Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 51

Vera’s greatest wish these days was for her precious daughter to marry into a wealthy family.

Now that Suzan had finally managed to get close to Mitchell, Vera was determined not to mess things up.

Still, she couldn’t shake her doubts. Suzan’s relationship with Mitchell hadn’t been made public yet—so how did this kidnapper know about it?

This was just too strange.

“What are you talking about? I don’t understand,” Vera feigned ignorance, doing her best to act clueless.

She wouldn’t admit to anything, no matter what.

The bald man glanced at his phone for instructions and sneered. “Is that so? Well, in that case, I’ll just send this recording to the Lloyd family. I wonder what they’ll think when they hear it, Mrs. Bagnold. Are you sure you don’t want to pay up?”

Vera was so furious she nearly had a heart attack.

Just her luck to have crossed paths with a monster like this.

She snapped, “All I have is fifteen million—that’s every penny of my savings.”

Effie gave the bald man a short nod.

He gestured and said, “Alright, fifteen million. I’ll send you the account number now.”

With that, he hung up and promptly texted the bank details.

Lyman, watching, couldn’t help but ask, “Do you really think she’ll send the money?”

He’d planned on getting revenge, but Effie clearly had a different idea—she was going to bleed Vera dry.

“She will. Her biggest dream is to see her daughter marry into the Lloyd family, and nothing matters more to her than money.”

Effie knew exactly where Vera’s weakness lay.

Vera had clawed her way up from being the other woman, but she’d never managed to break into the elite circles of Neo-Arcadia’s society wives.

Since she couldn’t do it herself, she pinned all her hopes on Suzan.
