Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 219

Effie had no intention of wasting any more time with Nelly. She said briskly, "I've sent you my purchase record. Check your work email."

Nelly gave a disdainful snort, pulled out her phone, and glanced at the screen- her expression shifted ever so slightly.

"Nelly, you drive a Porsche. Don't tell me you can't even afford to pay me back a measly thousand dollars?"

Nelly's eyes flickered. That Porsche wasn't even hers.

"Fine, I'll pay. Just wait."

It wasn't long before Effie received the payment from Nelly.

Shirley shot Effie a thumbs-up. "You're amazing, Effie."

"Did you know Nelly would try something and that's why you brought that scarf?” Shirley asked, her eyes wide with curiosity.
