Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon)

Simon could scream all he wanted. At this point, it was meaningless.

Zedrick walked down the stairs and glanced at the pathetic mess that was Simon. "Let him be. At the very least, he'll be an annoyance to Janice and Edward."

The moment the bodyguards stopped, Simon scrambled toward Zedrick. He grinned ear to ear like a deranged lunatic. "Mr. Jovarek, you have to help me! Janice owes my family a life! That means she has to do whatever I ask of her. If she refuses, I'll go to the media. I'll tell them she schemed behind my back while we were dating and that she's a manipulative woman."

Zedrick had seen some disgusting people in his life. But Simon was truly something else. The fact that he was breathing the same air as this guy made him want to puke.

"Get the hell away from me."

But Simon didn't care as his mind was already spiraling into delusions of grandeur, picturing the glorious life that awaited him. He straightened his back while laughing. "Haha! Janice is something else."

Zedrick shot him a sideways glance. "Should I remind you that you're a suspected HIV carrier and medically confirmed to be infertile? Anyone would have to be a damn idiot to get involved with you now."

Simon fell silent as his face was drained of color. For a brief moment, he had considered forcing Janice to have a child with him. That way, she'd be tied to him forever. But now... that was impossible... The realization hit him like a truck, and he trembled with rage.

He would demand money from Janice tomorrow. She owed his family a life. She should spend her entire existence making it up to them!

Once Simon was finally gone, Louis scoffed. "I can't stand this kind of trash, Zedrick. Now that we know Janice is Shirley, we don't need him anymore."

Zedrick immediately caught on. Louis wanted to get rid of Simon.

"We're still in Cruznia," he reminded him.

Louis smirked. "Wasn't he planning to go abroad for treatment?"

"If you get rid of him, you'll be doing Janice and Edward a favor. Since when were you this charitable?" Zedrick scoffed, raising an eyebrow.

Louis rolled his eyes. "Keeping him around is more of a headache for me than it is for them. You should send him to the Prosper Stitch Group and let them deal with him."

Zedrick mulled over it for a second. "Given Prosper Stitch Group's current influence and trajectory in the country, making an enemy of them is not a wise move. It's much better to maintain a friendly relationship for now. The domestic raw material supply is tight now. Let's offer it to them at a low price as a gesture of goodwill.

"I also heard their products are being sold abroad but at relatively low prices. Invest some money to undercut their rates. Then use that as leverage to negotiate a business collaboration with them."

Louis frowned. "A collaboration? I don't need Prosper Stitch Group for anything."

Zedrick smirked. "I meant, send Simon there."

"You're seriously going through all this trouble just to dump that idiot to Prosper Stitch Group?" Louis asked, surprised.

Zedrick chuckled. "Would you enjoy having your girlfriend's ex-boyfriend hanging around all the time?"

As long as Edward was unstable, Prosper Stitch Group would never have peace.

Louis folded his arm and glanced at the guest room where Simon was staying. That was probably the only use Simon had left.

...

Simon didn't sleep a wink that night. He was too excited and too busy plotting how

he would confront Janice tomorrow.

He dialed Heidi's number.

Heidi had just endured an entire day of reprimands. She had just barely settled into the accommodation Louis had arranged for her when her phone rang. The moment she saw Simon's name, she felt nothing but disgust.

She had no patience for dealing with anyone from her past, especially not this brainless idiot.noveldrama

"What the hell do you want?" She snapped.

Simon's voice crackled through the

phone line, practically vibrating with citement. "Heidi, I need y I help!

u help me, I'll maket

If your rich!"

Heidi groaned. "Did they beat you stupid or something? Get lost!"

But then Simon blurted out, "Janice is Shirley!"

There was a moment of silence on the phone. For a long time, Heidi didn't speak.

When she finally did, her voice was hoarse. "Say that again."

Simon grinned, practically giddy. "Janice is Shirley! She lied to me and deceived me! She owes me compensation for all the years

wasted! And on top of that, shnet

owes my family a life. That means she should be indebted to me forever! So, are you coming with me to confront her or what?"
