The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving

Millie was smiling, but her gaze was filled with arrogance that stemmed from wealth.

Evelyn pursed her lips. She looked rather cold, not even responding.

Millie had backstabbed Evelyn's mother and drove her to the end of her life. Evelyn could not bring herself to smile at a woman like that.

Mason was a little displeased. "You should at least respond when someone older than you is talking to you."

Jason, on the other hand, did not say anything. He felt Evelyn was very clear about whether she liked or hated a person.

If she appeared unhappy or indifferent in front of someone, then they certainly were those who treated her badly and those she was disgusted by. Lucas' friends, for example, were those people.

"It's fine. She has always been like this, so it's no big deal." Millie was surprisingly quite forgiving. It was as if there was no past resentment between them at all. "We're having a party today to celebrate our moving to a new place. Do you want to join us?"

Evelyn glanced at Lucas, who looked indifferent at the side. She figured that he had already gotten his future mother-in-law to settle down in the new place.

Evelyn felt it was quite insulting. After everything Millie had done to Naomi back then, she was acting as if nothing had happened. People who did not know better would truly think she was a kind woman.

Evelyn glanced at the hall and saw that it was filled with people from the business field. Lucas had truly given Millie a great honor by holding such a high-profile party.

Evelyn had been with him for so many years, yet he had never given her uncle and grandmother this level of respect and treatment.

She was reminded of the other gift in Lucas' car. It must have been a gift he had prepared for Tiffany and Millie with all his heart and soul.

"Evie's schedule is very packed. She has no time to act friendly with her husband's lover, so we're not going to take up any more of your time," said Justine after she walked over and took Evelyn's arm. She did not even know how hard she should roll her eyes to make it insulting enough.noveldrama

Millie frowned as she thought Justine's words were in poor taste. She wondered what kind of friends Evelyn surrounded herself with.

Lucas also glanced at Justine, but his expression was unreadable. Evelyn noticed his darkened gaze and was a little worried for Justine, so she quickly pulled her back.

Both Mason and Jason were dumbfounded. Just as they were about to say something, Tiffany waved her hand, graciously letting the matter slide. She was quite calm. She felt that Justine was just spewing all those empty insults because that was the only way for her to defend their self-esteem.

Tiffany did not welcome Evelyn, so she said to Millie, "Mom, you should head in first."

Then, Millie looked at Lucas. "Lucas, introduce those guests to me later. I want to get to know them to make sure they are not neglected."

Lucas nodded and replied, "Alright."

Mason smiled and went after Millie. "Let me do it. It's their honor to be able to get to know you."

Millie was all smiles upon hearing that, and she felt much better.

Evelyn did not wish to talk to them, so she quickly pulled Justine away. As they left, Lucas took a sidelong glance at Evelyn's back before he turned around indifferently.

Tiffany sneered silently after she saw the way he reacted, thinking Evelyn was just fleeing in a panic. She knew she would be embarrassed if she were to stay. After all, the person who felt sheepish was always the one who was defeated.

After they left the building, Justine put her hands on her waist and acted like she was about to throw up.

"Look at how smug she was! If I didn't know any better, I would've thought Lucas was her son-in-law. Both the mother and daughter looked at you as if you, Lucas' wife, were the homewrecker instead. Lucas truly has given them a great deal of confidence!"

She couldn't believe that Evelyn had to be the one to make way for them instead.

Evelyn patted Jusitne's back to calm her down. "It's fine. We're already getting a divorce anyway."

But Justine sneered and said, "She's a homewrecker as long as the divorce is not finalized! She's a typical bitch who would say that all is fair in love and war!"

Evelyn covered Justine's mouth. There was no telling if anybody was eavesdropping. If Lucas and the others were to find out what Justine just said, she might get into trouble.

Justine was terribly upset as they left. She stepped on the gas while cursing at the cars that were cutting the line.

Evelyn did not hold her back. She just let Justine vent her anger as she pleased.

Then, Evelyn received a call from Sebastian.

"Evie, come with me to Holmer City for a business trip this Wednesday. I think you'll like it," Sebastian said mysteriously.
