NovelStartChapter 212 Evelyn immediately understood that Lucas was referring to Flying Seal Group's request to replace the person in charge of their collaboration project.
There was no sign of anger in his tone and expression. He looked just as indifferent as always.
Was he trying to condemn her? Or was he making fun of her? She stopped in her tracks for a moment. She could not be bothered to figure out what exactly he was trying to express, so she continued walking forward.
Lucas probably did not see her reaction. He narrowed his eyes and put his lighter into his pocket before he looked at her. "Were you the one who suggested changing the person in charge?" It was as expected.
Evelyn stopped and turned to look at him. Her tone was extremely calm as she said, "Mr. Grant, if you're not happy with that, we don't have to collaborate." She did not explain anything else. She thought there was no need to have a long debate about the replacement of Tiffany. There was no point to it at all.

Evelyn did not have any particular emotions pertaining to this matter. It was as if it were a matter so insignificant that it was not worth mentioning at all.
He looked at her for a while before he let out a chuckle, but there was no sign of warmth in his voice at all. Lucas curled his lips, and his gaze becunfathomable. "Is 'not collaborating' the most aggressive thing you can think of?" Evelyn frowned. What he said just made her feel a little uncomfortable somehow. He said it so casually that it was as if he did not take it seriously at all.
However, Lucas did not press on about Flying Seal Group's decision anymore. He glanced at Evelyn calmly and walked past her, entering the private room that Millie and Tiffany were in.
Tiffany's faint but gentle voice could be heard coming from the room. "It's so rare that my mom gets to leave the hospital for a day. Thank you for taking the tout to have a meal with us, Lucas." It was no wonder Tiffany was still in a great mood after she left the project.
It was because Lucas had already comforted her.
Of course, Evelyn was surprised by Lucas' attitude.
She thought Lucas would fly into a rage. After all, Flying Seal Group did not give them much of a choice. Tiffany was a person who was blessed since birth. Her whole life was smooth sailing. On top of that, Lucas treated her as the apple of his eye. Was he truly going to just let this go so easily? Evelyn did not think much about it anymore. She just went to the table that they had booked. Whether Lucas would hold her responsible or not was a problem for another day. There was no need to waste her tthinking about it.
She did not tell Justine about what happened earlier. She simply put it completely behind her.
They only returned to Flying Seal Group after they finished their meal.
As soon as they arrived on the first floor, Evelyn received a text from Charles of the technical department.
"Ms. Reed, we have guests. Mr. Hill is not back yet. How long will it take for you and Ms. Scott to cback?" Charles texted.

Both of them then took the elevator and headed upstairs.
It was after they entered the reception room that they saw Flynn and Brandon, who had just sat on the couch.
Justine's expression immediately darkened. "What are you doing here? Do you have nothing better to do?"
Flynn looked at his sister with dissatisfaction. "Dad is the one who askedto come. He wants to discuss collaborating with Flying Seal Group. Justine, don't forget that you're a Scott!" How could she be so indifferent to her brother because of an outsider? What nonsense was that? Justine ignored him and looked at Brandon, who had a casual posture. "And what are you here for today, Mr. Connor?"
Brandon glanced at Evelyn and said, "I've spoken to Mr. Hill yesterday. I think it's necessary for us to have a proper talk. Ms. Scott, I'm sure you're familiar with what Silux Materials is capable of in terms of new materials. We have more room for innovative technologies to thrive. When will Mr. Hill be returning?"
After Brandon went hlast night, his father told him that either an expert was working at Flying Sean Group or Sebastian had found a legendary specialist. The higher-ups were paying attention to them, and they were a priority to the government as well. It would be best if they could be in a win-win situation.
Bradon knew that Flying Seal Group was a little arrogant. He believed it was inappropriate of them to replace Tiffany as they wished as well.
