Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 207

Zedrick ordered an investigation into Amelia's life in Cruznia over the past year. The results pointed to a woman named Heidi, who not only bullied Amelia but also deceived her. Apparently, a recent incident had led to Heidi pushing Amelia forward to take all the blame.

"Don't kill her," Zedrick instructed.

Louis asked, "There's also a man involved. Want to take a look?"

Santiago handed over another file.

Interesting.

Judging by Zedrick's reaction, Louis knew this man had crossed a line with Zedrick. Without hesitation, Louis gestured to the bodyguards, who immediately stormed into Simon's room.

"Why are you hitting me? She's the fraud! This has nothing to do with me!"

Hearing that, Zedrick felt only disgust.

Was he even a man? A coward like him dared to claim he loved someone?

The thought of what Amelia had endured under Simon's cruelty made Zedrick seethe with anger. He hated himself for not being there for her when she needed it most.

But there was no point dwelling on the past.

"Demand ransom from his family," Zedrick ordered.

Louis never refused Zedrick's commands and immediately arranged for that to be done.

"You should stay put and rest. We're heading to Cruznia next week. I've already arranged housing."

…

Coincidentally, on the first day Louis and Zedrick arrived in Cruznia, their car encountered another vehicle at the entrance of an upscale villa district.

A Bentley was pulling out as their car was about to enter.

Technically, there were separate lanes for entry and exit, but their driver, unfamiliar with the area, had caused a slight traffic jam.

Zedrick coughed and commented, "I heard he has a girlfriend named Janice Smith."

Louis raised a brow. "Are they really together, or is it just a rumor?"

Zedrick warned, "Be careful. This is Cruznia. Word is that Edward practically runs Greenfield City from behind the scenes. He may appear low-profile, but he's difficult to deal with."

Louis didn't care. Now that they were in Cruznia, Onley Group and Prosper Stitch were bound to be enemies. And that meant Janice would have to be used to Onley Group's advantage!

…

Inside the newly purchased villa, Louis was resting when Santiago entered. "Mr. Louis, Heidi finally talked."

"What did she say?"

"She knows Shirley's last name and where she lives."
