Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 491

The driver glanced between Effie Bagnold and Maurice, eyes full of barely concealed curiosity. He looked like someone who'd stumbled onto some juicy gossip and was eager for the details.

"Sure thing,” he replied, and off they went.

Maurice and Nita, still clinging to each other, were about to climb out when Nita suddenly froze. She pointed toward a figure nearby. "Effie, isn't that your husband?"

Effie followed her gaze, puzzled—and, to her surprise, spotted Lyman Etheridge standing there.
