Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon)

"What are you doing here?" Edward asked sternly.

Janice quickly caught on and smiled. "I was just picking something up. Take a look."

Edward watched the two video clips, and within moments, he understood her plan.

"I'll handle it."noveldrama

Without hesitation, he forwarded the videos to Harrison, instructing him to have the PR team craft the perfect headline and story.

Prosper Stitch Group's PR team was always quick, and with their recent victory, Edward had promised double overtime pay this month, which motivated them even more.

By the time the Moore siblings and Janice sat down for dinner, a sensational news story had already hit the top trending searches in Greenfield City.

"A talent who has returned from overseas, the vice president of the National Crochet Union, and the chairman of Refined Threads Co.—a thrilling love triangle erupts at the crochet finals, leaving the female lead gravely injured and hospitalized!"

The headline was long but provocative enough to grab the attention of netizens.

Within an hour, the story had gone viral.

Eager reporters rushed to Heidi's hospital, staking out every entrance and exit.

"Wouldn't it be a shame to miss out on the drama? Mom's already there. We should swing by," Matilda said with a grin.

The siblings exchanged glances, but Edward simply turned to Janice and asked, "Do you want to go?" Calvin and Matilda exchanged a speechless look. Was he really letting Janice call all the shots? Meanwhile, Janice had just finished eating. "Let's go. It's time to check on my defeated opponent."

Calvin pressed his lips together. He was starting to realize that his initial impression of Janice had been completely wrong. She was far from a fragile damsel.

Heidi was at Greenfield City General Hospital.

Since waking up that evening, she had been throwing a fit in her hospital ward. Her face was bruised and swollen.

"I'm suing that bastard, Harry! He's going to rot in jail for this! He owes me compensation! He'd better get on his knees and beg for my forgiveness!"

Consumed with rage, she swore, "If I don't utterly destroy him, I'm unworthy of the Ryan family name!" Outside the hospital ward, Barbara paused, her hand frozen in mid-air right as she was about to knock. Beside her, Myra and Terry exchanged knowing looks.

Heidi's two-faced act was getting unbearable.

Just then, footsteps echoed in the hallway, drawing Barbara's attention.

Janice walked over, tidying her appearance after a brief sneezing fit. "Hello, Mrs. Moore, Ms. Thompson, and Mr. Gallagher."

Barbara returned her greeting with a smile before saying, "Hold on. Don't go in just yet."

Calvin raised an eyebrow. "Is she still unconscious?"

Janice checked her watch before

saying in a calm and indifferent tone, "She should be awake by now. I'm sure she's probably cursing me as we speak. Looks like it's not the best time to go in."

She had seen plenty of people like Heidi. Whenever things went south, they never took responsibility and always blamed their opponent instead.

Simon was a prime example.

"Did she really have to be so spot-on?" Barbara, Myra, and Terry thought to themselves.

Just then, a group of reporters burst into the hospital ward, overwhelming the medical staff who couldn't stop them. Microphones were shoved into Heidi's face as the reporters fired off questions.

"So, Ms. Ryan, Harry claims you're actually the famous Ms. Shirley Olson. Is that true?"

"Harry also said you made a deal to help Melody & Loops Creations win first place in the finals, all to undermine Prosper Stitch Group. Do you deny that?"

"Ms. Ryan, are you really Shirley Olson?"

Three devastating questions, all at once.

Gregory and Emma were completely blindsided.

Already in a foul mood, Heidi instinctively tried to deny it, "I'm not—"

But the moment the words escaped her lips, she froze, and her voice trailed off.

Behind the reporters, Heidi noticed the Moore family, with Janice standing among them. She had a smug expression on her face.

As soon as she saw Janice, Heidi's anger flared. She wanted nothing more than to storm over and scream at her on the spot.

If it weren't for Janice, she never would have falsely claimed to be Shirley, and none of this would be happening. But now, could she really deny it in front of the Moore family? itin Wouldn't that be like a slap to her own face? How could she ever hold her head up again?

Yet if she didn't deny it, how could she escape the accusation of conspiring with Harry to undermine Prosper

Stitch Group? She was completely trapped.

Regret flooded over Heidi like an overwhelming tide.

Had she known things would spiral this out of control, she never would have claimed to be Shirley in the first

place.
