The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving novel Chapter 32

"Hello, Ms. Reed," everyone greeted Evelyn politely.

However, they did not engage Evelyn in any conversation regarding their professional field. After greeting her, they turned to Sebastian to chat about the technological reforms and future industrial prospects.

This was a male-dominated field, and naturally, women were comparatively less valued. In such a world, they would always be faced with prejudice.

Evelyn had expected such an outcome and remained relatively calm.

She listened to their conversation coolly.

Sebastian also had someone important to introduce to Evelyn. "See that man in the gray suit? He's an important government official and a key figure to connect with tonight. It's crucial to receive first-hand information on policy trends, so be sure to leave him with a good impression."

Evelyn was astonished to hear that someone of such importance was here.

She also understood just how important tonight's banquet was. Sebastian led her over to him.

When the government official saw Sebastian, he greeted him with a smile. "It's been a while since I saw you, Mr. Hill."

Before Sebastian could introduce Evelyn, a commotion could be heard from the entrance.

Evelyn turned to take a look.

Tiffany entered confidently with her arm linked with Lucas'. She greeted those around them graciously.

The bigwigs who had just been socializing with ease were delighted by Lucas' arrival. They all made their way over to him.

Evelyn couldn't help but pay attention to their attire.

Tiffany wore a dress with a shade of green similar to hers. The neckline was inset with diamond fragments of various sizes, which glittered under the lights.

As for Lucas, the pocket square he wore with his suit had a texture and color that matched Tiffany's formal dress.

It was a secret display of affection.

Lucas had never once worn a suit that matched Evelyn's dress.

Evelyn curled her lips in derision, and her vision started to blur. Should she laugh at how she'd been treated like a joke for the past three years, or should she laugh about how she just wasn't worth it for him?

Sebastian glanced at Evelyn. While she didn't show any outward reaction, he still felt upset.

He quickly realized that Lucas was leading Tiffany in their direction.

Sebastian frowned. He knew what he was planning to do.

Lucas had seen Evelyn when he came in. Noticing the dress she was wearing, he paused slightly.

Evelyn also noticed the look in his eyes.

They were wearing matching attire, and it seemed as if she was inserting herself between them.

Tiffany also caught a glimpse of Evelyn. However, her gaze just flitted between Sebastian and that government official.
