The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving novel Chapter 28

While Jason didn't say anything, he agreed with some parts of Mason's words.

Mason looked at Lucas and said assuredly, "I think Evelyn's trying to compete with Tiffany. Tiffany showed an interest in drones, so she put on an act. Tiffany became interested in Sebastian, so she started working at Flying Seal Group. Her core purpose is to grab your attention!"

He was more experienced with the way women employed their wiles. Women whose love was unrequited would become pretentious and troublesome.

Lucas didn't reply as his phone started ringing. It was Maria. He got up and headed out to take the call.

"Why are you still up so late?"

Maria harrumphed coldly. "What about you? Are you spending time with Evie?"

Lucas held his forehead. "I'm busy with work."

"Don't make excuses! Don't think I haven't heard of the gossip! You've been in close relations with someone else lately. Do you think this is appropriate?" Maria was utterly furious.

Lucas raised an eyebrow. "Who told you that?"

"It's true?" Maria cried out in dismay. "Lucas Grant! Evelyn is such a nice woman. If you let her down, aren't you afraid that you'll get what's coming for you?"

Lucas objected. "Is it that serious?"

Lucas' perfunctory attitude caused Maria to blow her top. "If you don't want me to get even angrier, bring Evie home with you tomorrow! This is an order, not a request!"

Maria furiously ended the call.

Lucas stood there with a hand in his pocket for a short while, before opening up Evelyn's WhatsApp chat box. But he soon exited the chat and directly called her.

Evelyn was just starting to fall asleep at 11:00 pm when she was awakened by the call.

She had a regular sleep schedule and rarely stayed up late. Lucas knew about this.

However, Evelyn was a good-natured person. She would never get angry or refuse any of his requests at any moment, even if she felt unhappy once in a while.

She would process it on her own, then carry on currying favor by yielding to him.

He didn't need to spend extra time on her.

Evelyn picked up the call with a frown. "What's the matter?"

Lucas' voice was flat and steady. "Come with me to Grant Manor tomorrow. Do you have the time?"

Evelyn became more wide awake at that. They were going to Grant Manor? Was he planning to come clean about the divorce with Maria?
