Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 67

Lindy was in high spirits. She never had a daughter of her own, but her daughter- in-law had filled that gap in her heart perfectly.

She ended up picking out two more outfits-it truly felt like a successful shopping spree.

Across the store, Mrs. Lloyd caught sight of herself in the mirror. Though she was dressed head-to-toe in designer labels, standing next to Lindy, she looked like a nouveau riche wannabe. There was no denying it; her taste simply couldn't compare.

Especially when it came to the two outfits Suzan had chosen for her gaudy, mismatched colors that made her head ache just from looking at them.

Suddenly, even Suzan started to grate on her nerves.

Suzan noticed Mrs. Lloyd's darkening expression and wisely kept quiet.

Inwardly, Suzan fumed. This old woman is impossible to please.

But when she thought of Mitchell, she swallowed her frustration.

Lindy and Effie left the store chatting and laughing, and Mrs. Lloyd was left fuming. Effie was really becoming a thorn in her side. How did that girl manage to charm Lindy so easily?
