Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 184

Edward was tall and well-built. His black attire, especially the leather jacket, amplified his cold, intimidating presence.

He took a few steps forward and fixed his piercing gaze on Amelia, who was clearly frightened by his sudden appearance.

With a slight raise of his chin, he commanded in a hoarse voice, "Come down."

Amelia swallowed the last bit of her potato chip, her throat tightening with anxiety. "Mr. Moore, you can't just barge into someone's house like this," she said, her voice trembling.

Edward's gaze was steady and intense, sending shivers down Amelia's spine. Her legs felt like jelly as she scanned the living room, which was crowded with bodyguards. There was nowhere to run.

She descended the stairs and entered the living room. Edward stood motionless, radiating a chilling presence.

"You hired the driver who caused the accident with Calvin and Janice, didn't you?" he said, his voice low.

Amelia's heart pounded. How did he find out so quickly? It was impossible! The driver had been paid to keep quiet no matter what.

Watching her throat bob nervously, Edward pressed, "Was anyone else involved in this?"

Amelia had a sinking feeling that if it was just her, he wouldn't hesitate to take action.

Silence filled the living room.

As Edward approached, his cold, unforgiving gaze sent a wave of terror through Amelia.

"M-Mr. Moore, I… I made a mistake," Amelia stammered.

"A mistake that involved attempted murder?" Edward's tone was low and icy.

Amelia collapsed to the floor, tears streaming down her face. "It was Heidi! She put me in touch with the driver. I hate Janice! I even wish she was dead, but I wouldn't have the guts to do anything. It was Heidi who pushed me. She said that once Janice's hand was ruined, she'd have nothing to be proud of anymore. Heidi even promised to cover for me if anything went wrong. So…"

Only then did Edward realize Heidi was behind it all. He took a step back, and his bodyguards advanced. Amelia screamed as they began to beat her.
