Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 139

Overnight, the crochet industry in Greenfield City was thrown into disarray. Prosper Stitch Group had invested heavily to dominate the raw materials supply. The first to feel the repercussions was Refined Threads Co.

With the year-end rush underway, securing raw materials was more crucial than ever. But now, their supply had been completely cut off.

It was a devastating blow.

Simon learned of the crisis through Melody & Loops Creations.

Without wasting a moment, he called Edward directly. "Mr. Moore, what's going on here?"

At that moment, Simon understood exactly what had happened. It turned out that Amelia had gone straight to Edward's father.

Struggling to keep his anger in check, Simon quickly called her. "Where are you right now?"

"Stay there. I'm coming."

A rush of excitement filled Amelia's chest. It seemed Simon still hadn't let go of her.

Just moments earlier, she had seen a news report. Tonight, the crochet industry was in turmoil, and Prosper Stitch Group was among the companies affected.

Turmoil?

Was Edward already making his move?

Did this mean Simon had realized her worth over Janice and was finally coming for her?

Amelia's heart swelled with hope.
