As for Lucas' attitude, aside from the initial shock, Evelyn no longer felt much of anything.
From the moment they decided on a hidden marriage, they had set ground rules. She had no reason to tear that veil off in public.
If she acted without caring and openly declared her identity as his wife in front of so many people just now, and Tiffany was accused of being a mistress, Lucas might not have spared her or the Reeds.
In the end, her rationality would always win out.
Since they were attending the same event tonight, she would still have a chance to speak with Lucas.
After sorting out her thoughts, Evelyn followed the crowd inside.
Once she arrived at the main hall of the launch event, Sebastian spotted her right away and waved her over.
When Evelyn walked up, he patted the seat beside him. "Sit here. Let's see if Silux Materials has made any breakthroughs in material technology. It's a good company to evaluate."
Evelyn, with a head full of thoughts, nodded. "So, is Silux Mr. Connor's company?"
Brandon Connor was the only child in his family. Instead of going into politics, he entered business. With high-ranking relatives often appearing in national news offering guidance, he was indeed a person worth considering for a partnership.
"Want to go say hello in a bit?" Sebastian recalled that the last time they visited the research institute district. Brandon seemed to have some minor misunderstanding about Evelyn and mistakenly assumed she wasn't very professional.
If they talked again this time, the misunderstanding would surely be cleared up, considering Evelyn's insight into the industry and her professional analysis of Silux Materials.
Evelyn had no objections.
She hadn't taken Brandon's previous "criticism" of her for touching the U.N2 combat drone the wrong way. In fact, she agreed with where he was coming from. That incident hadn't been a big deal to her..
While preparing to greet Brandon, Evelyn's gaze wandered across the venue. She easily spotted Lucas and Tiffany surrounded by top executives, engaged in polite conversation.
