Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 470

Effie spoke as she handed her business card to Mr. Hanley.

When Mr. Hanley saw her title, his eyes lit up with recognition.

“Designer Bagnold,” he said, “you’ve been doing even better since you left your previous firm.”

Effie smiled, thinking to herself that she agreed wholeheartedly.

She said to Mr. Hanley, “If you ever need anything, just give me a call.”

“I will,” he replied.

Mitchell watched as Effie and Mr. Hanley left together, his gaze darkening, a complicated emotion flickering in his eyes.

Why did everyone keep saying Effie was doing better since she left him? Was it really so awful when they were together?

“Marian, do you even know what you’re doing?!”

Once everyone else had left, Suzan finally lost her composure. “Because of you, we just lost an important client!”

And it was Effie who swooped in and took that client, which made the sting even worse for Suzan.

Marian looked at Suzan with wide, innocent eyes. “I told you I can’t stand these tedious networking events. You’re the one who dragged me here. So why blame me when things go wrong?”

Marian continued, “I’m a designer—I have my pride, too. You’re the one who put me in a position to get scolded. I haven’t even started complaining, but you’re already blaming me?”

Suzan had never met someone so impossible to reason with.

She said, “Marian, if you keep this up, I’ll—”

Marian stared back, utterly unafraid. “Are you sure about that?”

Suzan felt as if someone had gripped her by the throat; for a moment, she was speechless.
