The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving

Evelyn was about to leave when Lucas glanced at her purse on the sink.

"You forgot your purse," he mentioned.

When she turned around, he had already helped her retrieve it.

Meanwhile, from nearby, Tiffany and Mason had just walked over in time to see Lucas handing Evelyn her purse.

Tiffany's brows furrowed. Mason also wondered aloud, "Is Evelyn thinking about reconciling?"

It didn't seem impossible, considering that it made sense for Evelyn to want to reconcile with Lucas. After all, she had liked him so much in the past.

Once she was done throwing tantrums, she had to figure out how to end matters.

Tiffany knitted her brows again but quickly recovered. "She has no drive to improve herself and is focused on chasing men. It's no wonder Mr. Ziegler didn't take her seriously."

With that, she dismissed it and turned to leave.

Mason patted his lips. His mouth really worked faster than his brain.

Across them, Brandon had just finished his call.

From his angle, he had seen Tiffany and Mason approaching earlier. They looked terrible when they left. Did that mean she saw Evelyn talking to Lucas, too?

Thinking about it, what woman would be happy to see her competition trying everything to get close to her boyfriend?

Brandon frowned, finding the whole thing ridiculous.

Evelyn planned to return to the garden area. As such, she had to pass through a long corridor.

Just as she was about to step under the arch, she came face to face with Brandon.

Yet, she had no intention of acknowledging him, who noticed that she still ignored him and came to a stop.

His gaze carried a hint of mockery as he asked, "Ms. Reed, juggling multiple men must feel like quite the achievement to you, huh?"

Evelyn hadn't expected him to say such words suddenly. Unlike before, he laid his dislike for her out in the open this time.

Thinking about the scene he had just witnessed, Brandon sneered. "Aren't you worried that one day, you'll trip up badly? Maybe you'll finally understand how much it hurts when someone tries to steal your man."

She finally came to a stop, her gaze frosty. "Do you think you're being righteous?" His brows furrowed sharply.

Evelyn, who was usually so well-mannered, didn't even bother to be polite this time.

"Did no one teach you when you were younger that it's rude and irritating to pester people for attention when they do not want to talk to you? Are you that desperate for love and attention?"noveldrama

Brandon had always thought that Evelyn was at least gentle on the surface, so he was slightly stunned when he saw her being so fierce now. He didn't expect her to be so hostile.

"Mr. Connor, stop adding to the drama. This isn't righteousness—it's stupidity." Evelyn's tone remained calm from start to finish, but every word cut deep.

She didn't care what kind of expression he had. After speaking, she turned and walked away.

He stood frozen for quite a while, unable to react. Then, it hit him... Had Evelyn just scolded him? Why did she have the nerve to say such words so confidently?

His expression darkened as he turned around, only to meet Harry's indifferent gaze unexpectedly. Apparently, he'd been standing there for a while. He just didn't intervene.

Brandon froze again. Then, he asked irritably, "I bet you're enlightened now, huh? A woman like that actually exists."
