Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 441

Effie Bagnold could sense Grace McCloud’s resistance to her presence, but she just smiled, saying nothing.

Grace sat down unwillingly, perching on the edge of her chair as if ready to flee at any moment.

Just then, footsteps echoed down the hallway. Annabel McCloud and Fenton arrived almost at the same time, followed closely by Vinson Elliott, Randell Hoffman, and a few others.

Vinson glanced at Annabel and Fenton with mock accusation. “You two are so weird. I was calling after you the whole way and the more I called, the faster you walked. What’s up with that?”

When she said “the other guy,” she shot Fenton a glare that could have bored holes right through him.

Vinson’s eyes went wide. He slapped a hand over his mouth, as if he’d just discovered some scandalous secret. “Wait, you two…”
