Bride to Be, Not Me

Chapter 262

The morning passed quickly. By the time the move was completed and everything was unpacked, it was already noon.

The front door had not been closed properly, allowing the voices of passersby in the alley to drift into the house.

They were gossiping about how the Fitzgerald family must have fallen into ruin. If not, why would they return to their old home? Their mocking laughter carried on without end.

Annoyed, Sarah walked to the door, intending to shut it and block out the chatter.

Just as she reached for the door, a middle-aged woman smirked. "Oh, Ms. Fitzgerald, back in Yewford Town? You shouldn't still be dreaming of living like a noble lady. I'm telling you this out of kindness. Our town is about to open a new factory. Why don't you consider getting a job there? I heard the pay is quite good. Earning a living might save you and your mother from starving."

"Spare me your kindness!" Sarah snapped before slamming the door shut.

Meanwhile, at the edge of Yewford Town, construction on the factory was progressing at full speed. Workers were already moving machines inside.

With the equipment and raw material storage nearly set up, operations were expected to begin within a week.

"Ms. Smith, we're truly grateful that you're willing to do something for the people of Yewford Town," said Luther Zieglar, the town mayor, his gratitude evident.
