Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 253

Hanley said, “Mr. Etheridge has never been married. If he ever tied the knot, the whole world would know. If you want to make excuses, at least come up with a better one.”

With that, Hanley grabbed Nita by the arm and dragged her toward the changing room.

Nita struggled, but his grip was ironclad.

Effie tried to rush over to help, but Nita shouted, “Effie, run! Don't worry about me!”

With a desperate look, Nita urged Effie to go get help and not to risk herself.

Hanley sneered, “Didn't expect Miss Nita to be so self-sacrificing.”

He yanked Nita inside, slamming the door behind them.

Effie stumbled forward, ready to dash off for help, when suddenly Nita's cry of pain pierced the air.

There was a heavy thud, the sound of a body colliding with something solid.

Effie's heart clenched. She glanced around frantically and spotted a fire alarm case nearby, a fire extinguisher inside.

Without hesitation, she smashed the glass and grabbed the extinguisher.

The moment she pulled it free, the fire alarm blared through the building.

Effie didn't care. Clutching the extinguisher, she charged into the room.

She sprayed Hanley straight in the face, blinding him. Nita seized the moment, kicked Hanley hard, and spat through gritted teeth, “That's what you get for laying a hand on me!”

Hanley collapsed to the ground, writhing in agony.

“You okay?”

Nita bit her lip and shook her head. Her back throbbed where she'd hit it, but she didn't want Effie to worry, so she insisted she was fine.

Neither of them expected Hanley to go down so easily—one kick and he wasn't moving.

As they hurried out, they nearly collided with Lyman, Vinson Elliott, and Randell, all standing in the hallway.
