Bride to Be, Not Me

Chapter 245

"So, from now on, make sure you always have bodyguards with you when you go out. You can't afford to be careless," Edward warned Janice.

"I'm going to visit the cemetery tomorrow," Janice said. "If I don't go now, I won't have time later."

"Do you want me to go with you?"

"It's fine. You have too much on your plate. Just focus on your work."

Janice left early the next morning with Jacob to visit the cemetery.

"Mr. Jovarek, that car belongs to Mr. Moore from Prosper Stitch Group," Santiago remarked as a Rolls-Royce Cullinan exited the highway.

Louis glanced back. "Are you referring to Edward?"

"No, that Cullinan is always driven by Ms. Smith," Santiago clarified.

He continued, "Celine is arriving in Cruznia tomorrow. We've confirmed she's here to meet Shirley."

"Shirley?" Louis' expression darkened. "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely. Celine's secretary confirmed it," Santiago replied. "Should we follow them tomorrow?"

"Of course."

Louis was deeply curious about who Shirley really was and what she had become. Back then, her sharp tongue had nearly driven him to the brink of madness. After that scathing tirade, she disappeared without a trace.

Suddenly, Louis' phone buzzed with a call from an unfamiliar domestic number. He paused before answering. "Who is this?"

"It's Simon!" His voice was frantic, almost pleading. "Mr. Jovarek, I swear I'll find a way to bring Janice to Onley Group! Please help me! I don't have the money to pay back Zedrick, and now, I'm sick... I don't know what to do! Please, give me a way out!"
