The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving novel Chapter 245

Mason had just come over and happened to witness the entire confrontation.

Clapping his hands, he walked up to Lucas. "I have to say, Evelyn is rather different now. That said, the things she said were pretty harsh."

Good thing Tiffany was magnanimous. Otherwise, if she'd chosen to make a fuss about it, Lucas would have surely sided with Tiffany and left Evelyn in an awkward spot.

Only then did Lucas finally take out the cigarette again and light it.

Mason thought for a moment, then added, "You're not actually going to take Evelyn to the event, are you? That kind of occasion is full of people who know you both. Wouldn't that basically be announcing to everyone that Evelyn is your wife?

"From how I see it… Evelyn would love nothing more than to go with you and make the relationship public. Isn't that exactly what she's always wanted? I'm telling you—when the time comes, you won't even need to say anything. She'll contact you first, asking to go together."

He hissed slightly as he said that, drawing on past experience to arrive at his guess.

As for Evelyn's dismissive attitude earlier, that was probably her playing hard to get.

Lucas didn't seem to take the issue to heart. "She won't."

She won't? Mason couldn't quite wrap his head around that. What exactly did that mean?

Did he mean that she wouldn't go public, or that she wouldn't ask Lucas to go with her?

Still, he offered a reminder as a precaution in case she stirred up trouble last minute. "I think you should still prepare a backup plan. Find a way to stop her from going."

Besides, it wouldn't be good for Tiffany's reputation either.

Lucas looked down and thought for a moment. Only after glancing at the message on his phone did he respond faintly, "She will go."

Mason was puzzled, but Lucas didn't explain anything. He simply took long strides into the private room.

…

When Evelyn and Justine returned to the private room, Sebastian leaned over and quietly asked why they'd taken so long to come in.

Justine was still fuming from what Millie had said earlier and Tiffany's superior attitude. She immediately recounted everything that had just happened.

"They really think they're legitimate family members now. You wouldn't believe the airs they're putting on! Evie is the legitimate wife, yet they are still making fun of her?"
