The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving

Upon hearing that, Justine scrunched her face angrily, trying to come up with a comeback.

Evelyn shook her head and stopped Justine before she could say anything. She also noticed Tiffany looking at her at the same time.

It was obvious that Tiffany had heard what Lily said earlier.

Evelyn raised her brow and let out a faint smile. She then turned to Lucas and Mason beside her and said, "I'll head in first."

Her elegance and composure made Evelyn seem all the more awkward and humiliated.

She could kind of guess what Tiffany was thinking.

In the end, however, it didn't matter. After all, she didn't want to be with Lucas anymore.

Internal conflicts wouldn't solve any problem.

That whole fiasco also ruined Derek's mood. Evelyn came all the way here and made such a huge scene. What would Lucas think of him now? How was he supposed to continue the conversation?

Shaking his head, he was heartbroken by what Evelyn had done. He said to Lucas, "Mr. Grant, we'll meet another day. You must come to my place sometime for a meal."

Lucas remained silent, his expression even seemed somber.

This made Derek hate Evelyn's reckless behavior even more. Lucas was

obviously upset because of this whole mess she had caused.

He shot her one last glare, then turned around and walked away.

On the contrary, Lily was rather pleased with Evelyn's current predicament. She figured that the woman named Tiffany from earlier definitely came from a powerful background.

She looked so stunning and capable. The moment she showed up, Lucas' attention was entirely drawn to her. How could Evelyn possibly compete with that?

Lily let out a sarcastic scoff and was about to leave.

Evelyn looked at her coldly. "Did I say we're done?"

Lily grew impatient. "Aren't we?"

Evelyn was struggling to hold back her overwhelming rage. She said in a stone- cold voice, "Do you want me to take it to the cops?"

Lily's expression changed slightly.

"Evie..." A big warm hand suddenly grasped Evelyn's wrist. She had no idea when Blake showed up.

He looked at Evelyn with a subtle smile. "Just let it go."

His interference made the tension within her even more suffocating.

She tried to break free from his grip. "Let go of me!"

He stared at her and said, "Lily is my sister too. Can't you just show her some mercy?"

Evelyn found it ironic that Blake, who used to claim that she meant everything to him, was now turning against her.

In fact, he fully understood that she did nothing wrong. He simply wasn't on her side anymore.

A few waiters kept peeking in their direction, curious to see what the commotion was about.

Mason was genuinely entertained by the situation that just unfolded.

Clicking his tongue twice as he headed back to the private room, he said, "At least Ms. Harrison knew when to back off after being told off. It's too bad that somebody here couldn't understand this."

Blake shot him a cold glare. He then turned to Lucas who didn't seem too bothered by whatever just happened in front of him.

Holding Evelyn's wrist in one hand, he smiled at Lucas and said, "Sorry about this, Mr. Grant. Evie has always had a temper. Please don't take this too seriously."

Lucas clearly didn't care about any of this. He merely gave them a thoughtful glance.

Blake had managed to calm her down. Since they grew up together, it would make sense for her to listen to him willingly.

After giving a faint nod, Lucas turned and went back to his own private room. He couldn't care less about how Evelyn and Lily were going to resolve their conflict.

He didn't say a single word to defend Evelyn from start to end.

It was hard to believe that he was her husband.

"Come with me." Blake frowned as he noticed that there were still people who kept staring at them. He grabbed her hand and led her outside.

Lily was staring at his tall silhouette as he left with Evelyn. Biting her bottom lip, she attempted to chase after him but was stopped by Justine.

To reach the exit, Evelyn would have to pass the private room where Lucas and the others were in.

As she walked past, she could hear Tiffany's voice coming from inside. "My mother will be coming back from overseas soon. She booked a reservation at a restaurant and wanted to see you there. Do you have time for that?"

"I'll let you decide the date and time. It's no problem at all," Lucas said without hesitation.

Evelyn stumbled for a bit. She lowered her gaze and let Blake pull her toward the exit.

She was hoping that Lucas could make time to visit Deborah and Leonard with her, but he rejected her request outright. He couldn't bother to give her even the slightest halfhearted response.noveldrama

Yet, he agreed right away when Tiffany's mother wanted to see him.

If he was already planning to meet her mother, it meant that he was dead set on getting a divorce with Evelyn and marrying Tiffany, wasn't he?
