Chapter 100
Herman looked a bit chilly, furrowing his brows at the sight of Collin Witt entering the room,
“Why are you here?” Herman asked, his voice deep.
“Just passing by and thought Id see what you’re up to. Haven’t seen you about recently,” said Collin
nonchalantly. He let Herman’s secretary pour him a coffee, then made himself comfortable on the sofa.
“Heard you gave Blake a beating yesterday? You haven’t thrown a punch in years, quite strange”
“Just flexing my muscles a bit, Herman smirked. Just because i havent thrown any punches in years
doesnt mean I ve forgotten how to fight”
What could possibly make you use your fists? Heard it was over a girl?” Collin asked curiously
Herman corrected him casually “She’s my wife”
“Wife?” Collin choked on his coffee, coughing uncontrollably. “Herman, are you joking? When did you
get married?”
Herman pulled out a marriage certificate from his drawer and placed it on the table. “Last month.”

He saw a photo of Herman with a very beautiful woman. The document was definitely real, no doubt
about it
“Herman you got mamed and didn’t even invite me for a drink Collin exclaimed. Thats heartless”
invite you when we have the wedding said Herman stowing away the certificate like a precious gem,
locking it back in the drawer
Collin pinched himself; it hurt, so he wasn’t dreaming
“I thought at most youd be dating someone, didn’t think youd go and get married,” said Collin. “Tonight
you must bring your wife to meet me You’ve kept this a big secret.”
“Not tonight, Herman said “We can catch up later”
With the Ledford family matters unresolved and Anastasia now fired, he wasn’t in the mood to
introduce her to Collin tonight
“Because of the Ledford family thing?” Collin asked, sitting down. “You’ve cost Ledford Corporation
billions. Kenny must be crying”
“He should be,” Herman replied, his voice steady, his index finger tapping against the table “The crisis
at Ledford Corporation is snowballing. It’s only going to get worse”
“Are you going to completely destroy them?” Collin asked, a hint of fear in his voice.
I’ve given them a chance to survive, Herman smirked Kenny will probably have to sell Ledford Estate
Management to keep his head above water.” Collin said, “The market opened this morning with Ledford
Corporation’s stocks nosediving, Selling it now wouldn’t do much good”
-“He has no other choice, Herman said casually, sipping his coffee. “Ledford Estate Management is the
only valuable asset left. Ledford Corporations
debt to the bank has to be cleared this year
Collin watched Herman in thought for a moment, then voiced his suspicion, Something seems off. Did
you have your eye on Ledford Estate Management from the start?”
“Yes,” replied Herman calmly.

Collin fell silent
“Having lost billions to you and now with the possibility of you buying Ledford Estate Management for a
song, Kenny might just faint,” Colith teased. “You’ve had a good run in both love and business. Your
wife must be your lucky charm.”
Hermanremained silent, memories of the lovely morning with Anastasia flashing in his mind. He
yearned to be a king with nothing to do, living a leisurely life with his queen.
Collin seemed to remember something and laughed, Herman, do you remember the night I left for
abroad a few years ago? We all went to the club for a drink to send me off”
“I vaguely remember Herman said
Collin said, “That night, we planned to get you drunk and have you do something silly, but in the end,
we lost you. We thought you had some sort of allness. By the time we found you, your clothes were
gone. Twe held onto this memory for years, just to ask you, did you meet a hot chick that night?”
Herman frowned, it was a few years ago, and his memory was fuzzy.
He was indeed drunk that night and had almost no memory of it, only that he had been having an
ambiguous dream since.
“I was drunk. I don’t remember,” said Herman seriously.
1 bet you met a hot chick, Collin said provocatively. “I saw the scratch marks on your neck. Definitely
left by a woman.”
