The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving novel Chapter 153

Even with Evelyn's usually good temper, she couldn't help but feel surprised and displeased by Brandon's remark.

She truly didn't understand why Brandon harbored such strong contempt toward her.

Evelyn didn't shy away. Calmly looking at him, she asked bluntly, "Have I offended you in the past, Mr. Connor?"

Her gaze was frosty, yet her tone remained steady, without a trace of anger.

However, Brandon didn't take it as a sign of composure. In his eyes, Evelyn simply felt guilty and didn't dare confront him head-on. After all, he had personally witnessed her "seductive" behavior.

"No. You and I are not acquainted enough to speak of offenses," he replied.

Evelyn furrowed her brows. Then, where did his baseless accusations come from?

Even Sebastian's expression darkened slightly. He had always regarded Brandon as a capable figure—sharp in business, decisive in action, and supported by powerful elders. He had always admired him.

However, he did not expect that Brandon would look down on Evelyn like this..

"Then, why do you view her this way?" Sebastian frowned as he continued, "Treating a lady like this… Isn't it rather ungentlemanly?"

Saying he was ungentlemanly was putting it lightly. He was simply insulting.

Seeing Sebastian's protective stance, Brandon couldn't help but frown. What did Evelyn have besides a pretty face? She even managed to charm someone like Sebastian into losing his sense of judgment.

"Don't be mad, Mr. Hill. Just treat what I said as a slip of the tongue. There's no need for it to harm our relationship.

He figured Sebastian wouldn't hold a grudge over a mere assistant. They were both businessmen with shared interests, so they knew what was most important.

With that in mind, Brandon patted Sebastian's shoulder and offered a bit of advice.

"Mr. Hill, everyone sees what you're capable of. Flying Seal Group is a place where so many talents would die to join. I think you should take a closer look at whether the people around you are truly fit for their roles and whether they deserve your trust."

Women like Evelyn were never satisfied with the men they had. She had her hooks in Sebastian, yet she planned to make a move on Lucas. Brandon felt it necessary to give Sebastian a hint.
