Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 510

Just outside this apartment building was a giant billboard with Maurice's face on it,

drawing fans from all over who'd come just to snap a photo.

Who would have guessed that the man bundled up so tightly in front of them was

actually Maurice himself?

Right now, Maurice was holding Effie in his arms. Her head pressed against his

hand, and beneath his palm was a pile of shattered ceramic.

Only moments ago, Effie had stumbled straight toward a vase, but Maurice had

noticed just in time, shielding her from the worst-which gave Suzan the perfect

opportunity to act.

The commotion drew everyone's attention; nearly every eye in the lobby turned

toward them.

The moment people recognized Maurice, fans scrambled for their phones,

shouting excitedly, "That's Maurice! It's really him!"

There was no time for Maurice to keep up the act or deny his identity anymore.

Calm and collected, he helped Effie to her feet. "Are you alright?"

Still shaken, Effie shook her head. "I'm fine, but your hand-"

Maurice's hands were famous-long, graceful, with strikingly elegant fingers.

Fans adored them so much, his management had insured them for millions.
