Bride to Be, Not Me

Chapter 254

Myra couldn't hold back her fiery temper. A loud smack echoed through the room as she landed a sharp slap across Simon's face.

"How dare you hit my son?" Helena shrieked.

Myra had been raised as a pampered heiress. She was protected by her older sister, spoiled by her parents, and cherished by her husband after marriage. She hadn't lost her temper in years. But now? She was furious.

Taking a deep breath to contain her rage, she snapped, "Take this family to the lounge!"

The bodyguards obeyed without hesitation, dragging the three of them away. Calvin's gaze swept across the room, landing on the seamstresses.

The moment his eyes passed over them, they pretended to be busy as if they hadn't seen or heard a thing.

Of course, they were on the Moores' side!

Even Maggie couldn't hide her amusement as she watched Simon get dragged away.

Calvin turned to Janice with a gentle tone. "You focus on your work. We'll handle this. There's no need to let these pests waste your time."

Edward had specifically asked him to keep an eye out for Janice while he was away. As Edward's brother, he wouldn't let him down.

And Janice truly did have work to do. She gestured for her secretary to keep an eye on things and left for a meeting. There had been a sudden fluctuation in the overseas market, and she needed to fix it.

In the lounge, Terry sat off to the side, flipping through a business magazine as if this were just another ordinary day. Meanwhile, Myra stood in front of the Fitzgeralds, towering over them. Her expression was cold.

"I heard from the bodyguards that you came here demanding my future niece-in- law's life in return. Moral blackmail, huh?"

She flicked her fingers, signaling to the bodyguards.
