Chapter 324
Tavon and Ashley were in the middle of a divorce, and neither of them could spare the time for their daughter Sandy, who was in the hospital. They didn’t even know that Sandy’s brother, Sean, was donating bone marrow for her. Sean couldn’t bear to stand by while his sister was in danger. They were only a year apart in age and grew up together, their bond was deep.
The Morton family was a mess. Anastasia, who was at her hotel, naturally saw the latest updates on social media. She was taken by surprise by Tavon’s actions.
“Do you think Tavon’s lost his mind?” Anastasia asked Herman, who was sitting across from her.
After returning to the hotel, Herman and his group planned to return to Riverdale by evening.
Herman glanced at the trending topics, lightly tapping his fingers on the table, deep in thought. “Something’s not right here,” he mused.
“Tavon’s business ties with the Stanton family are intricate. If they have a fallout, the losses would be considerable. Tavon must know this, so why would he willingly take such a hit by divorcing Ashley?” Anastasia was puzzled, refusing to believe that Tavon had genuinely repented.
“A businessman always follows the profit,” Herman said calmly. “Tavon has chosen to abandon the Stanton family and align with your mother. He must see some significant gain in her.”
Anastasia asked, “What could my mother possibly offer? She’s penniless and has no background. She can’t help the Morton family’s business, and I don’t have any substantial assets either, except you.”
Suddenly, Anastasia looked at Herman in surprise. “Did Tavon find out that you’re the CEO of Elysian Technologies?” The most significant asset she and her mother had was Herman.

Anastasia felt a headache coming on. “I told my mother, but did she let it slip? It doesn’t make sense. She hasn’t been in touch with Tavon since she returned. Where went wrong?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs Anastasia talked to herself, her gaze suddenly fell on Herman. “I haven’t seen Tavon today,” Herman said.
At the clubhouse entrance earlier, Herman hadn’t noticed Tavon.
“Let’s drop it. It’s not important. I think we should head back to Riverdale now. If we wait any longer, Tavon will come to the hotel, and I’m afraid my mother might give in again.”
Anastasia was shocked by the trending news, not to mention Salma. Her mother didn’t use her phone much, so she probably didn’t know what was going on online. Now was the perfect time to leave. Tavon wanted to divorce and marry Salma. Such a bold move would be hard for any woman to resist.
Herman smiled. “Didn’t you say you wanted a third of the Morton family fortune? Now that Tavon has named you his heir, do you not want it anymore?”
Anastasia shook her head quickly. “I wouldn’t dare. I fear it’s a trap. Who knows what’s inside? Given Tavon’s character, I don’t trust him. He abandoned my mother to marry Ashley, and now he wants to divorce Ashley to marry my mother. Tavon is selfish and always considers his own interests.”
.
Herman pulled Anastasia onto his lap. Anastasia wasn’t tempted by the Morton family’s billions. Instead, she saw it as a hot potato, which impressed Herman.
He stroked her hand with his thumb, his voice husky in her ear. “Honey, how about I teach you how to do business?”

The hot breath tickled her neck, raising goosebumps on her skin and making her body go soft.
“Can’t you just talk without flirting?” Anastasia complained, touching her ear. “If you’re willing to teach, I’m eager to learn.” She also wanted to become someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Herman.
He promised, “I’ll share everything I know with you,”
“I should check on my mom and see if she’s ready. I want to go back and see Pattie!” Anastasia was eager to return home.
Herman chuckled. “Alright, I’ll let you go for now. I’ll take care of you when we get back.”
Anastasia glanced at Herman’s lower body and huffed. “One day, you’ll be afraid of me. As they say, only the ox gets tired, not the field.”
Herman laughed. “I’m always ready for your ‘torture, my wife.”
Anastasia was wise. They had barely left the hotel when Tavon arrived. It was perfect timing.
Tavon called Salma, but she had already blocked his number. Having decided to leave Willowbrook, Salma naturally broke off her relationship with Tavon. Tavon was in a panic. He had just offended the Stanton family, and now Salma and Anastasia had left him. Hadn’t he just wasted his effort? But Tavon wasn’t one to give up easily. Now that he had chosen to let go of the Stanton family, he had to hold on to Salma.
The annual celebration of Elysian Technologies was a golden opportunity. Tavon had already planned to go to Riverdale to win Salma back.
In Riverdale.
Herman brought Anastasia and Salma back to Salstrom Manor. Katelyn had already heard the news and was preparing dinner with the housekeepers. Pattie was in the living room playing with Feiman.
Salstrom Manor was spacious, and Feiman adored Pattie. He had even built a children’s playground for her in the backyard.
Pattie was a sweet talker, always calling him grandpa, which made Feiman dote on her even more. He was ready to fulfill any of her requests.
With Pattie around, there was more warmth and laughter in the house. As they got older, all they wished for was to have their grandkids around, sharing sweet moments and creating beautiful memories.
Katelyn walked over with a plate of sliced fruit. “Pattie, come and have some fruit.”
Pattie replied sweetly, “Sure, Grandma.”
Now that Anastasia knew, Katelyn simply had Pattie call her grandma.
Recently, Katelyn had been spending a lot of time with Pattie and their bond had grown stronger.
Pattie picked up two pieces of watermelon, and offered one to Feiman: “Grandpa, have some.”
Feiman couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear. “Good girl, Pattie. You should eat more, I don’t need it.”
Pattie obediently ate her piece and then continued playing with her building blocks.

Pattie was growing prettier by the day, a far cry from the thin, pale girl she once was. Now, she was like a little princess.
Feiman, watching Pattie play with her blocks, chuckled. “I agree. Every time she calls me grandpa, it warms my heart.”
“If only Herman could have children. If he could, he and Ana would probably have a child by now,” Katelyn sighed, thinking about her wish to hold a grandchild
Feiman sighed at the thought. “We should consult a doctor about Herman. He’s still young. There must be a way.”
“Alright.” Katelyn agreed. “I’ll ask the doctor.”
Just then, they heard Flynn’s voice from outside. “Mom, Dad, we’re back.”
Upon hearing that Flynn and the others had returned, Katelyn excitedly went outside.
Katelyn was a perfect hostess. During her first visit to the Salstrom family, Salma felt a bit reserved, so Katelyn proactively took on a warm and hospitable role.
Salma was in awe of the luxurious mansion. She had heard from Anastasia that her son-in-law’s family was wealthy, but she had no idea just how.
Pattie, hearing the voices, ran out excitedly. “Mommy, Daddy.” She had missed her parents over the past few days.
Anastasia lifted her up with joy. “Pattie, it feels like you’ve grown taller in just a few days.”
Feiman also came over, happy to see everyone back. “You must all be hungry. Let’s go inside for dinner.”
The Salstrom house hadn’t been this lively in a long time.
