Bride to Be, Not Me

Chapter 135 Hearing Helena's and Sarah's words and remembering how deeply Janice had once loved him, Simon felt a flicker of doubt.

Sarah spoke up, breaking the silence. "I really wonder what Mr. Moore from Prosper Stitch Group thinks of Janice."

Simon scoffed, still unwilling to face the truth. "There's no way Edward actually cares about her. She's just a pretty face. A man like him needs a woman who can navigate social circles, not someone like her."

"Exactly, Simon!" Helena chimed in, her voice thick with arrogance. "Janice has no real background. She only got to where she is by using men. She should be grateful that we're even considering taking her back. There's no way she'll refuse you."

Simon fell into a long, heavy silence before finally muttering, "I'll figure out how to approach her."

"Good, good!" Helena exclaimed with a grin. "Make sure you get everything you can from her—every last cent. And while you're at it, have her void the mortgage contract on this villa."

That way, they wouldn't have to pay her back a dime.

Helena was certain the plan would work. Janice had loved Simon so blindly in the past, and now that he was willing to reconcile, what reason could she possibly have to say no?

With no place else to turn, Amelia and Adam moved into Arthur's home the following day.

Arthur wasn't oblivious-he could tell something had gone wrong between Amelia and Simon. However, he assumed it was due to the help she had given him, which had sparked an argument.

Feeling responsible, Arthur and his wife went out of their way to look after the Burnett siblings, even instructing the household staff to treat them with extra care.

That said, Arthur's family wasn't wealthy. They had been struggling to make a life in Greenfield City, and their home was modest at best.
