Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 63

Because of the plagiarism scandal, Suzan had become a pariah-no one wanted anything to do with her, and she hadn't dared to set foot outside in days.

Mitchell had already pulled some strings to wipe her name from the trending searches, but the damage was done. The story had been out there too long, and too many people had already seen it.
