The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving novel Chapter 149

Originally, that group of people had been enthusiastically greeting Lucas as they walked him inside.

As they walked, they complimented, "Mr. Grant, you and Ms. Moore are truly a perfect match. It's an honor for Silux to have both of you here."

"Mr. Grant, Ms. Moore, please follow me this way—your seats have been arranged."

…

Evelyn spoke unexpectedly, interrupting their words. As a result, several pairs of eyes turned toward her.

These were all seasoned veterans of high society. They gave Evelyn a once-over, but didn't recall any information about her. As such, someone asked, "You're Miss…"

Evelyn looked quietly at Lucas, but still answered them, "I'm Evelyn Reed from the Flying Seal Group."

The executives came to a realization. "Oh, Flying Seal Group. But, Ms. Reed, are you familiar with Mr. Grant?"

If they weren't familiar with each other, why would she call him by his name and ask to speak with him?

Bluntly put, Lucas was the highest-profile guest present at today's event. Even if Evelyn was from the Flying Seal Group, she wasn't on the same level as him. She also wasn't on the same level as Sebastian. Was she ignorant, or were they personally acquainted?

Evelyn didn't respond this time.

How could she possibly answer a question like that? Should she say they were husband and wife? Lucas might not spare her pride.

Tiffany's gentle face showed little expression. She merely smiled ambiguously. She raised her head to look at Lucas, whose thoughts were unreadable, and let go of his arm. "I'll head inside and wait for you, Lucas."

She was poised, generous, and composed.

She had no interest in fighting Evelyn.

Evelyn had deliberately approached Lucas in public today to assert some kind of connection. Though Tiffany disliked it, she found it beneath her to make an issue of it.

She hadn't looked at Evelyn even once as if Evelyn were invisible.

Lucas hummed in reply and nodded slowly. He then brushed past Evelyn.

A gust of cold wind could be felt as he did so, stinging Evelyn's face like needles.

Those Silux executives, who had been watching the scene with interest, exchanged glances.

It was obvious that Lucas didn't spare her pride at all. If it had been about business, he would never have responded so coldly. Especially considering Flying Seal Group's recent rise in prominence, he shouldn't have rejected her.

Still, whatever the case, everyone knew how to keep up appearances. They gave Evelyn a polite nod and then made their way into the main venue.

Evelyn didn't care what any of them thought.
