Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 243

Simon clenched his fists. "Tell me—what exactly did I do to offend Zedrick? Why are you two so determined to ruin my life?"

"Don't you know Amelia?"

Amelia?

So, that bitch really was connected to them.

"Did she cheat on Zedrick or something?" Simon's mind momentarily stalled.

Louis stared at him as though he were an idiot. "I'm trying to show restraint, but you're making it impossible. Sometimes, I wonder if Refined Threads Co. was ever truly your success. There are rumors that Janice was the real force behind the company's rise. And given what I see now… Those rumors might just be right."

"Don't believe all the praise Janice gets online! What does she even know? She buys crochet pieces from other people and passes them off as her own! The only reason she landed those contracts was because of her looks! I was the one making all the real decisions. You and I are both chairmen, so you know better than anyone how hard this business is!"

Simon struggled to maintain what little dignity he had left.

Louis nodded slowly. "Oh, I know."

"Exactly! Janice is just—"

Louis interrupted, saying, "But the difference is, I'm not as shameless as you."

Simon's face hardened.

Louis let out an exasperated sigh. "Alright, enough talk. My terms are clear—bring me Shirley or Janice, and I'll give Legacy Twine a real chance at survival. If you can't, then this conversation ends here. See him out."

As the secretary stepped forward to escort Simon out, he gripped the edge of the desk, refusing to budge.

"Mr. Jovarek, don't let Zedrick be fooled by Amelia! She's a walking disease! You can't just take a woman's word at face value. You and I should be working together, not against each other!"

Just then, Louis grabbed a book and flung it at Simon, making him stumble back in humiliation. With no other option, Simon spun on his heel and stormed out.
