Bride to Be, Not Me

Chapter 3

Chapter 3 "Was it you who forgot or me?" Janice's gaze was calm. Simon didn't feel sorry at all for slapping her. He was even picking on her now.

Back then, she had always been obedient to him. After getting off work, she would always act like a sweet and caring partner.

She worked hard to run the company. No matter how late it was, she would pick him up after business meetings.

She had done all this not only because of the bond they built after going through thick and thin for years together but also because of Simon's father, Hugh Fitzgerald.

The Smith family owed it to the Fitzgerald family. When Janice's mother passed away, Janice and Jacob had gone to their mother's tomb up the hill. Jacob had been so sad that he tripped and fell off the hill when they were on their way down.

Hugh had run down to help him without hesitation. However, Hugh had been too exhausted when he climbed up. He had fallen off the hill and died.

Since then, Simon's mother, Helena Mullins, would cuss at Janice whenever she saw her. She thought her family wouldn't have to suffer so much if Hugh hadn't tried to save Jacob.

Perhaps it was out of guilt or gratitude that Janice had been putting up with Simon's horrible attitude all these years. She wouldn't argue with Simon about where to keep the money she had made.

In the end, Simon took her as a pushover because of how obedient she had been. He had never seen Janice's true colors. In reality, both of them could hold the reins, and she was never meant to be controlled by anyone.

"You even have the nerve to speak to me in this manner now." Simon laughed as he sized her up. Then, he asked softly, "Is it because you know the boss?"

Janice avoided his hand. She looked slightly reluctant. "Weren't you busy taking care of Amelia? There should be someone out there who cares about me."

Simon fell silent for a long while. "You're resenting me."

"I—"
