The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving novel Chapter 4

Evelyn froze. Then, with pale, pursed lips, she clarified, "Is that what Lucas wants?"

"Yes."

In truth, Michael did not like Evelyn. Although she was focused and diligent at handling her work, she had used a despicable method to sleep with Lucas, forcing him to marry her in the process as well.

Women like her were absolutely disgusting.

"Mr. Grant has instructed that you're not allowed to go anywhere until the public opinion dies down. If you fail to do so, just remember that Bluezen does not keep useless employees!"

Evelyn understood that Lucas did not love her, but she never thought he would pull off such a trick right before their divorce.

How could he ask his wife to take care of the public opinions about his lover when the rumors were actually true?

Anger immediately coursed through her, and the pain in her stomach intensified. Using the table to steady herself and hide her discomfort, she mockingly looked at the name tag on her table.

She took her nametag and wrapped the lanyard around it. "I know Bluezen does not keep useless employees, but I can't handle this task. I'll resign," she mentioned impassively as she placed the nametag on the side.

When she was preparing the divorce agreement last night, she also handed in her resignation letter.

The resignation process was quite complicated, so there was a high chance that her letter had not reached Lucas' hand. However, she refused to work on Tiffany's case no matter what.

"Don't come to me for anything related to Tiffany. Mr. Grant can arrange for someone else to take over that task. I'm sure there's plenty of people available considering how big Bluezen is."

Michael was filled with shock. Was Evelyn resigning? Was she really willing to give up on a job that positioned her nearer to Lucas?

Perhaps it was another one of her tricks to attract Lucas' attraction. Maybe she was backing off strategically to play the long game.

He mulled over the possibilities as he returned to the top floor.

Lucas' schedule was extremely packed, and he was currently preparing for his meetup with the president of Woodlands Technology, Landon Davis.

"Mr. Grant, this is the contract we've drafted for Woodlands Technology. You can take a look at it."

Lucas skimmed through the document and asked, "How's the PR department handling Tiffany's case?"

Michael froze momentarily before he stuttered, "Ms. Reed…"

Lucas lowered his gaze, seemingly lost in thought. Suddenly, his expression turned frigid before he stood up abruptly.

"Tell her that we can approve it, but she must handle Tiffany's case first. If Tiffany's name isn't cleared and rumors get into the wrong circle, she'll have to deal with the consequences."

Michael was extremely confused. Lucas had always wanted Evelyn out of Bluezen, so why was he unwilling to approve Evelyn's resignation now?

"Oh, Ms. Reed has also sent me a copy of…"

Lucas was answering a call when he heard Lucas' words. He did not even turn his head as he waved his hand, replying, "Just deal with it like you always do."

That usually meant that he was to ignore everything Evelyn had sent Lucas.

Evelyn used to deliver clothes, cufflinks, and handmade gifts to the office for Lucas. Since one of Bluezen's prioritized projects was on drones, she had even made a model of a drone for Lucas.

Lucas did not even spare those things a glance as he placed them in a cabinet, allowing them to collect dust. The things inside there would only be used during emergencies.

Hence, Michael threw the unopened document into the cabinet as he had always done. With that, it seemed that all of Evelyn's effort had gone down the drain.
