Chapter 346

The slap Grannie Anita landed on Herman left everyone in the room stunned. Grannie Anita had always adored Herman, her eldest grandchild. She never uttered a harsh word to him, let alone laying a hand on him.

Feiman asked anxiously, “Mom, what’s going on? Please explain.”

Flynn chimed in, “Granny, you’ve always favored Herman, what’s happened?”

Katelyn kept quiet, even though she felt bad for Herman, she didn’t want to exacerbate the tension between her and Anita.

Herman, his eyebrows furrowed ever so slightly, didn’t show any sign of anger. Instead, he was foreboding something was amiss. He remained silent, only looking at Grannie Anita and calling out, “Granny.”

Grannie Anita had always been soft-hearted, and would oblige anything Herman asked of her. Even when he got into trouble as a kid, one call of “Granny” would cool her down. This time, however, Grannie Anita was still infuriated, “Don’t call me Granny if you don’t divorce that woman. Herman, you really are confused. How could you marry such a woman?”

Upon hearing Grannie Anita belittling Anastasia, Herman’s expression tightened. He declared firmly, “Granny, Anastasia is my chosen life partner. She is my wife.”

Feiman added, “Mom, why are you suddenly dissatisfied with Anastasia? She hasn’t done anything to upset you.” Feiman couldn’t help but recall how he had been pressured by Grannie Anita to divorce Katelyn in the past, just like Herman.

Flynn, too, tried to mediate, “Granny, Herman and Anastasia are married. If you want them to divorce, you need a good reason.”

“You want a reason? Well, I’ll give you one.” Grannie Anita retorted, listing Anastasia’s faults, “That woman comes from a poor background, she’s from a family of street vendors, and didn’t even go to college.”

Feiman interjected, “Mom, none of that matters. The Salstrom family doesn’t choose daughters-in-laws based on their background. Didn’t our family start as street vendors too?”

Grannie Anita shot Feiman a stern look, “That woman can’t have children. Just for that reason alone, she can’t become a part of the Salstrom family. Herman, you can’t be so confused. How could you lie to us all, claiming you’re infertile? This truly breaks my heart.”

The revelation from Grannie Anita shocked Feiman and Flynn. One was stunned that Anastasia was infertile, the other surprised that Grannie Anita knew. Flynn was certain. He hadn’t let it slip to Collin.

Only Herman, his expression remained calm.

Feiman asked Herman in shock, “Is what your granny saying true? Tell me honestly, between the two of you, who can’t have children?”

Herman didn’t answer Feiman. Instead, he turned to Grannie Anita, “Granny, who told you all this? Who’s been gossiping behind our backs?”

“It doesn’t matter. Just tell me, will you divorce that woman? The Salstrom family line cannot end here.” Grannie Anita insisted stubbornly.

The atmosphere in the room instantly turned tense.

Flynn attempted to lighten the mood, “Granny, the Salstrom family still has me. Don’t worry, I’ll give you ten great-grandchildren for you to dote on.”

Flynn’s attempt to defuse the situation fell flat. He scratched his head awkwardly, glancing at Herman. Inwardly, he thought, “Herman, this is all I can do. You’re on your own.”

Herman’s lips tightened slightly. After a moment, he finally said, “I have never planned to divorce Anastasia, and I don’t care whether she can bear children or not. If Granny thinks that I am ruining the Salstrom family, then starting from tomorrow, I will resign as CEO and hand over the company to Flynn.”

The announcement stunned everyone in the room.

Flynn internally rejected the idea. He didn’t want to take over the company. It was too much hassle.

Grannie Anita was even more furious. She stood up and scolded, “Ridiculous.”

Feiman also spoke sternly, “Herman, you’re being ridiculous this time. Resignation is not a matter to be taken lightly. You hiding Anastasia’s infertility from us is even more absurd.”

“Dad.” Herman began, but was interrupted by Monica’s voice from the hallway outside, “Anastasia, where are you going? Anastasia.”

Herman immediately swung the door open, catching a glimpse of Anastasia disappearing around the corner. Without a second thought, he strode off in pursuit of her, leaving Grannie Anita behind.

Grannie Anita was left fuming, “He’s truly bewitched.”
