Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 512

Effie was speechless.

It was a common mindset. People always assumed they would eventually find a use for unnecessary items, hoarding them until their closets were overflowing, only to realize they had thrown their money away.

When it came to finances, Grandmother Selma was incredibly practical. If an expense wasn't absolutely necessary, she wouldn't spend a single dime on it.

Effie had inherited that excellent habit. Before making any purchase, she always asked herself if she just wanted the item or if she truly needed it.

If it was merely a want, she left it on the shelf.

Shirley, however, was riding a wave of impulsive excitement and wasn't about to listen to reason.

While Shirley went into the fitting room, Effie gazed idly out the storefront window. Suddenly, she spotted Suzan walking by with a man.

A flicker of suspicion crossed Effie's gaze. From the back, the guy didn't look anything like Mitchell Lloyd.

Could it be that Suzan had already moved on to someone else?

Deciding it wasn't her problem, Effie quickly looked away.

Outside, Suzan had her arms crossed over her chest. "Hurry up, you're walking too slow," she snapped at the man.

The man looked at her with pure adoration, his hands full of shopping bags—clothes, purses, and everything else she had demanded.

"Right away, Ms. Bagnold. Could you maybe slow down just a little bit?"

"No, I'm in a hurry!"

Smiling indulgently, the man picked up his pace to match her hurried strides.

...

"Ta-da! How does this look?" Shirley asked, stepping out of the fitting room.

As a designer, Shirley naturally had an eye for fashion. She had chosen a pastel yellow windbreaker, pairing it with a vibrant orange base layer.

It was a clever combination—even if she unzipped the jacket when it got hot, the outfit would still look perfectly coordinated and stylish.
