Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 274

Two people trailed behind her—Isabel and Isabel's manager, Carole.

Usually, Isabel had that unmistakable celebrity aura, but today, standing beside this woman, she seemed more like an assistant than a star.

It was like watching the moon and the stars together in the sky.

No matter how dazzling the stars might be, once the moon appears, the stars simply fade into the background.

That was exactly the dynamic between Isabel and this woman now.

“Have you no shame? Brawling with another man here—over… a woman?” The woman's gaze landed on Effie's face, and for a moment, even she was taken aback by how striking Effie looked.

A moment ago, Effie had her back to her, so all she noticed was Effie's graceful figure and captivating poise. But now, seeing her face for the first time—it was just as breathtaking. Clearly, Effie was no “Beethoven.”

A woman like this was more than enough to make men lose their minds.

Honestly, just two men fighting for her seemed almost insufficient.

The woman thought, she could see a few more joining in.

She took off her sunglasses and greeted Effie with an open, confident smile. “Hi, I'm Annabel. Annabel, from Annabel's Couture.”

Effie stared at her for a beat, momentarily stunned.

Beneath the sunglasses, Annabel's face was striking—bold makeup, sharp features, radiating the kind of energy you'd expect from a wildly successful businesswoman.

“What's wrong? Speechless?” Annabel grinned, her tone teasing. “Don't worry, I'm used to it. No one can keep their cool when they see me—hence the sunglasses every day.”

Effie had collected herself by now. “Hi, I'm Effie.”

She didn't try to hide her reaction. “You're honestly beautiful.”
