Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 234

Simon was nothing but ungrateful, a man who burned bridges and discarded those who had once helped him.

"Can you lend me some money?" he asked.

"Money?" Elsie frowned. "Didn't I already give you more than enough?"

She had already contributed a substantial amount, and Janice had also bought out Simon's shares, totaling about 20 million dollars.

After covering the company's startup costs and the factory, they'd only spent about five million dollars.

"Besides the company funds, you must have some leftover, right?"

Simon clenched his fists.

Yes, he did have some money left, but it was set aside for more urgent needs. He couldn't afford to part with it all.

He figured it would be easiest if Elsie lent him the money. He could claim it was for her salary and use that excuse to avoid paying her back. She'd never protest.

It had worked every time before, and he was confident it would work again. But this time, he had made a grave miscalculation.

Elsie crossed her arms. "So, Simon, what exactly have you gotten yourself into?"

Simon gritted his teeth. "I broke some things by accident, and now, they want compensation. I can't just ignore it. What would people think if I don't pay?"

Elsie's frustration flared. They had invested in the company together. If she cut ties with Simon now, all her money would be lost.

"Wait here."

A short while later, Elsie returned with a bank card in her hand. "This is all I have left—just over two million dollars. But remember, it's a loan. You'll need to pay me back because I'm out of options."

"What?" Simon blinked in disbelief. "Only two million? Are you really offering me scraps?"

Elsie had finally had enough. Her patience shattered, and without hesitation, she raised her hand and struck Simon hard across the face.
