Chapter 82

If Effie and Lyman ended up together, would the Bagnold family ever have to worry about money or business again?

Some people in the room were already scheming, eager to cozy up to them. Mitchell stood silently in a corner, but he saw everything that had just happened.

Suzan noticed the stormy look on Mitchell's face and didn't dare approach him.

But she knew where all of this started: Effie.

That wretched woman-always flirting, always managing to seduce men.

And now, unbelievably, she'd managed to get Lyman's attention.

So what if she had, though? Lyman was only toying with her. There was no way he was serious.
