The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving

Lucas didn't take it seriously. "Ignore her. She's spoiled."

Mason suddenly remembered that post because of what Fiona said.

He immediately scooted over, poured her a drink, and coaxed gently, "Come on, tell me. Who's that lady in the post with your brother the other day?"

Jason's eyes flickered. Even Tiffany couldn't help but look toward Jason.

She wondered why Jason didn't tell them anything if he was dating. She had

asked him about it before, but he never responded.

Lucas lazily cast him a glance. There was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Fiona instinctively glanced at her brother.

He had already told her that there was nothing going on between him and Evelyn. Evelyn also disliked such misunderstandings and forbade her from saying anything misleading.noveldrama

With that in mind, she blinked, explaining, "She's just a lady we bumped into. No one important."

Mason instantly let out a disappointed sigh.

Tiffany raised her brow at that. She knew it. Jason wouldn't hide something like that.

"If I recall, Jason was smiling happily at her in your photo," Lucas mentioned suddenly as he loosened the buttons on his riding shirt.

His words were enough to make everyone silent.

Jason stiffened. He replied in a manner that sounded like he was joking, "It's probably because she's very pretty."

This time, everyone looked at him with varying expressions.

Tiffany gave Jason a glance. She had never heard Jason praise any woman other than her before...

After a week of rest, Evelyn returned to work.

She felt that several data sets from the main project she had taken over after joining Flying Seal Group needed to be retested. The project's investor outreach would have to be postponed accordingly. However, the side tasks had to be done in tandem.

On Wednesday, Flying Seal Group received an invitation to Silux Technology's new materials launch.

As a technical shareholder, Evelyn attended the event with Sebastian.

If Silux Materials offered a significant advantage, it was worth considering bringing them into their drone production.

When they arrived downstairs at Silux, Evelyn saw a call coming in from Maria.

She glanced at Sebastian and said, "You can go ahead."

Sebastian nodded and was ushered into the hall.

Evelyn answered the phone. Maria's voice was cheerful as she said, "Evie, have you gone back to work?"

"Yes, Grandma. Is something the matter?"

"Yes. Do you know that Valentine's Day is coming up soon?"

Evelyn paused slightly before replying, "I didn't pay attention..."

After all, she had never celebrated it.

Maria immediately said, "Don't just bury yourself in work. You and Lucas haven't made any plans?"

"No."

"That won't do! It's such a lovely occasion. How can you two just let it slip by like this? If you haven't made any plans, then I'll help you."

Maria was dissatisfied with Lucas' lack of care. She had to teach him a lesson today.

Upon hearing this, Evelyn lowered her gaze. Her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of helplessness appeared in her eyes.

She was indeed frustrated. Lucas' decision to hide the truth from his family greatly troubled her.

Maria didn't say much more and simply instructed, "Alright, get back to work. Leave this matter to me!"

Without giving Evelyn a chance to respond, she hung up decisively.

Evelyn stood there with a frown on her face.

Just as she was wondering about what to do, a car stopped nearby. She recognized the vehicle and the license plate.

Lucas' tall figure came into view.

His gaze rested on Evelyn for two seconds. Then, he casually looked away and turned to open the car door beside him. Tiffany took his arm and got out of the car gracefully..

Several senior executives from Silux came out to greet them personally.

The group of people then walked past Evelyn and went inside.

Lucas showed no intention of greeting her from the beginning.

As he and Tiffany brushed past her, surrounded by the crowd, Evelyn calmly pursed her lips. Without dodging the attention of the others, she said, "Lucas, I have something to ask you. Can you give me a few minutes?"
