Chapter 149

Herman was a big shot with a fat bank account. Erasing someone from his life was easy as pie.

Cason’s face darkened. “Mr. Salstrom, you gotta believe me. Once I get the dough, I’m outta here”

Seeing Herman agree to his terms without hesitation, Cason began to kick himself for not asking for

more. He gave Herman his bank account details. If he could get ten million dollars, he could pay off his

eight million dollars in debt and have enough left to start fresh overseas.

Without missing a beat, Herman transferred the money from his personal account. Cason got the bank

alert and excitedly checked his account balance. Ten million. His family’s entire wealth didn’t even add

up to this much.

For Herman to casually transfer ten million dollars, it meant this was just pocket change to him and not

his life savings. Cason suddenly realized that Herman’s fortune must’ve been much bigger than what

was known to the public.

Thanks, Mr. Salstrom With the money in his hands, Cason patted the documents on the table,

laughing. “These are all yours now. But I’m curious, Mr. Salstrom, what are you gonna do about

Anastasia?”

“That’s between me and my wife. None of your business.” Herman nonchalantly twirled his lighter and

said evasively, “You won’t be around to see what happens between Anastasia and me.”

“What do you mean? Cason’s alarm bells started ringing

Herman chuckled “I wonder how you even got your lawyer’s license. You know the law, and yet you

break it. Your extortion amourt is ten million dollars. You do realize that’s enough to put you in jail for

years, right?”

Cason’s face turned pale. “Herman, are you trying to frame me? Aren’t you afraid I’ll expose

Anastasia’s dirty secrets?”

“You’re such a dummy.” Herman locked icy cold, pulling out a recorder from his drawer. The recording

was of Cason’s extortion attempt.

This was undeniable proof.

Herman stood up, his long fingers resting on the desk, his icy gaze on Cason. “No one dares to

threaten me. What makes you think you’re any different? Setting you free is like releasing a ticking time

bomb. Do you really think fil let you go?”

Cason started to panic. With the extortion amount being ten million dollars, he could spend the rest of

his life behind bars Only now did it dawn on Cason why Herman agreed to his terms so readily and

transferred the money immediately. The bank transfer and recording were irrefutable evidence.

“Herman, you’re a dirty rat You’re ruthless, Cason last control and began cursing loudly

But after his outburst, realizing the consequences, he changed his tune and appealed to Herman Write

me a donation agreement now, stating you voluntarily gave me the money. Hurry up, or I’ll leak

Anastasia’s dirty secrets online. I’ve got plenty of backups. If I don’t make it home today, someone will

post them all.”

If there was a donation agreement, it wouldn’t count as extortion. Even at this point, Cason didnt

Herman looked at Cason as if he was watching a clown perform, then chuckled ‘Stupid and greedy.

You’re a lost cause. Did you really think I had you waiting here for hours doing nothing? Your private

detective has spilled the beans He’s smarter than you. As for your backups, I’ve had someone hack

your computer and delete them all.”

Each word from Herman turned Cason even paler.

Herman glared at Cason coldly Still want to cross me?”

Just as he finished speaking, Nelson knocked and came in “Mr. Salstrom, the cops are downstairs.”

Hearing that the police were here, Cason panicked and begged, “Mr. Salstrom, I was wrong. I’ll return

the money.”

Cason, shaking, tried to transfer the money back to Herman’s phone, but it was too late. Herman

ignored him, tossed the recorder to Nelson, and said casually. “Get a couple of guys in here to take out

the trash,”

In Herman’s eyes, Cason was just garbage.

“Got it, Mr. Salstrom.” Nelson signaled the company’s security to carry Cason out of the office and turn

him over to the police, then went along to the police station to deal with it.
