Chapter 54
In Anastasiaâs memory, Herman had always been a humble and polite guy. She had never seen him this mad, let alone throwing punches.
The second Herman threw a punch, Anastasiaâs heart was about to jump out of her chest. The feeling of being protected felt really good.
At this moment, Herman radiated a manly power and charm.
Cason staggered to his feet, touched the blood at the corner of his mouth, and spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with teeth.
Getting punched in public, especially in front of Anastasio, was a massive blow to Casonâs ego. He was livid.
Cason gritted his teeth and sneered at Herman, âYou hit me, and thereâs proof. Wait for your court summons. Iâll make sure you canât stay in Riverdale.â
Cason was a lawyer if he really wanted to sue Herman, it would definitely be a real pain in the ass.
Anastasia couldnt help but worry for Herman. For ordinary folks like them, getting tangled up in legal disputes was their worst nightmare Considering that Cason himself was a lawyer, they might end up on the losing end.
Anastasia got mad too. âCason, how could you be such a low-life?â
Herman chuckled, his presence dominating, his eyes filled with deadly intent.
He stepped closer to Cason, who instinctively stepped back, but Herman still grabbed him by the collar.
âYouâre such a disgrace to men Herman grabbed Casonâs collar, pushed him hard and pinned him against Casonâs parked luxury car.
Herman looked coldly at the expensive car Cason struggled but Herman had him pinned down on the car. He couldnât move at all.
âIs this your idea of being a real man? Rented cars and mansions? I didnât want to get physical, but youâre just so pathetic. People like you belong in the trashâ
Herman exposed Casonâs hypocrisy Cason felt exposed and publicly humiliated.
He felt ashamed, mad, and hatred started to grow inside him.
Being the proud person he was, how could Cason endure such humiliation?
How did Herman know about his rented car and mansion?
Casonâs eyes were bloodshot, his hands tried to pull Herman off, âYouâre just a working-class Joe who will never move up. Cross me and youâll end up behind bars. But if you beg for mercy now, you might still have a chanceâ¦
Herman punched Cason again, harder than before
âHermanâ Anastasia was anxious. She wasnât worried about Cason, but scared that Herman would face retaliation.
Herman glanced at Anastasia, dragged Cason and threw him into the nearby trash can, âThis is where you belong. Bring whatever revenge you got. No matter what Anastasia was before, sheâs my wife now. Anyone who dares slander her. I wonât let it slide
After saying this, Herman walked towards Anastasia, took her hand, and walked past Cason towards the cinema.
After being thrown into the trash, Cason was boiling with rage. He crawled out of the trash can, noticed the surveillance camera at the entrance of the bar, and a cruel light flashed in his eyes.
He decided to get Herman arrested, to make him pay, even to make him unable to live in Riverdale anymore, to make Herman regret his actions today. Cason wasnât part of the upper class society. The last time he saw Herman, he was driving a cheap old car, and Cason had no idea that Herman was someone he shouldnât mess with.
Herman didnât give a damn about him. He took Anastasia to the cinema and bought popcorn and drinks.
âWe made it just in time, didnât miss anything.â Herman handed Anastasia the popcorn, âDo you like popcorn?â
Seeing Hermanâs nonchalant attitude, Anastasia was really anxious, âYou hit Cason. Heâs a lawyer. If he sues you, will you go to jail? Itâs all
my faultâ Seeing her so worried, Herman laughed, tousled her hair, âDonât worry, every country has its laws. Cason was harassing you first, and I, as your husband, stepped in to protect you. Thatâs called self-defenceâ
âBut itâs not that simple, we dont understand the law, Cason is a lawyer. If he gets a medical examination and sues us, weâll definitely lose. If you get involved in a lawsuit, it will affect your future Responded Salma with a worried look.
