Chapter 148

Looking all fancy and indifferent, Herman strutted towards Cason. Each step made Cason’s nerves

jangle

Herman smirked slightly, ordering the two behind him, “You guys, scram

His secretary and Nelson got the drift, murmured in acknowledgment, and left, shutting the door behind

them.

Herman walked past Cason, flopped down on a leather couch, lit a cigarette, and took a drag with an

elegant yet slightly rogue gesture.

His gaze was razor-sharp as he stared at Cason, his voice icy “Spill the beans”

Cason had initially planned to play mind games with Herman but he didn’t dare now. Any more tricks

and Herman might just kick him out without batting

an eye.

Cason was here for one thing – money. If he kept dodging his debts, his creditors wouldn’t be so

forgiving if they came knocking, at best he’d get a beating, at worst, it could cost him his life

Cason wheeled his chair closer, separated by a table, he said, “Mr. Salstrom, I bet you didn’t know that

Anastasia had a kid, did you? She had one back in college, which was why she dropped out”

Cason knew the real reason why Anastasia had a child and about her memory loss but he wasnt about

to spill it all.

Regardless, Anastasia having a child was a fact he wasn’t lying about. Whether Anastasia was

manipulated or it was her own doing, it didn’t matter anymore. All he wanted was to irk Herman and get

his money.

Herman, poker-faced, asked, “Got any proof?”

“Mr. Salstrom, take a look” Cason presented the evidence. “These are Anastasia’s prenatal checkup

records from the hospital. The child was born four years ago, so it should be over four years old now.

Mr. Salstrom, I’m just like you, a man deceived by Anastasia. I don’t want you to be fooled again”

Herman looked at the documents nonchalantly. He had already found out about the private detective

Cason had hired. Moreover, he had already gotten wind about Anastasia’s child and even knew more

about her depression

Herman tossed the documents on the table. His face was expressionless as he looked at Cason “How

much do you want?”

Cason was taken aback by Herman’s nonchalance

“Mr. Salstrom, Anastasia deceived you, aren’t you pissed?” Cason couldn’t figure out Herman, he said,

“Such a loose woman is not fit to be the wife of the CEO of Elysian Technologies. Mr. Salstrom, now

you know, Anastasia carried another man’s child”

Cason deliberately kept bringing up this issue, trying to provoke Herman.

But Herman remained unruffled Flicking his cigarette ash nonchalantly, he said, “Anastasia sure was

unlucky to cross paths with you. Okay, spit it out. How much to shut you up? You’re here for the money,

right? Don’t waste my time”

“Mr. Salstrom, you’re so generous, so forgiving, you can even tolerate this. I’m quite impressed. Cason

sneered and raised a finger. “This price. I believe, Mr. Salstrom, you won’t be stingy. After all, this is

nothing compared to your reputation”

“Ten million?” Herman sneered

Cason smiled “Mr. Salstrom, ten million is chump change for you, isn’t it? As long as the money is

night, I promise to keep it under wraps, and won’t leak a word”

“You’re not cheap” Herman took a drag on his cigarette, appearing to mull over Cason’s terms

Cason, worried that Herman might refuse, added, “Mr. Salstrom, ten million to protect your name and

honor, I believe it’s totally worth it, if Anastasia’s scandal gets out, it won’t do anyone any good.”

Herman chuckled “Fine, deal. Give me your bank info, Ill wire you the money right now. Ten million,

Once you get the money, you must leave Riverdale. if this gets leaked, I’ll find another way to ensure

your silence.”

Another way to ensure his silence that meant to silence Cason permanently. After all, it was true, only

dead men tell no tales.
