    Chapter 299


    Elysian Technologies? It’s a scam ring.


    Anastasia gave Herman a few good whacks. He didn’t fight back and just let her vent. When she was


    done, he clutched her hand and said gently, “Anastasia, I was just scared you couldn’t handle the truth.


    From now on, if I lie to you again, you can do whatever you want with me.”


    Anastasia was really pissed. She thought about how she had dined with his folks, totally clueless about


    everything. While calling them, the whole family was conspiring to lie to her.


    Anastasia red at him angrily, then nced at the onions. Her eyes said it all, cut the onions. Herman


    let out a deliberate sigh and headed towards the onions without a fight.


    “Herman.” Seeing that he was actually going to cut them, Anastasia, who couldn’t bear it, pulled him


    back.


    He took the opportunity to push her onto the nearby couch, saying lowly, “I knew it, you wouldn’t have


    the heart.”


    Knowing she was tricked, Anastasia was both angry and helpless. “Let me go.”


    “No.” Herman held her hand tight. “I won’t let go until you forgive me.


    Anastasia let him pin her down helplessly. She looked up at the ceiling and said, “I was too stupid. I


    should have suspected you. From the house at Harmony Meadows, I should have known…”


    Something urred to her. She pushed Herman a bit and looked at him. “Did Monica know you’re from


    Elysian Technologies? Lauren, Christine, do they know?”


    She finally realized that Monica had seen the CEO of Elysian Technologies at the club. She


    remembered Monica was panicking and asked about her blind date with Herman. That day, Monica


    saw the real face of the person in charge of Elysian Technologies but chose to keep quiet.


    And Selena once imed she was the mistress of the person in charge at Elysian Technologies. And


    Kenny, who brought the still hospitalized ke to apologize to her, was also because of Herman. With


    Herman as their big backer, the Ledford family had to bow down. Cason’sw firm was investigated,


    and the factory went bankrupt.


    Everyone knew, and she was the only one left in the dark.


    Herman nodded. “Yes.”


    Anastasia felt like hitting someone again. She gritted her teeth and said, “Herman, you bastard…”


    Herman leaned in to kiss her lips, the best way to shut a woman up. Sure enough, Anastasia’s anger


    subsided a lot under Herman’s passionate kiss. Herman did lie


    to her, but everything he did for her was real. Anastasia was just having a hard time digesting such big


    news.


    She married a billionaire, the kind of thing that happened in novels, but very difficult in real life. Yet, it


    happened to her.


    Seeing that her anger had subsided, he propped himself up, staring at her with deep affection and


    doting. “Anastasia, you’re not going to leave me, are you?”


    There was a hint of unease in his tone. The person in charge of Elysian Technologies was a revered


    figure in the business world, with few things that could make him frown. But in front of her, he seemed


    uneasy. He was afraid of losing her.


    Anastasia looked at Herman in front of her, her heart filled with pity. She teased, “Do you take me for a


    fool? I happened to find a billionaire, and I would let you go easily? What pisses me off is, why didn’t


    you tell me earlier. You want to live in a three-bedroom apartment, but I want to live in a mansion. You


    want to drive a Chevy, and I want to ride in luxury cars. If I had known you were so capable, I wouldn’t


    have been so worried when I ran into the Ledford family and Cason.”


    Hermanughed. He liked Anastasia’s straightforwardness.


    Anastasia red at him, and pushed him away, but stayed on the couch, unwilling to get up. “Herman, I


    just want to stop trying. Even if you abandon me one day, a few billion in alimony would get me by.”

    Herman looked at her tenderly. “No ambition. Your husband is a billionaire, and you’re satisfied with just


    a few billion?” Anastasia responded casually, “Forget about a few billion, just give me a billion to


    splurge on. Don’t just talk the talk.”


    Herman said seriously, “Okay, I’ll give you a few billion right now.”


    With that, Herman picked her up and headed for the bed.


    The “few billion” here was not the usual “few billion.” Anastasia was helpless, “Herman, you’re such a


    jerk… Mmm…”
