Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 141

It seemed that the heavens were truly on Elsie's side.

Amelia had never married Simon, after all.

This was the perfect scenario.

…

"Ms. Smith!"

Janice strode into the Prosper Stitch Group building, pushing open the door to Edward's office. "Edward, what's going on with the stock market?"

The room was crowded. Matilda, senior finance executives, accountants, and the heads of subsidiary crochet factories were all present.

Edward waved his hand at her. "I was just about to explain.

"Everyone, please leave us."

One by one, the executives exited the room.

Janice sank onto the couch, and Edward joined her, keeping a measured distance as he lit a cigarette.

"Suddenly acquiring such large quantities of raw materials will definitely raise alarms and make other companies cautious. You know that as well as I do," Janice reminded him.

Edward met her gaze. "That's why I let it slip that Refined Threads Co. crossed me, forcing me to take drastic measures. They'll believe it was an impulsive decision, but in reality, this has been part of my strategy from the start."

Monopolizing the raw material suppliers was the key to Prosper Stitch Group dominating the crochet industry. He hadn't done it before because Prosper Stitch Group had never qualified for the international championship.

But now that Janice had succeeded, Edward was determined to capitalize on the momentum and strike a decisive blow to Refined Threads Co.

Everything was unfolding as planned.

"So, you're willing to absorb such a heavy cost for this acquisition?" Janice frowned. "That's a loss."

"Let it be a loss," Edward replied. "I'm trading that money for ten-year contracts with domestic suppliers. In the end, it's a win for me."
