Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 266

On Monday, Helena forced Sarah out of the house to look for a job, her expression dark with frustration.

But by then, Sarah's announcement—the one she had made just days ago while driving through the streets with a megaphone—had already spread across Yewford Town.

Now, everyone knew the Fitzgerald family was nothing but a bunch of leeches. No one should ever accept their help, or they'd be stuck with them for life.

As Sarah walked down the town's busiest street, she felt the weight of countless judgmental stares pressing down on her.

Yewford Town might have been called a "town", but it wasn't that big. No matter where she went, it was all the same—just another corner of the same place.

Furious and on the verge of tears, Sarah snatched her phone from her pocket and dialed Simon's number.

"Simon, hurry up and get me and Mom out of here! This shitty little town is impossible to live in. Those ignorant, brainless hillbillies have all been bought off by Janice, and they won't stop cursing at me."

Nearby, an old man who happened to know the Fitzgerald family couldn't help but chime in, "Hey, young lady, watch your mouth."

Sure enough, within minutes, a crowd had gathered around her. Terrified, Sarah burst into loud sobs.

The moment Simon heard that Janice was in Yewford Town, he didn't waste a second and set off immediately.

…

By evening, Janice had just finished overseeing operations at the factory and was preparing to return to her hotel in town. Just one more day and she could move on to meet with other business owners.

Over the past few days, at various dinner meetings, the local business owners had all silently reached the same conclusion—none of them would be offering Simon any help.

As Janice stepped out of the factory, she spotted Simon, looking exhausted from his hurried journey.
