Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 212

Driven mad, Heidi shot up, pointed a finger at Louis, and yelled at him, "Who do you think you are? On what grounds can you comment on my life? That bitch, Janice Smith, only knows how to seduce men with her looks! What else has she got?"

Instead of getting angry, Louis smiled. He didn't ask the bodyguard to do anything.

Louis was infamous abroad for his ability to hit where it hurt the most. "The fact you're here at my place shows that you can't compare to Janice."

Heidi couldn't stand it when people stated she wasn't as good as Janice.

Louis chuckled. Then, he ordered, "Lock her up but keep her alive. I don't wish to commit a crime."

Santiago had come down the stairs by then.

"Mr. Louis, Mr. Zedrick says you can kick that man out right now."

"Are we letting him go just like that?"

However, Louis immediately realized what Zedrick was up to when he saw Simon released.

Simon looked like he was absolutely fine except for some scrapes and bruises, but knowing Zedrick, he wasn't exactly a kind man.

Simon himself was confused as well when he was released, but he wasn't complaining. One thing disgusted him, though—prior to his release, his captors forced him to take a few drinks. He had no idea what was in those drinks.

Those guys were lawless! He hoped to never see them again.

He stumbled over to the roadside, where he hailed a cab and hurried home.

When he returned to his neighborhood, he realized he couldn't get to his home anymore.

He hurried over to the security booth, where he borrowed a phone to call his mom. He heard her crying over the phone.

…

He despaired at the thought of Janice's care and encouragement when they were renting together. After being beaten up for two days, he no longer had the energy to feel anger.

"Say something, Simon!" Sarah could not stand living in such a worn-out rental place. "At worst, just ask Janice for help. Mom and I can't live here. You need to think twice…"

"Why do I need to?" he suddenly bellowed at them.

Sarah's eyes widened in shock.

"Janice is now a top seamstress. Media in the country and abroad cover her news. How am I supposed to ask her for help?"

He grabbed Sarah by the arm and rammed her against the closet. She teared up from the pain as she yelled, "Mom!"

"Stop it! Why are you taking it out on your sister? It's all Janice's fault. She should be helping you now that she's doing better! Your dad saved her brother's life, after all! Isn't it normal to spend her life making it up to us?" Helena raised her voice.

Simon immediately calmed down. That was right. Janice owed them one because Hugh died saving Jacob.
