Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon)

But it was too late.

Janice was the true mastermind all along. If not for her, would Heidi have ended up in such a miserable state? Heidi dug her nails into the floor, seething with hatred.

Louis noticed her subtle gestures but dismissed them without a second thought. This foolish woman was likely useless. Then again, perhaps her stupidity could serve a purpose.

As he passed by the kitchen, he casually tossed the shabby piece Heidi had crocheted to a maid.

"Use it as a rag."

A rag?

The maid caught the fabric, turning it over in her hands.

Clearly, Louis had never done a day of housework in his life. The material didn't absorb water, nor did it have any grip. It was far too smooth to be useful as a rag. After a moment of consideration, the housekeeper simply tossed it into the trash.

Downstairs, Louis cast a glance at Simon. He stood motionless in the living room, looking utterly dazed.

Shattered fragments littered the floor-pieces worth a fortune. Considering how Zedrick treated his belongings like priceless treasures, there was no way he'd let Simon off the hook.

Paying no mind to the wreckage, Louis strode straight to the study. Santiago followed closely behind, ready to report on Greenfield City's crochet market.

As he listened, Louis' frown deepened. "I expected Prosper Stitch Group to have influence in Greenfield City... but I didn't think it would be this overwhelming."

Abroad, Onley Group ruled the industry with an iron grip, and there was no real competition. Whenever they opened job applications, thousands would flood in within a single day.

Yet here in Greenfield City, only about 20 seamstresses had interviewed at Onley Group in the past two days-and most had only shown up after failing to secure a spot at Prosper Stitch Group. Did they really see Onley Group as nothing more than a last resort?

"Prosper Stitch Group holds their

dominance in Greenfield City for two key reasons. First, they have no external shareholders-every ounce of power is concentrated in the hands of their chairman, Edward Moore. Second, they managed to recruit Janice Smith," Santiago explained.

"Janice Smith..." Louis murmured.

According to past investigations, Prosper Stitch Group's popularity had surged ever since they recruited her. From that moment on, they dominated the headlines, never fading from the public eye. In business, hype and publicity were just as essential.

Louis frowned. "What's the deal with Janice? Why is she always in the spotlight?"

Santiago didn't hold back. "Janice

and Simon the man

downstairs were once a couple. But thanks to interference from Mr. Zedrick's ex-girlfriend, Janice was pubficly humiliated at her own wedding. She was supposed to be the bride, yet she was reduced to nothing more than a bridesmaid who was forced to watch as the man she loved married someone else.

"As if that weren't enough, after seven years of unwavering loyalty, Simon repaid her by throwing her out with nothing but a pitiful hundred grand. But Janice didn't waste time drowning in sorrow. Instead, she joined Prosper Stitch Group, and from that moment on, their rivalry only grew more intense."

Louis was genuinely surprised. "All that actually happened?"

His curiosity flared. "I thought this was just another case of a cheating scumbag, but I didn't expect "noveldrama

He suddenly paused, his expression shifting. "Wait a minute. Did you just say my brother's ex? Are you talking about Amelia Burnett?"

Santiago nodded. "That's right. She's the reason Mr. Zedrick is going after Simon so ruthlessly. Simon used her, betrayed her, and discarded her like trash. Now, Mr. Zedrick is making sure he pays the price."

Without hesitation, Louis strode downstairs.

In the living room, Simon was caught in a heated argument with Zedrick.

Out of nowhere, a phone came hurtling through the air, smashing into his head and leaving him stunned.
