Chapter 231

At that moment, Evelyn pondered it. The hotel belonged to Grant Group and was managed by Sharron.

As the CEO of the company, Lucas naturally had certain privileges. So, was it Lucas who had arranged for the flowers to be sent?

Lucas looked down and studied her indifferent expression in silence before finally speaking. "Grandma called me."

"Just say whatever to get by," Evelyn replied calmly.

Lucas pointed toward the hotel logo. "Grandma knows we're both in Pearlia. Let's video call her later."

Evelyn thought it over and agreed in the end. "Alright."

They had already signed an agreement to keep it a secret for a year. Lucas did not need to remind her of the unspoken rules.
