The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving novel Chapter 158

Evelyn didn't understand the market value.

Lucas casually set down his cup. "You can't put a price on joy. Bid for it."

Tiffany was momentarily stunned. Her lips then curled into a smile, and her eyes were full of warmth and sweetness.

She raised her paddle again, chin slightly raised. "50 million!"

Evelyn had been keeping an eye on Lucas since she made the offer. She saw that Tiffany had no intention of continuing, but Lucas gave her enough confidence and supported Tiffany no matter how much it cost.

In that instant, Evelyn paled, feeling an indescribable sense of suffocation. Her heart clenched, painful and numb.

Up front, Mason and the others were watching the situation with great interest. They all gave Evelyn meaningful looks as if silently speaking of her defeat and ridiculousness.

Did she even have the right to compete with Tiffany?

Flynn felt a complicated mix of emotions. He looked at Tiffany. Then, he leaned toward Mason and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Grant really does care about Ms. Moore... Have they really decided to get married?"

The question left Mason momentarily speechless.

He instinctively glanced back at Evelyn, who looked shocked, and answered, "Probably."

Once Evelyn was dealt with, it was only a matter of time.

Flynn fell silent. His chest felt bitter, but he also knew his place. Compared to Lucas, he fell far short.

On the other side, Justine could clearly sense Evelyn's feelings. She quickly asked, "Do you really like that ring that much?"

Evelyn shook her head. "No, this ring is an heirloom of the Reeds. It was my mother's wedding ring..."

Justine's expression changed dramatically. She immediately grabbed Evelyn's hand to raise the paddle. "Bid! Go all the way! I've got over 100 million in my account—we can definitely win this!"

Even so, Evelyn could only shake her head helplessly. "You don't understand Lucas."
