The Queen Returns And She’s Unforgiving

Chapter 232 It was as if the two pieces were originally part of a set.

Could it be that the Reed family's heirloom was truly a set with this necklace? Evelyn examined it repeatedly in surprise, unable to shake her suspicion. Then, she slowly furrowed her brow.

Had Lucas left it here? She was certain there had been nothing on the nightstand when she had gone to bed last night.

Was this supposed to be a birthday gift? She was not particularly shocked. Lucas had always arranged gifts for her in the previous years. He had a meticulous nature and gentlemanly manners. Even with his distant personality, he maintained basic courtesies.

He would not pretend not to know something he was aware of.

But they were already divorced.

Evelyn only looked at the necklace for a few seconds before closing the box and putting it away.

She planned to ask Deborah if the pieces were actually a matching set.

If they weren't, she had no reason to keep it. If they were, she would not accept it for free.

She was heading back to Clementon today. Her flight was in the afternoon.

Yesterday, Graham had asked her to meet again this morning to discuss what they had gained from the trip.

Sebastian had already gone over early in the morning.

Evelyn quickly packed her things and went upstairs.

As Brandon exited his room and went round the corner, he happened to see Evelyn knocking on Graham's door, then stepping inside.

His brow immediately furrowed in confusion.

Why would Evelyn be looking for Graham? Was Sebastian in there too? Unable to make sense of it, he headed downstairs.

Lucas and the others were already seated and having breakfast.

Tiffany looked sleep-deprived. She was sipping a cup of coffee while massaging her temples.

Mason looked at her with concern. "What's wrong? Didn't sleep well?" Jason also looked up.

Tiffany shrugged. "I was reading through sof the books recommended by Professor Hill. They're definitely tough reads. I talked through sof my thoughts with Lucas and barely got two hours of sleep." Mason gave her a meaningful look. "So you two were together for the rest of the night?" Tiffany immediately shut her mouth and smiled, quickly steering the conversation elsewhere. "I just asked Professor Hill's assistant if I could talk with him about my takeaways, but apparently he's busy and declined." Brandon had just walked over and heard their conversation.

He sat down and said, "Professor Hill is busy? I just saw Evelyn going into his room." That caused changes in everyone's expression.

Lucas looked up thoughtfully.

Mason choked on his water mid-laugh. "Evelyn? What's she doing in Professor Hill's room?" Brandon shook his head, puzzled. "No idea." What a coincidence. Tiffany wanted to talk with Graham, yet Evelyn just so happened to go in and prevent her from doing so? Mason suddenly clicked his tongue. "Could she be... discussing her marriage with Mr. Hill?" At that, even Jason frowned silently.

Tiffany also paused to think about it.

Could Evelyn have really secured Sebastian as her next match after the divorce? Given the Hill family's status in both academia and scientific research, they were among the elites. They had close ties with the upper echelons of the government. Their social standing was nothing to scoff at either.

Evelyn was more ambitious than Tiffany had expected.

Still, Tiffany did not voice her opinion.

Brandon instinctively disagreed. "She won't be able to get into the Hill family. They're not your average household. My father once said that Mr. Hill will only marry someone equally strong. His wife will need to be a national talent to be a proper match." Evelyn wanted to marry into that family? She had to be dreaming.

Jason rubbed his phone between his fingers, lost in thought.

He did not believe Evelyn wanted to marry into the Hill family. She was not a woman whose life revolved around romance.

Tiffany gave a silent laugh at Brandon's words.

He was right; the Hill family would not accept a woman with no real accomplishments.

At that moment, they saw Evelyn and Sebastian walk over together.

Evelyn's expression was unreadable, but Sebastian looked utterly dejected.

He had the look of someone who had brought a woman honly to be turned away at the door.

Their guesses might not be far from the truth.

Evelyn did not notice the glances directed their way. She just patted Sebastian on the shoulder comfortingly.

"Hang in there. Professor Hil is a perfectionist. Everyone gets soalded. You're his son, so it's normal that he En. expects more from you."

yet he Sebastian sighed helplessly. He was among the top young academics in the country, yet he still got verbally torn apart by Graham. This was all because of the freakishly gifted Evelyn being his comparison. The tornap content is on novelenglish.net! As they approached the group, Mason waved them over. "Mr. Hill, rough morning? Cjoin us." Evelyn cast a calm glance at them.

Lucas looked up with his legs crossed, saying nothing.

She was just about to politely decline when a commotion broke out near the entrance.

The hotel manager's respectful voice was heard.

"Mr. Grant is just inside. Right this way."
