The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving

Sensing a gaze on her, Evelyn looked over in that direction. Unexpectedly, her eyes met Lucas'.

But after only a couple of seconds, Lucas coldly averted his gaze. He showed no interest in her, his demeanor distant and indifferent.

It wasn't surprising to run into Lucas and Tiffany near the World Trade Center.

At this moment, Tiffany had affectionately linked her arm with Lucas' uninjured one. They had clearly been chatting and laughing, appearing very happy together. Evelyn and Lucas had only finalized their divorce a few hours earlier, yet it seemed that Lucas and Tiffany had taken another step forward in their relationship.

Evelyn chose to pretend she didn't know them. She quietly pulled her arm out of Harry's grasp and turned to thank him, saying, "It's fine. I've been to the hospital already."

Harry furrowed his brows slightly. He sensed something was off about Evelyn. She didn't seem to have just a common headache or cold.

Tiffany had, of course, seen Evelyn and Harry standing together. She couldn't care less about Evelyn, but... She glanced at Harry, who was standing by Evelyn's side. How could Harry be associating with someone like Evelyn?

Had they planned to meet up or was it just a coincidence?

As far as she knew, they weren't familiar with each other. But just a moment ago, Harry had been helping Evelyn, and they looked a bit intimate.

Tiffany's brows furrowed together. Evelyn was more open than she had imagined. Or perhaps Evelyn felt that having Sebastian wasn't enough?

The thought made Tiffany's expression grow colder, and a hint of sarcasm slipped into her voice. She spoke matter-of-factly as if pondering aloud, "When did they get familiar enough to drink coffee together? Maybe they bumped into each other."

Lucas, who was walking ahead, glanced at his watch, his expression devoid of any emotions. "It's not important."

Tiffany tilted her head, looking at his cold, refined profile. A small smile tugged at her lips. She could tell that even though Lucas seemed uninterested in the person she mentioned, he still responded to her. He would always give her an answer.

Would anyone else receive such attention from him?

The two of them entered a nearby store, leaving the moment unnoticed by anyone else.

Meanwhile, a car pulled up in front of the café. Jason got out and opened the door for Evelyn.

Inside the building, Lucas had just entered the lobby when his phone rang. It was Mason calling.

Lucas answered the call, and Mason's voice came through. It sounded like he was still in the middle of some business, but he had taken the time to call Lucas. "Is the registration for Arrowpoint Solutions all done?"

Lucas glanced at Tiffany, who was chatting with people nearby, before answering in a relaxed tone, "Yeah, almost."

Mason couldn't help but comment, "That's a massive scale, huh? You're really thorough, huh? Even with your injury, you made sure to take time out this morning and accompany Tiffany to get all of this done. You could've had Michael handle it."

Clearly, Lucas had handled every detail of Tiffany's matter with incredible care.

Lucas lowered his eyes, glancing at his right hand, which was still immobilized, and didn't elaborate on his trip to the courthouse. He simply replied, "Michael had other matters to attend to."

Mason assumed that Michael was busy with work and didn't press further.noveldrama

But Mason, always quick to shift topics, suddenly thought of something and asked, "So, your cooling-off period with Evelyn is over, right? Has the divorce certificate been finalized?"

Lucas raised his head and saw Tiffany walking toward him.

He didn't answer Mason's question, merely stating, "I just finished up some business with Tiffany. We'll catch up another day."

"Tiffany is there?" Mason asked, surprised.
