Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 321

Effie's eyes narrowed as she said, "She's brought this on herself. It's not the first time she's pulled something like this. Honestly, what does it have to do with me?"

Annabel tossed her hair, agreeing, "Exactly. Let's just go. Suddenly, I've lost my appetite for this place."

"Yeah, let's."

Suzan shot Effie a glare, her tone dripping with mockery. "Are you blind, or just careless? Can't you see I'm pregnant? Or did you do that on purpose?"

Effie met her gaze coolly. "Suzan, being pregnant isn't a free pass to act like a tyrant. You can't just use it as an excuse to do whatever you want."

Suzan snorted, her hand protectively on her belly. "What's wrong, Effie? Jealous, are you? Maybe you'd like to be in my shoes, but that would require you being able to get pregnant in the first place." She eyed Effie with smug satisfaction.

Annabel wrinkled her nose in disgust, covering her mouth with her hand. "God, who let a sewer rat in here? The smell coming from your mouth is unbearable."
