Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 509

Lionel watched as Suzan burst into tears, his brow tightening in clear annoyance.

He'd never been fond of women who acted fragile, always crying at the drop of a

hat. All that weeping grated on his nerves. When he'd first reunited with Suzan,

he'd managed a little patience. But ever since doubts about her true identity had

crept in, his tolerance for her tears had all but vanished.

"I just said a couple of things. There's no need to blow it all out of proportion,"

Lionel said sharply.

Teresa glanced at Yvette, and the two women exchanged a knowing, amused

smile. They were well aware of Lionel's temperament, and neither made any

move to comfort Suzan-in fact, they were almost waiting for Lionel to lose his

patience with her.

Suzan's heart skipped a beat; she hadn't expected her usual tactic to fail her so

quickly. She scrubbed at her tears, looking up at Lionel with a pitiful expression,

her voice trembling as she said, "I'm sorry, Uncle. I shouldn't have spoken out of

turn or upset you. I promise, it won't happen again."
