The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving novel Chapter 48

Upon hearing that, Justine scrunched her face angrily, trying to come up with a comeback.

Evelyn shook her head and stopped Justine before she could say anything. She also noticed Tiffany looking at her at the same time.

It was obvious that Tiffany had heard what Lily said earlier.

Evelyn raised her brow and let out a faint smile. She then turned to Lucas and Mason beside her and said, "I'll head in first."

Her elegance and composure made Evelyn seem all the more awkward and humiliated.

She could kind of guess what Tiffany was thinking.

In the end, however, it didn't matter. After all, she didn't want to be with Lucas anymore.

Internal conflicts wouldn't solve any problem.

That whole fiasco also ruined Derek's mood. Evelyn came all the way here and made such a huge scene. What would Lucas think of him now? How was he supposed to continue the conversation?

Shaking his head, he was heartbroken by what Evelyn had done. He said to Lucas, "Mr. Grant, we'll meet another day. You must come to my place sometime for a meal."

Lucas remained silent, his expression even seemed somber.

This made Derek hate Evelyn's reckless behavior even more. Lucas was obviously upset because of this whole mess she had caused.

He shot her one last glare, then turned around and walked away.

On the contrary, Lily was rather pleased with Evelyn's current predicament. She figured that the woman named Tiffany from earlier definitely came from a powerful background.

She looked so stunning and capable. The moment she showed up, Lucas' attention was entirely drawn to her. How could Evelyn possibly compete with that?

Lily let out a sarcastic scoff and was about to leave.

Evelyn looked at her coldly. "Did I say we're done?"

Lily grew impatient. "Aren't we?"

Evelyn was struggling to hold back her overwhelming rage. She said in a stone-cold voice, "Do you want me to take it to the cops?"

Lily's expression changed slightly.

"Evie…" A big warm hand suddenly grasped Evelyn's wrist. She had no idea when Blake showed up.

He looked at Evelyn with a subtle smile. "Just let it go."

His interference made the tension within her even more suffocating.
