Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 87

Chapter 817 

It sounded like Edward was in a car. 

“Edward?” 

“ll be on a business trip for about a week,” madward’s calm vole came through from the other end of the line. “If anything comes up, don’t hesitate to call me 

Janice lowered her gase, “okay. Then… Take care of yourself.” 

After Edward left for his business trip abroad, the reorganized crochet department gradually got back on track. Under Janice’s leadership, the double–sided crochet team began growing at a noticeable pace. 

Janice’s days were packed with teaching and overseeing the team. Before she realized it, the first snowfall had arrived in Grendedor 

Edward had been pone for a full week and still hadn’t returned 

The snow came earlier this year than usual, dusting the city in white even though it was only the beginning of November, 

“Ms. Smith, Mrs. Moore has arched at the company. She’s asking to see you.” 

During this time, Janice had barely seen Edward, but rumors about their relationship hadn’t died down at all. Her dally commute in Edward’s Rolls–Royce Cullinan had only fueled the speculation. 

“Mr. Moore’s mother?” Janice put down her pen, acontused look on her face. 

Edward was on a business trip abroad and wasn’t in the orice. 

with that thought in mind, Janice figured Edward’s mother, Barbara Thompson, was probably here for her. 

Janice stood up and then started walking out as she asked, “Did she come alone? 

Sunny shook her head. “She came with Ms. Ryan” 

Janice’s are turned sharp as she headed toward the financial building. If this were a family introduction, she might have felt a little nervous. 

But this wasn’t that 

With Heidi tagging along. It was clear they were here to cause trouble. 

Whether it was for her future or for the seamstresses under her, Janice knew one thing for sure— 

she couldn’t back down. 

“Ms. Thompson, she abused her authority and fired an experienced seamstress who had been working for Prosper Stitch Group for years. Now the outside world is accusing the company of being ungrateful and burning bridges. Doesn’t this tamish everything Edward has worked so hard to build?” 

Heidi sighed. “Treally don’t want to interfere in the company’s affairs, but I can’t stand by and watch Edward’s efforts go to waste. The Winter Tournament starts next week. If they fail to qualify for the international event, won’t all of Edward’s work this year have been for nothing? You know how hard he always works.” 

Hearing Heidi’s words, Barbara felt sorry for her son and frowned 

she was a mother who supported her children in starting their own businesses, but any mother would find it hard to accept someone destroying her child’s hard work 

If Sophie hadn’t brought her complaints to Barbara directly, the latter wouldn’t even have considered stepping into Prosper Stitch Group’s affairs. 

But Barbara wasn’t the only one frowning. Marilda, who had just returned from abroad, also had her brows furrowed. 

When she heard Heidi’s words, she shot back, “Heidi, do you know Prosper Stitch Group that well?– 

Heidi smiled and replied, “I may not work at Prosper Stitch Group, but I’ve spent plenty of time in the crochet industry Seamstresses are the heart of a crochet business. It’s Wrong to be deceitful or form cliques–these things are unacceptable anywhere.” 

Matilda suppressed a sigh. If Heidi weren’t so close to her elder brother, she would have already firedback ather. 

“Marida, you’re too trusting of people,” Heidi continued. “I grew up with you and Edward. Of course, I want what’s best for Prosper Stitch Group. Don’t let yourself get fooled by someone with ulterior motives.” 

Matilda didn’t even spare her a glance 

Just then, a polite knock interrupted the conversation. 

Barbara took a sip of water, her expression calm and composed. She excluded an ale of listelleet and quiet confidence. “Come in.”
