Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 348

Effie swung the door shut behind her, folding her arms across her chest as she leaned casually against the conference table. From her elevated perch, she looked down at Suzan, her gaze sharp as a knife, radiating a cold intensity.

Suzan met Effie's eyes and said, "About last night...I really owe you. You're the one who snapped Mitchell out of it. He came home and just broke down. I spent the whole night comforting him, but finally he saw things clearly."

She paused, then added meaningfully, "He said he finally knows who really matters to him."

Effie arched an eyebrow, her voice icy. "Are you done? If you're just here to gloat, I'm sorry to disappoint you-I don't feel a thing."

"No, that's not why I'm here." Suzan couldn't stop herself from glancing down and gesturing at her belly, which was already showing—she hardly needed to say it. She was pregnant, and anyone could tell.

"Actually, the reason I came today is because the baby's father and grandmother want to give a gift when the baby's born. I want it to be something special, meaningful-so I'm looking for the best designer."

She paused, her lips curving into a mocking smile. "You used to be a designer yourself, but it's a shame you're blacklisted."

Suzan's face darkened in an instant. Leave it to Effie to cut right to her sore spot.
