Bride to Be, Not Me

Chapter 285

Janice's video, combined with Amelia's mocking words, pushed Sarah over the edge. She threw her phone aside and lunged at Amelia, grabbing her hair. "You filthy scumbag! I'll shut your damn mouth!"

Zedrick's kick struck her side with force. Sarah cried out as pain shot through her waist, sending her sprawling to the floor.

The bodyguards burst through the door, swiftly pinning her down and smacking her face again and again.

Zedrick's icy gaze locked onto her as he said in a low and menacing voice, "You still don't get it, huh? This is how Simon learned his lesson."

Sarah had never really taken a real beating before-just a few slaps from Helena at most. But this time, with punches and kicks hitting hard, the pain got overwhelming real fast, and she passed out.

Amelia, devoid of fear, coldly watched as Sarah lay motionless on the floor. After all, Amelia was practically done for. Why would she care about the fate of someone she despised?

"Just leave her," Amelia ordered, her voice ice cold. "When she wakes up, she'll get back to the kitchen." Amelia had already decided she was going to make Sarah's life a living nightmare.

Meanwhile, she contacted a few tabloids to make sure Sarah's job as a maid made headlines.

Helena called Simon that same day. "Simon, did Sarah really become a maid?" she asked, her voice full of worry.
