The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving

Peter chuckled, patting his stomach. "Lucas is assembling an elite team for Arrowpoint Solutions, and with him leading, who wouldn't be on board? Ms. Moore... She's a lucky one!"

Evelyn raised her eyes slightly, her expression still composed.

Sebastian frowned, clearly bothered by the word "lucky". His concern for Evelyn was evident.

Tiffany's "luck" seemed like nothing more than feeding off Evelyn's misfortune. To the outside world, it almost felt like a silent mockery of Evelyn. What a "love story" that the people were praising.

Evelyn, however, didn't seem particularly affected.

Yesterday, when she spoke to Lucas on the phone, he was still at the hospital. By that evening, he was already accompanying Tiffany on a business trip.

So, when he had asked, "Do you have time to come by the hospital?", it seemed he had already made up his mind that she wouldn't go. Even if she did, it seemed he wouldn't care enough to reschedule and would rather go off with Tiffany. It almost felt like deliberate neglect.

None of that mattered in the grand scheme of things. What was important was that Lucas' actions were becoming increasingly aggressive. Not only was he poaching talent from Flying Seal Group, but he was also recruiting from the top tech expo in the country.

Clearly, he had made up his mind to recruit both domestically and internationally, ensuring he would have no shortage of talent. But still, he decided to target Flying Seal Group, sticking a knife in their back.

It was completely intentional.

Peter escorted them to the lobby before returning to his work.

Sebastian lowered his head and sarcastically remarked, "Lucas' heart must be made of something else. After three years of marriage, the divorce didn't faze him one bit—no pain, no remorse. And he's taking Tiffany on a trip under the guise of a business trip. He sure knows how to enjoy himself."

Even with his injuries, Lucas still made sure to handle everything for Tiffany, providing her with full security. Meanwhile, he didn't give a damn about Evelyn, leaving her to fight her battles alone.

"I'm hungry," Evelyn interjected, not wanting to continue discussing Lucas. "Let's

go eat, and then we'll finalize the plans for the new energy project."

No matter how grand Arrowpoint Solutions might become, in the end, what mattered were the projects. Evelyn was clear about this.

Sebastian looked at her, his gaze softening a bit as he ruffled her hair, offering a rough but comforting gesture.

After they had their meal, Sebastian went to fetch the car. Evelyn was waiting at the entrance when she unexpectedly ran into Sharron.

Sharron noticed her as well but walked past without a change in expression.

Evelyn, of course, didn't feel the need to greet her either. But Sharron suddenly seemed to remember something and stopped in her tracks. She turned to look at Evelyn. "Are you very busy with work?"

Evelyn finally lifted her gaze.noveldrama

Before Evelyn could answer, Sharron spoke with a cold, stern expression. "Lucas was injured because of you. How come you didn't go to the hospital to take care of him? Is work really that important? The Grant family hasn't left you lacking anything, have we?"

Evelyn could tell that Sharron had heard about the Miller family matters.

Sharron continued coldly, "A harmonious family is key. There's no need to drag small arguments to Maria. Don't complain or make a scene with her, or it'll only cause trouble. Let's not make things ugly."

Evelyn could tell that Lucas hadn't mentioned their divorce to Sharron. He was being careful.

As for the reminder to "not make things ugly", it was likely because Lucas was thinking about marrying Tiffany in the future. If things were to blow up now and Tiffany's "homewrecker" status was brought to light, it would be embarrassing for the Grant family-especially if Lucas insisted on marrying her later.

Evelyn had always known that Sharron was cold-hearted and clever. In the past, she would have quietly listened and accepted Sharron's words. But now, her voice was indifferent as she responded.

"Lucas was discharged from the hospital long ago. As a mother, shouldn't you be concerned? How come you didn't know?"

Sharron was taken aback by Evelyn's attitude, her expression slightly shocked.
