Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 53

All eyes turned to Effie, and in each gaze was a flash of astonishment.

She looked breathtaking—like a proud white swan, regal and pure, her beauty impossible to ignore.

Not far away, Mitchell and Suzan had also turned to stare, their faces frozen with not just admiration, but outright shock.

The heir’s date tonight was... Effie?

How could that be?

When did Effie manage to get close to Lyman?

And now the two of them had arrived together at the party.

Lyman was famously low-key, rarely attending events like this. Yet here he was, walking in with a date on his arm, leaving everyone utterly stunned.

Mitchell’s brow furrowed, his gaze flickering between Effie and Lyman, his mind swirling with confusion.

Effie had always been striking, but tonight she seemed transformed—radiant, as if she’d stepped into a new life overnight, impossible to ignore.

Mitchell found himself wondering when Effie had even met Lyman. Someone of Lyman’s stature was out of reach for most; how had Effie managed this?

Hadn’t they just broken up? And already she’d found someone new?

Wasn’t this a little too fast?

Or had she lined up her next prospect before even breaking things off?

The thought sent a chill through Mitchell; his dark eyes grew cold, a storm brewing beneath the surface.

Suzan noticed the change in him, her own expression turning uneasy.
