Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 392

The next morning at work, Effie was startled when Shirley hurried over to her—her left cheek was swollen and red.

Effie rushed to her, alarmed. “What happened? Are you okay?”

The others in the office watched, clearly expecting a scene. Everyone knew things had soured between Shirley and Effie, so seeing Effie so concerned looked a lot like she was throwing herself at someone who wanted nothing to do with her.

But to everyone's surprise, Shirley collapsed into Effie’s arms and burst into tears. “Effie, I did it. I finally got all the evidence we needed.”

Effie wrapped her arms around Shirley, speaking gently. “You did great. But who hit you? Was it Peter? Or Irving Butler?”

Shirley sniffled. “It was Peter. He said if I’d agree to be with him, I could climb the ranks in no time. I turned him down, and he slapped me.”

Effie’s eyes widened with concern. “Are you alright? Did he hurt you anywhere else?”

If Peter had really done this, she thought, he deserved whatever was coming to him.

Shirley managed a shaky smile. “Don’t worry, I kicked him where it hurts and called the cops. He’s probably still at the station right now.”

Effie gave her a thumbs up, wincing inwardly at the mental image.

“Well done. Let’s make sure the police have everything they need.”

Shirley nodded. “I’ve already talked to them and handed over all the evidence.”

“Brilliant work!”
