Evelyn was stunned for quite a while by Justine's words. Could it be true?

She looked at Lucas in front of her with gloomy eyes.

At that moment, she couldn't discern what Lucas was thinking at all. If things truly were as Justine had guessed, then he was going to great lengths to humiliate her and the Reeds as well. She could not accept that her mother's wedding ring would be worn on the hand of Millie's daughter.

Evelyn nodded calmly.

Evelyn closed her eyes, forcing herself to calm down as quickly as possible. She wasn't a pessimistic person. Even if there were no path forward, she would find a way to carve one out.

She would never give up on her mother's ring.
