Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 399

Effie crossed her arms and said coolly, "Suzan, are you paranoid or something? You lost your baby, and now you want to blame that on me?"

No matter how you looked at it, Effie really couldn't be held responsible-directly or indirectly for what happened.

But Suzan had become obsessed with the idea. She was convinced that if she hadn't run into Effie that day, her baby would still be alive.

If that were the case, she would have married Mitchell without a hitch.

Now, though, with the baby gone, Mitchell was already starting to drift away from her.

If she hadn't begged him for ages, he wouldn't have come with her today at all.

And now, as Suzan and Effie stood there confronting each other, Mitchell didn't even bother to get out of the car. Pathetic.

At that moment, Lyman parked his car and strode over. Instinctively, he positioned himself protectively in front of Effie. "What's going on here?"

Suzan's voice came out shrill, almost hysterical. "Perfect timing. Keep your girlfriend in line-she's trying to steal my boyfriend!"

Her words were like nails on a chalkboard, teetering right on the edge of madness.

Lyman shot her a frigid glare, his eyes like daggers. "Watch your mouth," he said icily. "I won't hesitate to make sure you never use it again."
