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

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

"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
