Chapter 225
Ashley would never let Tavon give a penny to Anastasia and her mom. All the money must be left to
her own children.
Tavon said, “I’m well aware. Anastasia doesn’t have much affection for me as a father. I don’t expect
her to do anything for this family. I just hope she can save Sandy. I’ll give her some money then, and
that’s the best I can do.”
“You’re giving them too much no matter how much it is. She’s your daughter, and you have the right to
ask her to donate bone marrow to Sandy,” Ashley said sarcastically. “You gave them money last time. If
you give them money again, I’ll be very angry. You better watch
out.”
This was a typical case of wanting to get Anastasia’s bone marrow without paying the corresponding
price.
“I won’t give her any more money. I’ll listen to you.” Tavon was a bit fed up with Ashley’s nagging. He
just wanted to end the topic. “There’s a lot to deal with in the vineyard every day. I need to call my
secretary now to arrange some work.”
Night fell.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was seven o’clock when Anastasia left the hospital. She stood at the hospital gate and called
Herman.
Soon, the call was answered. Anastasia heard some noise on the other end of the phone, but it soon
quieted down. She asked, “Are you busy?”
“Yes, I’m out seeing clients today.” Herman walked to a quiet place, checked the time, and said, “I’ll be
home by ten o’clock tonight.” Anastasia didn’t want to go home alone, so she asked, “Where are you?”
Herman chuckled on the phone and joked, “Darling, is this your way of testing my loyalty?”
Anastasia laughed. “I miss you. Where are you? I’ll take a cab over, and we can go home together.”
She had made up her mind, and Anastasia knew her marriage with Herman would not last long, so she
wanted to cherish every moment.
“It’s an honor to have you pick me up from work.” Herman’s mellow voice came. “I’ll send you the
address. Let me know when you get here.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Anastasia received the address from Herman and took a cab there.
The place where Herman was entertaining people was Neon Dreams, next to the previous Éclipse
Lounge. A few years ago, Herman was drugged by Collin and others in this club, and his memory
became blurred afterward.
When Anastasia arrived at the entrance of Neon Dreams and saw the sign at the door, a sense of
familiarity came over her. She felt as if she had been here before, although it was her first time. She
stood at the entrance in a daze but couldn’t remember when she had been here. She couldn’t afford to
spend time at such an upscale place. Maybe she had seen similar places on the internet or TV shows,
and that’s why she felt familiar.
Anastasia didn’t think too much about it. She walked in, and the lobby manager immediately came up
to greet her enthusiastically. “Ma’am, do you have a reservation, or would you like me to arrange
something for you?”
Anastasia smiled and waved her hand. “No need, I’ll just sit in the lobby. I’m waiting for someone.”
The lobby manager nodded. “Alright, this way, please.”
Even if you didn’t spend money here, as long as you walked through the door, you would be treated as
a VIP guest and wouldn’t face any discrimination. That was quality service.
Anastasia sat in the lobby’s resting area, and the lobby manager immediately had lemon water brought
over.
Anastasia quickly said, “Thank you, you guys are really hospitable.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm*Please enjoy.”
Anastasia asked, “How much is this lemon water? I’ll pay for it.”
“This is complimentary, no need to pay.”
Anastasia immediately sighed, the service at upscale places really was different from ordinary places.
They truly made guests feel at home.
Anastasia sent a message to Herman. [I’m here. Don’t worry about me waiting. Finish your stuff first.]
Herman, who was in the VIP box, saw the message and smiled involuntarily. He replied. [Okay.]
Then he said to the bank’s president sitting across from him, “My wife is here. We may need to speed
things up.”
The president laughed. “I’ve heard that you’re very devoted to your wife and spoil her a lot. I heard you
recently stayed at the hospital to take care of her, which is really admirable. I’ve only heard your wife’s
name, but I haven’t seen her yet. I’m really curious, Mr. Salstrom,
wouldn’t you introduce us?”
Herman raised his glass. “I’ll invite you to my house in the future if there’s a chance.”
Anastasia had been feeling down these past few days, and Herman didn’t want to put pressure on her
by having her deal with these
business activities.
“Alright, it seems you treasure your wife very much. I guess your wife must be a beauty,” the president
said with a smile. “Cheers.”
