Chapter 85
Anastasia shook her head. She was hungry, but she couldnât stomach anything right now
This time, she pissed off the Ledford family. It was a whole different ball game.
Herman punched Blake, who was a big shot from the Ledford family, the kind of guy who could make her and Herman disappear from Riverdale without breaking a sweat
âHerman, are we screwed?â Anastasia asked anxiously âWhat did you do to Blake?â
1 cut off one of his fingers. Thatâs a slap on the wrist, reallyâ Herman replied nonchalantly
âWeâre screwed.â Anastasia got down from Hermanâs lap and held his hand tightly. âYou should lay low for a while outside of Riverdale. If the Ledford family comes knocking, weâre in deep shit.â
They were just average Joes. How could they stand against the mighty Ledford family?
If the Ledford family called the cops, Herman might end up rotting in jail given Blakeâs injury
Anastasia couldnât hold back her tears as she thought about this. She blamed herself for bringing this onto Herman
Noticing that Anastasia was worried, Herman smiled and said, âDonât worry Iâve got my cousinâ
He tried to reassure Anastasia by mentioning Flynn Salstrom.
Anastasia shook her head. âThis is different from before. Herman. You should leave Riverdale now. It might be too late soon.â
âAnastasia, Iâll get you home safe. Donât worry about me Herman patted Anastasias head. He wanted to get Anastasia home safely before dealing with the Ledford family
But Anastasia was still worried
Trust me. Just go home Herman said with a smile.
Herman was as calm as a cucumber, making Anastasia even more worried.
Whats done is done. She could only brace hersell for what came next
Herman hailed a cab and let Anastasia get in
It was then that Anastasia realized Herman didnât dive
âWhereâs your car? And how did you know I was at Eclipse Lounge? Anastasia asked,
If Herman hadnât shown up, she didnât know what those rich kids would have done to her The consequences could have been dire
âMy car was at the office | came to Eclipse Lounge with a colleague for a client meeting.â Herman didnât lie.
His car was indeed at his office, and he did come to Eclipse Lounge for a client.
Theard some staff at Eclipse Lounge gossiping about some incident on the top floor Out of curiosity, I went up, and there you were.â He made up a story.
Anastasiaâs mind was a whirlwind. She was only concerned about the Ledford family coming after them. She didnât think too much about what Herman said
Soon, they arrived at Harmony Meadows.
Herman got Anastasia home and called Katelyn Salstrom to keep her company so that she wouldnât overthink things.
âAnastasia, you should take a shower firstâ Herman suggested
The thought of Blake touching her made her feel sick. She nodded and went to the bathroom.
Katelyn took the chance to ask Herman, âWhat happened?â
âBlake harassed Anastasia Luckily, I got there in time Herman explained briefly
âWhat? That bastardâ Katelyn was seething. Heâs got some nerve for messing with the Salstrom familyâ
Herman gave a pained look at Anastasiaâs room and told Katelyn, âMom, please stay with Anastasia. I need to handle somethingâ
âOkay, go ahead âKatelyn said angrily. âWe need an explanation from the Ledford family. If they donât give us a satisfactory answer, we wonât let them off the hook. Do they think they can push the Salstrom family around?>â
Katelyn was always a hothead.
Hermanâs eyes turned icy. This time, the Ledford family will pay a much bigger price.â
