The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving novel Chapter 22

Evelyn and Sebastian were standing side by side, seemingly engaged in conversation. Anyone with eyes would be able to tell that they were wearing matching scarves.

What reason did a man and a woman have to wear matching scarves?

Lucas looked up, just in time to see Evelyn patting Sebastian's back. The two of them appeared to be close.

Sneering, Mason said, "I've underestimated her! She doesn't have any talents, but she is great at seducing men."

Frowning, Jason turned to look at Evelyn once more. Compared to how Evelyn glared at him with disgust and hatred, the look she gave Sebastian made it clear that her feelings for Sebastian were different.

"Wait a minute. How does she know Sebastian?" Mason asked in confusion.

Sebastian's company, the Flying Seal Group, had only stabilized its growth in Clementon recently. However he had a solid background, and his capabilities had placed him among the elites in the country.

By all logic, someone like Evelyn would not have the opportunity to cross paths with Sebastian.

"Earth to Lucas?" Mason turned to look at Lucas.

Lucas nonchalantly looked at the time, seeming unconcerned about what was happening on the other side of the parking lot. "I'll send Tiffany home first."

Tiffany seemed to be lost in thought. Lucas had brought her along to meet a few influential figures within the aerospace industry. And yet, Evelyn had appeared at the place where they had lunch.

Evelyn was coincidentally involved with Sebastian, and they had also seen him with her by chance. When there were many coincidences, it meant there was a chance everything that happened was deliberate.

"No wonder Mr. Hill refused to meet with me today," she remarked.

Mason and Jason turned to look at her. “What do you mean?”

She explained calmly, "Everything makes sense if Evelyn and Mr. Hill are acquainted with each other."

"Did Evelyn bring her personal feelings into the mix?" Mason quickly guessed at what Tiffany was hinting at. "She hates you, so she decided to tell Sebastian some nonsense?"

"Is Sebastian the type to lose all rationality over a woman?" Jason asked in confusion.

Tiffany shook her head, saying, "It doesn't matter. I'm sure I'll be able to change his mind once he sees how capable I am."

Mason gave her a thumbs up, complimenting, "It's amazing that you're still able to stay calm and composed."

Lucas remained quiet as he stared at Evelyn.

Sensing a sharp gaze on her, she refused to turn around. Despite knowing that he was staring at her, she did not care.

He then took out his phone and planned to open his chat with Evelyn.

The housekeeper gave his question some thought before they answered, "She probably stopped coming home since last Tuesday."

He lowered his gaze, trying to recall what had happened that day. In the end, he realized it was the day after he had celebrated Tiffany's birthday.

Ever since that day onward, Evelyn acted differently, almost as if she changed into a completely different person.

He stood there and thought for a while before he smirked. He clicked out of his chat with Evelyn, deciding not to ask her about it.

Once he entered the bathroom, he glanced at the bathtub filled with warm water.

In the past, Evelyn would always add all kinds of essential oils to his bath to calm him down. However, there were no such things in his bath anymore.

He had lost his interest in having a warm bath when his phone suddenly vibrated. He looked at it and turned to head out.

The housekeeper asked, "Mr. Grant, are you planning to head out now?"

With his head lowered, Lucas replied to someone's message. He then said, "You all can just clock out now. I won't be staying here tonight."
