Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 133

Amelia shook with rage. "What right do you have to pity me? Didn't you get to where you are by relying on men? First, Simon, and now, Edward!"

Janice let out a soft chuckle and stepped closer, her gaze sweeping over Amelia, who stood without even a coat.

"Simon threw you out, didn't he?"

Amelia's lashes fluttered, but she remained silent.

"He found out about your HIV and exploded, didn't he? I bet he called you disgusting and demanded you pay him back."

Every word from Janice was a blade, cutting straight into Amelia's heart.

Furious, Adam lunged at Janice and raised a hand to shove her. "Stay out of this!"

But before he could even reach her, a man appeared out of nowhere, seizing his arm with a firm grip. It was the bodyguard Edward had appointed for Janice. He was always lurking nearby in a car, keeping a watchful eye on her safety.

He had been waiting outside the hospital, but he hadn't been expecting this kind of confrontation.

His expression remained unreadable, his hold tightening without mercy.

"Ouch! Let go!" Adam yelped in pain.

Since it wasn't an outright brawl, the hospital security merely watched from a distance, unsure whether to step in.

Janice stood calmly with her hands tucked into her pockets, a faint smirk playing on her lips.

"You stole my wedding and ruined the crochet dress my mother left me. This is just karma coming back around."

"It was you, wasn't it? You told Simon about my diagnosis!" Amelia's voice shook with rage.

"We were together for years, so I figured I owed him the truth. Besides, he still owes me money. I can't have him dying on me. That'd be a complete loss."

Janice's eyes gleamed with amusement as if she were watching an entertaining drama unfold.

"You really are an idiot, aren't you?"

"You—"

"He had no problem throwing me out, so what made you think you'd be any different?"

Burning with fury, Amelia snapped, "Janice, shut the—"

"Oh, that reminds me," Janice cut her off. "Now that I have time, I'll be suing you for damages over the crochet dress my mother left me. You might want to start figuring out where to get the money."
