Bride to Be, Not Me

Chapter 272

As soon as Janice returned to Greenfield City, she contacted Celine.

The National Crochet Union was hosting a banquet the next day, and she had been invited.

Every major company in Greenfield City was on the guest list-including Legacy Twine, which had only been registered recently. Naturally, Elsie had received an invitation as well.

By the next evening, luxury cars steadily rolled up to the entrance of Greenfield Grand Hotel.

Janice, however, was the last to arrive.

Edward had kept her up late the night before, and she was still glaring at him through the video call as she stepped out of the car. "I told you I had a banquet to attend. You're so-"

Edward had also been invited but chose not to attend. That had been a joint decision between them.

Prosper Stitch Group was already on the verge of dominating the domestic market. If Edward showed up, he'd be swarmed by people, and getting too close to anyone could cause problems.

But Janice? To the outside world, she was just an employee, so she didn't have to worry about making enemies.

Inside the banquet hall, Simon and Heidi were among the guests, but Heidi stayed in the corner, carefully scanning the crowd. She intended to use this opportunity to build alliances with a few key companies. She'd do anything to sabotage Prosper Stitch Group and stop them from becoming too powerful.
