Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 147

No wonder someone as unremarkable as Effie managed to land a designer position at The Etheridge Group—it turns out she's gotten close to Mr. Etheridge himself.

Nelly was determined to expose this, to let everyone see Effie for who she truly

was.

But she wasn't entirely sure yet. That's why she needed to test the waters first.

Effie's pen paused for an instant in her hand, but she quickly regained her composure.

She looked up, offering Nelly a polite yet distant smile. "You must be mistaken, Nelly. I spent the whole weekend at home."

Nelly gave a loaded "Oh?" and scrolled through her phone, pulling up a photo. "So, this isn't you then?"

The image was unmistakable-Effie and Lyman dining together at a resort restaurant.

It was just a side profile, but anyone who knew Effie could recognize her in a heartbeat.

Effie's heart skipped a beat, but she kept her expression calm. "Nelly, isn't it a bit inappropriate to sneak photos of people?"

Effie was genuinely annoyed; she hated the feeling of being watched.

She wasn't flustered, though. After all, she and Lyman were married.

If people found out, so be it.
