Chapter 240
Getting down to business, Flynn said solemnly, âDude, youâre in some deep shit this time. This Kitty chick, sheâs a handful. The women in her family, once they decide to be with a guy, theyâre like superglue.â
Herman frowned, âWhat about the money I gave her last time? She didnât take it?â
âNope, she told me to give it back to you,â Flynn replied. âSheâs rented a place now. Dude, you canât let her extort you like this. Maybe we should just deny everything and then accuse her of defamation.â
It had been five years since the incident, the surveillance footage from Neon Dreams was long gone. Furthermore, with Kittyâs testimony, it was really impossible to determine what actually happened that night.
As Flynn was advising Herman, his phone rang. It was his mom, Katelyn. Herman answered the call, âWhatâs up, mom?â
âSon, you better get home now. Thereâs a woman here claiming she had a thing with you. She called my name as soon as she saw me and said she wants to be my daughter-in-law. What the hell is going on?â
Hearing this, Hermanâs face turned gloomy, âIâll be right there.â
After hanging up, Herman put on his coat. Flynn asked, âWhatâs up, dude?â
âKitty showed up at our house.â
âThis chick, she just wonât quit,â Flynn remarked. âShe actually showed up at our house, ballsy.â
The Salstrom Manor of the Salstrom family.
Katelyn looked at the woman in front of her, her irritation growing. A woman showing up out of the blue and claiming to be her daughter-in-law, it was quite a shock.
âDonât get mad, letâs see what Herman has to say when he gets back,â Julie gently comforted Katelyn.
The Salstroms and the Browns were good friends and lived close by. Julie often came over to keep Katelyn company and had left a good impression. Initially, drawn to Julieâs kindness and gentleness, Katelyn wanted to set her up with Herman. But Herman never showed up for any of the arranged dates and was either politely distant or completely ignored Julie when at home.
Katelyn used to regret not being able to match the two of them. After Herman married Anastasia and she became Katelynâs daughter-in-law, Katelyn had long put the idea of Julie being her daughter-in-law out of mind.
Katelyn clutched her chest, exasperatedly saying, âThis is such a headache.â
âI think this woman is trying to trap Hermanâ¦â Julie tried to soothe.
âIâm not lying,â Kitty retorted, her eyes gleaming with determination. âI did sleep with your son. I remember clearly, Mr. Salstrom has a mole on his butt.â
Katelyn was mortified and covered her face, âMs. Kitty, Iâm not your mother-in-law and my son is married. Itâs really inappropriate for you to say these things.â
âMr. Salstrom is married?â Kitty looked upset upon hearing this. She said anxiously, âThatâs not possible. He has to marry me. We slept together and he needs to take responsibility.â
In this tense atmosphere, Julie tried to mediate, âMs. Kitty, donât get too worked up. Letâs wait for Herman to get back.â
Unable to communicate effectively with Kitty, Katelyn also decided to wait for Herman to resolve this issue.
About half an hour later, Herman returned with Flynn. Upon seeing Herman, Julie couldnât hide the joy on her face, âMr. Salstromâ¦â
Herman didnât seem to notice her. He walked into the hall with a determined stride, his eyes landing on Kitty.
Kittyâs face lit up with happiness, âMr. Salstrom, youâre finally back.
