Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 384

Effie turned to leave with her grandmother in tow.

But when Hanson heard they were planning to buy from another dealership, he grew agitated and rushed to block their way.

"What do you want from us?" Effie's voice was cold and steady. "You won't let us make a purchase, so we're leaving. If you keep blocking me, I'll call the police."

She pulled out her phone, but Hanson lunged, trying to snatch it from her hand.

Lenora, who witnessed the scene, shot a nervous glance at the man standing behind them. "Manager, this is getting out of hand, isn't it?"

The manager replied curtly, “Lenora, stay out of it."

Still, Lenora hesitated only a moment before instinctively hurrying toward Effie.

Just then, a man appeared at the entrance, his voice ringing out, "Hold on! Is this really how you treat customers? All of you-stop this right now!"

Effie recognized the man and gave him a polite nod. "Mr. Patterson."
