Chapter 219
Kitty looked like she was about to burst into tears, totally upset, âMr. Salstrom, arenât you gonna take responsibility for me? Iâve given myself to you. If you wonât take responsibility, I might as well die.â
Was she threatening him with her life? Well, that was interesting.
Herman got up, walked over to the French windows, and opened one, âMs. Kitty, if you jump from here, youâll definitely die. It would fulfill your wish.â
This was a skyscraper, jumping from here would definitely mean death.
Kitty suddenly trembled. She didnât really want to die. She was so young, why would she want to die?
Seeing Herman so cold, Kitty suddenly knelt on the ground and burst into tears, âMr. Salstrom, you canât be so cruel to me. I am your woman, and weâve been together. As a man, you should take responsibility and marry me.â
Hermanâs eyes were dark. He unconsciously tapped on the window with his index finger, saying, âMs. Kitty, you have a crush on me, but
If I need evidence to prove that your feelings for me are real. Jump from here. If you survive, even if youâre disabled, Iâll marry you. you die, Iâll bury you in the Salstrom family graveyard.â
Kittyâs face turned extremely pale. She wanted to be alive as Hermanâs wife, not a dead woman. Thinking of that personâs instructions, Kitty wiped away her tears, mustered up her courage, and said, âMr. Salstrom, Iâm willing to do anything for you.â
With that, Kitty stood up, trembling, and walked towards the window. She took a look down, her legs went weak, and she instinctively. took two steps back.
Herman grabbed her hand, pulled her back, and forced her to jump, âLetâs see how determined you are to be my wife. Itâs not that easy to get the position.â
Fear filled Kittyâs eyes. She hunched her shoulders and closed her eyes, not daring to look down.
Herman chuckled coldly, âYouâre so timid? And you dare to lie to me in my face? Tell me, who sent you?â
He pushed Kitty away, and she sat on the floor, scared out of her wits. That person hadnât told her Herman was so terrifying. Kitty wouldnât stop crying.
Flynn watched from outside. The soundproof glass was effective, and he couldnât hear the conversation inside. But when he saw Kitty trembling with fear, he sighed. She was asking for trouble.
Why did she have to mess with Herman?
âMr. Salstrom, I didnât lie to you. Five years ago, you and I were together. You have a mole on your buttocks, I remember.â As Kitty cried, she continued, âYou were so strong that night, it hurt me. I was terrified, so I didnât dare to expose what happened between us. All these years, Iâve been wanting to see you again.â
Hearing Kitty mention such intimate details, Hermanâs expression became serious. Such private details were only known by his mother
and his wife.
Kitty started describing that wild night. She detailed the whole process, even including what Herman said, and how he undressed step by step.
Herman didnât have much memory left, he almost couldnât recall that night, so he couldnât confirm Kittyâs words.
Kitty cried with desperation, âMr. Salstrom, you promised to marry me. You said youâd be responsible for me. But after that night, you disappeared.â
Hermanâs brows furrowed, his face dark.
He looked down at Kitty, his voice cold, âIâll give you half a million. Leave Riverdale,and disappear from my sight. Letâs call it quits for what happened five years ago.â
Herman signed a check and threw it on the ground, âAny bank will cash it, now get out of my sight.â
Kitty stared blankly at Herman, the half-million check thrown on the ground seemed like it fell from the sky. She had never seen so much money in her life.
Half a million compared to the countless wealth Herman had, any smart person would know what to choose.
Just that, even with money, life wasnât guaranteed.
