The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving novel Chapter 86

Not only was Tiffany not as young as Evelyn back then, but her drone could only be used as a recreational model for serious drone enthusiasts. It was not on the same level as Evelyn's combat drone at all.

Of course, Tiffany was still leaps and bounds ahead of the average geniuses.

Graham noticed Sebastian's smirk, so he shot an icy gaze at him, who merely shrugged. Why was Graham mad at him? He was not the one who forced Evelyn to get married.

"I know I still need to work harder." Tiffany quickly came to her senses and replied humbly. She could tell what Graham was implying.

Her achievements were not impressive enough for Graham at that moment. Therefore, she could not take the chance to ask him to look at her thesis. She could only save it for a later time.

Lucas understood the same thing as well, but he wore no emotions on his face. He just said calmly, "Take your time. You'll have plenty of opportunities in the future."

Tiffany quickly regained her composure. She knew she had many chances to prove herself.

After that, many senior executives from various companies came up to Lucas to have a toast with him, and Lucas continued socializing.

…

Evelyn was just done with her work when she received a message from Sebastian. He was in the mood to chat and sent a few messages in a row.

"My old man wasn't impressed by her. Tiffany would be highly sought after in any other company, but she's too ambitious. She wants to get in touch with experts like my father. I'm guessing she has suffered a blow.

"Lucas, on the other hand, is calm. He didn't interfere. I don't know if he's just confident in Tiffany, or if he already knew this would happen.

"If he knew Dad would have this reaction but was still willing to spend 200 million dollars to help Tiffany meet him, then he's definitely head over heels for her."

Evelyn did not feel much anymore.

Lucas was truly extremely good to Tiffany. The person he loved did not need to do anything because he would remove any obstacle for her.

However, Evelyn's efforts were all futile no matter how much she bore her soul to him.

Evelyn knew he would have a headache if he had too much to drink. She used to help him rub his temples and make him a banana smoothie to help his stomach feel better. But gone were those days.

She walked up to him but did not show any concern. She just asked in a business-like tone, "Lucas? Are you still able to talk to Grandma?"

He remained silent, as if he had fallen asleep.

Evelyn pursed her lips and felt a little helpless. She decided to ignore him. He would leave after he sober up.

She planned to go to bed, but as soon as she turned around, she felt a hand grabbing her wrist. The burning sensation from his palm sent a shiver down her spine.

Before Evelyn figured out what was happening, she was pulled into a hot and sturdy embrace.

She fell and sat on Lucas' lap as he hugged her waist tightly. She felt his hot breath on her lips.

Lucas put his hand behind Evelyn's neck and pulled her in. He kissed her lips and said in a deep, husky voice, "Don't go. I miss you…"
