Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 105

Mitchell's expression darkened, his voice tinged with irritation. "Effie, do you even know what kind of man Lyman is? Someone like him could never be serious about you. Don't let yourself get played."

Effie let out a cold laugh, her eyes sharp with mockery. "Mitchell, have you forgotten? You're the one who walked away from me. So what makes you think you have any right to meddle in my life now? I know exactly where I stand with Lyman. I don't need your warnings."

Mitchell's face twisted with anger as he shot to his feet. "Don't be so naive, Effie! Lyman's not serious about you-he's just having his fun. You're nothing more than a passing distraction to him!"
