Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 251

Heidi was instantly wide awake. The irritation vanished from her expression as she glanced at the time. After a brief pause, she agreed to meet Simon the next day.

Simon was too excited to sleep that night. By the time he met Heidi the next morning, there were dark circles beneath his eyes.

They met in a private room at a small restaurant.

Simon pulled off his baseball cap, his eyes practically gleaming with anticipation. Lately, his life had been on a downward spiral. Everything had been going wrong. But now, he saw his chance to get back up again and to claim everything that should have been his.

"Where have you been staying?" Simon asked.

Heidi frowned. "I've been retraining in crocheting. Mr. Jovarek ordered me to find out who Shirley was. Now that he knows, maybe I can finally leave."

"Haven't your parents come looking for you?"

"I can't drag them into this!" Heidi snapped. "They just think I'm on a trip with friends. They didn't ask too many questions."

That was why she had been hiding. She was always sneaking around, covering her face with a mask every time she went out. If anyone she knew saw her, she might as well never show her face again.

Simon had only asked out of politeness. He didn't care what Heidi was up to. Right now, he only needed an ally, and Heidi hated Janice. That meant she would help him.

"What's your plan?" she asked.

Simon's answer left her stunned.

"I'm just going to walk right into the Prosper Stitch Group and demand to see her. And if she doesn't agree to my terms, I have other ways to deal with her."

"What ways?"

Simon's lips curled into a cold smile. "I'll send my mom and sister to cause a scene at their entrance."

Heidi's frown deepened. It wasn't that she disagreed with the idea. She was just terrified of Edward. That man would not hesitate to make people disappear if they pissed him off.

Louis had traumatized her enough, and she had no intention of pushing her luck with Edward.

"You should rethink this," she warned. "If you do this and have a falling out with Janice, you'll walk away with nothing."
