The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving

Evelyn felt a slight throb in her temples.

She hadn't expected Lucas to make such a big move so soon, immediately targeting Flying Seal Group's tech team after their divorce. Even though people like Bailey were likely under non-compete agreements, it was clear that if Lucas truly wanted to poach someone, he wouldn't care about any compensation clauses.

"Could Lucas really be doing this on purpose?" Justine gritted her teeth. "I thought he might have a conscience after giving you the shares, but now, it looks like he's just playing the 'bait and switch' game!"

Flying Seal Group's last project had been a huge success. With Evelyn's name on the project, Lucas probably assumed she would continue to be involved in future

ones.

And with Arrowpoint Solutions directly competing with Flying Seal Group, once the company was launched, a fierce battle for dominance was inevitable. Lucas had already begun laying the groundwork.noveldrama

So, was the plan to weaken Flying Seal Group from the inside? To hinder their growth and make it harder for Evelyn to use the Flying Seal Group project as a way to turn things around for herself? Was this some form of post-divorce revenge?

Evelyn's chest tightened.

Flying Seal Group wasn't just her personal battlefield-it was the result of everyone's hard work. Lucas' calculated moves, especially in backing Tiffany and covertly contacting Flying Seal Group's employees for Arrowpoint Solutions, would only fuel Millie's and Tiffany's arrogance.

Even though Evelyn knew Lucas didn't care about the feud between the Reed and the Healy families and even though Tiffany was Millie's daughter, it still stung. She felt as though she had been slapped in the face.

Evelyn took a deep breath and quickly regained her composure. She turned to Sebastian, asking, "Who sent you that photo?"

If these people hadn't been caught on camera, they might have never realized what was happening.

Sebastian replied, "One of my juniors. He was assigned to the area, and by coincidence, he ran into them."

Evelyn's expression turned serious. "We need to deal with this. I'll talk to Bailey tomorrow."

Sebastian had no objections.

Ever since Arrowpoint Solutions had revealed their 20% options pool, Sebastian had known that there would be turbulence in the industry. People would be restless.

The next day, Evelyn arrived at the office early. Sebastian was already waiting in the office. Without beating about the bush, she called Bailey to the office.

When Bailey saw Sebastian and Evelyn, he immediately realized what was going on and waited for them to speak.

Evelyn didn't raise her voice or seem angry. Her expression was calm as she said, "Tell me what happened."

Bailey didn't try to hide anything. "Yes, someone spoke with me and mentioned Arrowpoint Solutions. Ms. Reed, the benefits at Arrowpoint Solutions are indeed the best in the industry."

Evelyn didn't waste time. "So, have you decided to leave?"

Bailey immediately fell silent.

He admitted that Flying Seal Group could give him a promising future, and they were an emerging force in the industry. But Arrowpoint Solutions, a new company, was offering generous terms to their first batch of employees, including shares in the options pool.

Bailey was direct. "Everyone knows that Ms. Moore is supported by Lucas from Bluezen. Arrowpoint Solutions' scale is already larger than Flying Seal Group's after years of hard work. I know that you're very capable, Ms. Reed, but personal ability alone can't compete with the backing that Ms. Moore has from Lucas."

Evelyn's brows furrowed slightly. Sebastian's expression also changed.

They hadn't expected Bailey to make such a blunt comparison between Evelyn and Tiffany, especially with Tiffany being elevated by Lucas' power.

Bailey seemed to have given up. "Ms. Moore is very important to Lucas at Bluezen. She'll push Arrowpoint Solutions forward. I'm just making a reasonable choice."

Sebastian's expression went cold. "It seems like Lucas will be helping you with your breach of contract fees. You sound so confident now."
