Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 155

The snowflakes landed on Janice's face, their icy chill seeping into her skin.

She lowered her gaze, keeping her voice calm and emotionless. "Hold on. I need to contact the bank. I can't transfer such a large amount myself."

"Alright. I'll wait for your call."

There was an unmistakable smirk in Simon's tone as if he had her completely under his control.

The moment she hung up, Janice's grip on her phone tightened so hard that her knuckles turned white. It was as if Simon was the phone itself.

Next to her, Jacob had heard everything, and his expression darkened. "Janice, don't play along. Let's have someone look into it first."

Of course, she wasn't about to let Simon have his way.

She turned around and called her secretary. "Make me a transfer slip. Mark it as a scheduled payment for tomorrow."

Her secretary didn't ask any questions and immediately got to work.

Simon had been toying with her for far too long. She had always swallowed her anger before, but she wouldn't let him walk away unscathed this time.

After ten minutes, her secretary sent her the fake transfer slip. It was flawless, real enough to fool anyone.

Janice forwarded it directly to Simon and then called him.

"The amount is too large, so it'll be processed overnight. Check your messages."

When he saw the transfer slip, Simon's heart pounded wildly. A mix of excitement and envy surged through him.

It was five million dollars!

He was excited because she was an idiot for helping him.

He also felt envious because there was no way she earned this money herself. Edward must have given it to her!

Five million dollars could be considered as the price she paid for sleeping with another man. Simon felt disgusted just thinking about it.

"Got it," he muttered.

"Where were my parents' graves relocated to?" Janice asked, getting back on topic.

Simon's tone was dismissive. "I don't remember the exact address. Just call the cemetery manager. I have other things to deal with."
