Anastasia had a nerve-wracking night, but now that the Ledford family had let things go, she was naturally feeling better.
So, she was quietly enjoying herself on the side of the road.
Herman, even on the phone, could feel Anastasia''s joy
He chuckled, "The folks from the Ledford family should be even more relieved than you"
"Why?" Anastasia asked curiously. "It''s weird. ke got his ass handed to him, and the Ledford family didn''te after me. Instead, they apologized and gave me a bunch of jewelry"
Herman asked over the phone, "Did you ept it?"
1 didn''t dare." Anastasia said. "Such valuable stuff! Who knows if the Ledford family is setting a trap. What if they use me of ckmail? Then they''d be using you of assault and me of extortion. We''d both be screwed."
Hermanughed, his tone bing a lot softer. "I really don''t know how your mind works. How did you think of that?"
Anastasia said, "Right? Good thing I saw iting. Otherwise, I''d have been tricked by the Ledford family."
Herman praised her, "My woman was the smartest one out there."
This sweet atmosphere was making Collin ufortable.
He quietly rolled up his sleeves to look at his goosebumps
This was too cringe.
Herman gave Collin a cold stare, hinting that he should stop bothering them
"Naturally," Anastasia said smugly "ke is a jerk, but luckily, Kenny is reasonable. Otherwise, it would''ve been a disaster,"
Hearing the sound of a car on the other end of the phone, Herman asked, "Where are you?"
Tm by the road, about to head home, Anastasia wanted to tell Herman about being fired, but she didn''t know how to bring it up. She decided to wait until Herman came home that night
"Be careful. Dont answer calls on the road"
"Okay, I got it. Anastasia asked, "Will youe home for dinner?"
"I have something tonight. I will be backte. If you''re bored, you can go have dinner with Ms. Katelyn Herman suggested "Let Ms. Katelyn take you out." "Okay, I won''t bother you then," Anastasia didn''t want to disturb Herman''s work, so she didn''t say much more. She sat for a while, checked her phone, and only then learned about the financial storm at Ledford Corporation.
How sudden?
Ledford Corporation''s market value had shrunk by billions of dors.
Anastasia couldn''t even imagine
Really, in the world of the rich, even a small loss was a lot, and she had to think twice even about buying a slightly expensive piece of clothing.
After reading the news about the Ledford family Anastasia got up, went home to put her things away, and then went to find Salma. As for Katelyn, she was too shy to bother her.
After hanging up the phone, Collin could finally talk.
"It sounds like the Ledford family asked her forgiveness and offeredpensation, but she refused. If she epted the Ledford family''spensation, that would be a sign of respect for the Ledford family. It''s a bit strange to me" Collin was a bit puzzled. There was a difference between not epting and daring not to ept
Why would she, as Hermans wife, say that the Ledford family might take legal action?
Herman calmly said, "She doesn''t know that I''m the man in charge of Elysian Technologies. She thinks I''m just a regr employee, so don''t just bber." Collin was speechless.
*is pretending to be poor in fashion now? Are you experiencing the life of an ordinary person?"
"It''s a coincidence. It''s a long story," Herman said "You get off first; I have something to do, so I can''t apany you."
Sure enough, Herman had Collin get off at the next intersection.
Collin mumbled and then took out his phone to call his driver to pick him up.
For Anastasia, the matter with the Ledford family was over, but Herman didn''t n to let the Ledford family off so easily.
Since Anastasia wouldn''t eptpensation, he wanted to make the Ledford family pay more.
Meanwhile, Monica had alsoe to the hospital to find Cason, trying to probe for more secrets about Anastasia to see how much Cason really knew.
