The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving novel Chapter 85

Evelyn had tagged the hotel's location in Holmer City on Instagram, and Maria saw it.

Evelyn suddenly did not know how to answer Maria's question. "W-We are at the same event."

She did not explain whether they came together. After all, she truly had no idea about Lucas' schedule before she came over. Besides, Lucas came with Tiffany.

Of course, Evelyn could not let Maria know about that.

Maria's smile grew wider. "How great. Both of you should spend a couple more days there. Just treat it as a couple's retreat. That'll be good for you guys to bond as well."

Evelyn smiled but said nothing.

Maria had no idea that with Tiffany there, Lucas had no time to bond with her at all. She did not even know what his room number was.

"Where's Lucas? Why isn't he there?" Maria asked.

Evelyn thought for a moment and said, "He's still at a business event. He'll be back later."

Maria furrowed her eyebrows and replied curtly, "Why is he always at a business event? It's not like it's an event that he has to attend. He should be spending time with you at the hotel instead!"

"It's fine, Grandma," Evelyn replied.

Besides, Lucas was helping Tiffany build connections. That was the most important thing in the world to him.

"Forget it. How about this? Give me a video call when he returns later, and I'll lecture him for you!" Maria was clearly displeased. "It's a deal, alright? Go get some rest, Evie."

Evelyn wanted to say no, but Maria had already hung up.

Evelyn put her hand on her head, feeling helpless. However, she did not dwell on it. She put down her phone and continued working on the presentation slides.

…

Graham was still at the party. He had flown to Holmer City that day because of Lucas.

Lucas was a bold and decisive young man, who invested a generous amount of 200 million dollars in the country's aerospace industry. Of course, Graham had to accept his invitation.

The party was bustling. Graham had never been interested in socializing, so he ordered Sebastian to help him send a few groups away.
