The Queen Returns And She’s Unforgiving

Chapter 163

Evelyn was taken aback. She hadn't expected the most significant event of the evening to be the announcement of Blake's and Jessica's engagement.

No wonder Jessica had asked her to stay until the end. Was it because she considered Evelyn family, like a sister, and wanted her to bless them?

Blake stood on stage, his gaze sweeping over the crowd from above. In the flickering lights, he caught sight of Evelyn sitting in a dim corner of the second

row.

She was probably surprised, her cool, composed expression showing a brief moment of shock. However, it only lasted an instant before it quickly faded into nothing.

Blake's eyes locked onto hers, emotions swirling in his dark gaze.

Evelyn met his stare without any reaction.

He eventually broke into a playful, carefree smile. Yanking Jessica into his embrace, Blake explained, "Tonight's charity gala is also a way for Jessica and me to give back to everyone. Once we have planned the engagement party, we'll be sure to send out invites to everyone."

Jessica blushed, her body melting like jelly as she leaned into Blake's embrace.
