Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 113

Barbara frowned. "Heidi doesn't look like she's faking it. Didn't that man call her Ms. Olson over the phone? How about this? Le'ts take Terry's advice and test her over dinner later."

If Heidi was truly Shirley Olson, then her reputation as someone who had brought the national crochet industry to international heights could not be smeared.

Terry would have to find a way to take down the videos of Heidi cursing, which could be unfair to Janice.

Still, he had no choice but to think of the big picture because he worked in the field of cultural promotion. He was worried that Edward might disagree with his decision, though.

Not only that, if Heidi was confirmed to be Shirley, Terry would have to pull some strings to get her into Prosper Stitch Group. Only then could he help Edward's company go international and set the standards in the domestic crochet industry, which would also benefit Terry's cultural promotion work.

The matter at hand had transcended the petty conflicts between two young ladies.

Emma stood at the kitchen door and exclaimed, "That's a lot of food for just a few of us. We're not even strangers! Mrs. Moore, you really didn't have to put yourself through this trouble."

"Well, it's not often that you visit. Try my cooking! Besides, Edward will be back for dinner later. We can catch up."

Barbara often cooked for herself. Her personal chefs didn't have much to do, so most of the time, they helped her with the prep work.

Emma immediately went to Heidi after she heard that Edward would attend dinner.

"Didi! Edward will be here tonight. I think his family probably wants to matchmake you guys after hearing you're Shirley Olson. Buck up!"

"Really? Are they trying to matchmake me and Edward?" Heidi was beyond delighted.

"Why else would they call Edward over for dinner?" Emma tidied Heidi's hair. "Good girl. You're so capable. Do you know how much our family will benefit as the in-laws of the Moore family?

"Mrs. Moore has set her eyes on you before your identity was even made public. I'm sure those rich socialities will try to flatter you when you reveal yourself as Shirley!"

In that case, the Ryan family would have a place in the high society of Solvania!

Shirley Olson's reputation had reached even outsiders, not to mention those in the industry. People in foreign countries regarded her as the rising star of Cruznia's crochet industry!

Experts had given out critical acclaim for Shirley's award-winning artwork from last year, saying it was a valuable collectible and a blueprint for all seamstresses.
