pieced together the situation and passed the information along to his colleagues at the precinct. Using the department's network, they managed to identify the man Daniel and Audrey had described.
The man was named David Gold, working for a debt collection agency.
Armed with this new information, Jason returned to the precinct, only to find that his colleagues had already brought David Gold in for questioning.
"Jason, do you want to take the lead on the interrogation, or should I?" asked Hank, one of his colleagues.
"I'll watch. You go ahead," Jason replied, opting to step back from the direct confrontation.
"You're really serious about quitting, huh?" Hank remarked, referring to the buzz around the precinct about Jason's impending resignation. No one could quite understand why he'd want to leave such a promising career.
"Let's not get into that right now," Jason said. "Let's concentrate on the interrogation. Isla's been missing for over eleven hours."
"Got it."
Inside the interrogation room, Hank began questioning David, while Jason listened from behind the one-way mirror.
David quickly admitted his connection to Alisa. He was simply a debt collector, hired by a loan company to recover $50,000 that Alisa owed. And that was just one of the loans—there were others she hadn't paid back either.
Hearing this, Jason was taken aback. He hadn't realized Alisa was in so deep. Audrey's earlier comments suddenly made sense.
"I'm just doing my job, collecting debts legally," David explained. "I have nothing to do with any kidnapping. I have no idea what other collectors might be doing, though. She’s been completely uncooperative—won’t pay a dime or even answer calls, so we had no choice but to try and find her at home..."
After the interrogation, Hank walked out of the room and asked Jason, "Looks like he's not involved in anything illegal. Should we let him go?"
