Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 388

Although Lionel had some clout in Blackmire, things didn't always go his way once he crossed into the mainland.

Take this time, for instance. He tried to get a land development project off the ground, only to find himself stonewalled at every turn.

Suzan, eager to prove herself in front of Lionel, did everything she could to dig up information on the Irwin family.

To her surprise, her efforts actually paid off-she found out that Mrs. Lawrence would be celebrating her birthday in a few days. Not only that, but Mrs. Lawrence was known for her fondness for Zenith Aroma's fragrances, so Suzan made a point to come by the boutique and buy some herself.

Suzan remembered that Mitchell had once bought the same fragrance for a business partner. Back then, when everyone else came up empty-handed, only Mitchell managed to secure a bottle—and that was how he clinched the partnership so smoothly.

When the shop assistant spotted Mitchell, she froze mid-step.

She'd been sure she'd imagined it, but now, seeing him up close, there was no mistake.

Suzan had claimed Mitchell was her boyfriend?

Then who on earth was Effie?

Mitchell greeted the staff, "Hi, I've bought fragrances here before. I'm also a Black Card member."

The last time, the staff had treated him with the utmost respect-warm, polite, eager to please.
