Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 338

Effie and her grandmother let go of their mops at almost the exact same moment.

When Mitchell spotted them, he froze for a split second before reaching out a hand to Suzan. “Here, let me help you up.”

Suzan looked at him cautiously, unsure of his intentions. Still, under Mitchell’s steady gaze, she reached out her hand.

Mitchell gripped her firmly and pulled her up from the floor in one swift motion. “You okay? Can you walk?”

She had been pretending to be hurt, but the moment she heard Mitchell’s voice, her heart started racing uncontrollably, and her mind went blank.

Everyone always thought she schemed her way into Mitchell’s life because of his status. But they were all wrong—it wasn’t like that at all.

She had fallen for Mitchell the very first time they met, even though she knew he was Effie’s boyfriend. That didn’t stop her. She dove in headfirst, learned from Vera’s calculated moves, and slowly but surely, won Mitchell over.

“I’m fine,” she mumbled.

“Good. Then let’s get out of here,” Mitchell said, guiding her away.

Suzan was stunned. By the time she realized what was happening, Mitchell had practically lifted her off her feet—her toes barely grazed the ground.

She glanced up at him, confused. “Mitchell, why? Why aren’t you letting me settle things with Effie?”

Mitchell’s gaze darkened slightly. “Do you know who brought Effie and the others here tonight?”

Suzan shook her head, but then a thought struck her. Her expression changed in an instant.

She looked at Mitchell. “Wait... was it Lyman?”

“That’s right,” Mitchell replied. “I saw Lyman outside the private room just now—he was on the phone. He’ll be heading over to Effie and the others any minute.”
