The Queen Returns—And She’s Unforgiving Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Tiffany did not seem to have noticed Evelyn as she turned to Sophia and smiled warmly. “You can treat me however you want.”

On the other hand, Lucas looked up in annoyance, asking, “Why are you here?”

Meeting his cold gaze, Evelyn immediately understood that he had misunderstood her intentions.

Sure enough, Mason Cooper, who was sitting at the side, sneered. “Ms. Reed, you’re capable. You’ve managed to track Lucas down to where we usually meet in private. We’re all respectable people here. Don’t you feel embarrassed by behaving like this?”

Evelyn was here to catch Lucas in the act with Tiffany. Why else would she show up instead?

Looking at Evelyn, Mason scoffed and shook his head. “Aren’t you tired of it? It’s damn obvious that Lucas doesn’t like you.”

Considering how she had arranged for reporters to catch her sleeping with Lucas, the Grant family would have been humiliated if he had not suppressed the news in time.

Hence, they all looked down on her for sacrificing her reputation and innocence–all for the sake of climbing up the social ladder.

Evelyn was already used to their mockery. As Lucas‘ friends, they all despised her for being shameless.

Tiffany sat beside Lucas, gently pouring a glass of juice for Sophia. Sitting there with confidence and elegance, she hadn’t even looked up to shoot Evelyn a glance.
