Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 31

Mitchell froze for a moment at Effie's words-was that really how she saw him now?

Hadn't he once been the most important person in her life?

"Effie, don't forget-your grandmother's medical bills are still being paid by me. Without me, do you really think you'll find another man this generous?"

He raised his voice, trying to sound authoritative, but Effie's expression remained calm and unmoved.

"Mitchell, let's not kid ourselves. Even my grandmother's treatments are paid for with my own money-the dividends I earned at E&M. You haven't given me a cent these past few years. In fact, now's a good time for us to settle up."

Mitchell had the nerve to bring up money? The shamelessness was almost impressive.

He stared at her, his anger quickly turning to embarrassment. "Unbelievable," he snapped, before storming out and slamming the door behind him.

Effie stood there, her face serene.
