Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon)

Sarah screamed. Her voice was raw with pain and fury. "Why don't you just drop dead?"

Amelia sneered, "Don't worry. When I die, I'll drag one of your family members with me."

"Why do you hate us so much? Hasn't Simon treated you well? He spent money on you and-"

Amelia interrupted, "If it weren't for your brother, I wouldn't have missed my chance to get treatment. I could've survived with medication, but he cut me off. It's too late now."

Sarah retorted, "You started this with your lies. If you hadn't fooled my brother, he never would've lost Janice. Without all this mess, he'd be the chairman of a major company and riding high. This is all your fault."

Amelia's gaze turned savage as she gripped Sarah's face. "Yeah, I lied to him. But whose fault is it that your brother is a greedy and arrogant fool? A man like that has no right to point fingers. And you you're just a vicious bitch who picks on people you think are weaker. I'd love to see you try that with Elsie. She'd rip you to shreds in no time with that sharp tongue of hers."

She paused and added, "Pathetic coward."

Amelia stood up. "Get on your knees and start scrubbing my clothes and shoes. If I'm even a little unhappy, I'll shave you bald."

"You wouldn't dare!" Sarah screamed.

Zedrick stood there. He didn't say a word, but his presence alone was enough to snuff out Sarah's bravado.

At that moment, she understood these people had nothing to lose.

And honestly, the people who returned from abroad were never decent.

Edward glanced at the time. It was true-Janice had been sleeping since late morning. He walked to the bedroom and gently pushed the door open.

She was still asleep and looked so content. He looked at her briefly and wasn't sure whether to wake her up.

"Get up and eat something before you go back to sleep."

Janice felt more tired the longer she slept, as though the exhaustion was holding her down. She sat up groggily. "What time is it?"

"5:30 pm."

"What?" She snapped awake.

Had she really slept straight through from morning to evening?

"This is all your fault," she grumbled. "You've been tossing and turning the past

two nights, and I barely got any sleep."

Edward chuckled. "Fine. It's my fault."

Janice stretched as she got up. "Still, that was the best sleep I've had in a while."

After freshening up, she headed to the living room.

Barbara waved her over as soon as she saw her. "I made some light soup for you. Come try it. You've lost weight. You need to eat more and keep your strength up."

As the mother and son chatted, Janice quietly focused on her meal. Her appetite was better than it had been in a long time. fo

Seeing that, Edward finally relaxed. If she wasn't eating well, it usually meant something was off.

Barbara's face lit up. "That fast? You and your team must've worked hard."
