RedNovelChapter 277 These words... they sounded familiar.
Years ago, Janice had once tried to talk to Simon about something in her daily life. Back then, he had dismissed her just like this. So, this was how it felt.
She had spoken to him so sincerely, and he had found her annoying.
"Janice, people don't fall in love with many people in their lifetime. You love me. How could you possibly love Edward? I get it, he has money and power. I don't blyou, and I won't hold it against you. I just hope you can "Simon, get this straight. Don't act like I can't live without you or like my love life ended the moment you left. You think way too highly of yourself. Ever since the day I saw you for who you really are, everything about you disgusts me. Honestly, I must've been blind have ever dated you." The shock in his eyes was unmistakable.
Janice rested her head against her hand and let out a slow, amused laugh. "Tell me, if I hadn't made it to where I am today, would you have regretted it?" Simon's pupils flickered.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe smiled. "You wouldn't have. If anything, you would've laughed atfor failing. You'd still be looking down on me, belittlingevery chance you got. But too bad for you, I beceverything you never wantedto be." With that, she reached for the car door. Simon instinctively stepped closer.
Janice frowned, her eyes filled with disgust. "Move. My boyfriend's here." Simon's head snapped around.
A Bentley had just pulled up at the entrance, its headlights still on. Edward, tall and imposing, stepped out and walked toward her with steady confidence.
She felt a little lightheaded from the breeze. When she reached him, she instinctively leaned into his arms. "You actually came? I thought you were joking." Lately, Edward had been busier than ever. The two of them barely saw each other, and even when he chlate at night, she was already asleep. So when he mentioned earlier that he'd pick her up, she hadn't taken it seriously.
Edward didn't even glance at Simon. He simply wrapped an arm around Janice and said, "I told you I would." Then, with a firm but gentle grip, he took her hand and led her toward the Bentley while Simon stood frozen, seething with jealousy.
Just then, the driver of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan said apologetically, "Sir, you're in the way." Simon staggered back a few steps, dazed.
He was drunk, and everything around him was spinning.
No... This wasn't possible...
Janice had always been soft-hearted. There was no way she could forget everything between them so quickly. Maybe she did hate him now, but the fact that she was willing to build a factory in Yewford Town... had to mean he still had a chance. He couldn't give up.
Janice was his last shot at turning things around.
"Simon, from now on, we have nothing to do with each other. I'm leaving Legacy Twine." Nearby, Elsie had been silently watching everything unfold. She never imagined Simon would go crawling back to Janice. But what shocked her even more was that Janice was Shirley.
There was no way she could ever compete with her now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJanice had just dropped a bombshell, not only on Greenfield City but on the entire global crochet industry.
By revealing her identity, she was telling the world that she alone could stand for Prosper Stitch Group, and she wasn't afraid to take on anyone. If she dared to expose the truth, it could only mean one thing-Prosper Stitch Group was fully prepared to enter the international market.
Elsie's instincts weren't wrong.
In the Bentley, Janice leaned back, feeling a little tipsy.
"By now, the whole world probably knows I'm Shirley. A lot of people will try to reach me, but I won't bother with them. The Historical Artifacts Conservancy project is the top priority right now. Alsovee start thinking of a nfor the shops outside the museum." Edward glanced at her, his heart aching. "You're still thinking about work after hours?"
"What else should I do? Now that I've revealed my identity, things are m bound to cup. I might as well tackle them head-on." Then, without warning, she wrapped her arms around his. "I'm hungry." "Want to go to a restaurant?" "No." Edward chuckled. "Then I'll cook for you at home." "Okay." Janice got surprisingly clingy after drinking.
In the past, even when they had drinks together, she had always been had a composed and polite. But now that she and Edward were officially a couple, she no longer held back.
When they got home, Edward told Laura and the others to go rest while he rolled up his sleeves and started making her a late-night meal. He knew she had barely eaten anything at the banquet. But just as he was cutting vegetables, he suddenly felt a pair of arms wrap around his waist from behind.
