The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving novel Chapter 107

Tiffany naturally understood the challenge hidden in Justine's question. Her brows furrowed slightly as she looked at Justine with displeasure.

She was sure she had never provoked Justine, so this sudden hostility could only have been stirred up by Evelyn.

A flicker of irritation crossed Tiffany's eyes when she saw Evelyn arriving. Evelyn was the only one capable of these underhanded tactics. Since she couldn't compete with her in other ways, she resorted to schemes like this.

Flynn, too, was curious about the question. Based on how Lucas treated Tiffany, it was clear he cared about her. But truth be told, Lucas had never officially introduced Tiffany as his girlfriend. If he was merely pursuing her, that might mean there was still a chance for him.

Brandon also turned to look at Tiffany, clearly waiting for her answer.

Just as Tiffany was about to respond, a tall figure stepped in beside her. Lucas' sharp gaze swept past Justine and briefly over Evelyn before he said coldly, "If you're so curious, you can ask me. She is whatever I say she is."

Evelyn's expression softened slightly. Whatever fleeting emotion she had just completely faded. What remained was a calm acceptance. Lucas' statement was both a shield and a warning.

He wouldn't let Tiffany admit anything directly. He wouldn't let her be labeled as a homewrecker. Whether she was his girlfriend or fiancée, it became a reality once he said it. It was also a direct move to prevent Evelyn from ever revealing that she was actually his wife.

Evelyn knew exactly what Lucas meant. If she dared to make a scene, he wouldn't hold back. He had never been afraid of public scandals. Especially now, with the divorce already underway, he would likely take the chance to officially acknowledge Tiffany as his lover. In the end, the only one left humiliated would be Evelyn.

She even worried that his anger—should she ruin Tiffany's reputation—might spill over and affect the people close to her.

Evelyn gradually calmed down. She had never felt Lucas' love, so there was nothing to be disappointed about now.

Justine noticed Lucas' unreserved attitude and turned to look at Evelyn. She walked up to her friend, concern written on her face. "Evie…"

Evelyn met her gaze, offering a comforting look. This situation no longer bothered her.

Even though Lucas hadn't given a direct answer, his public defense of Tiffany spoke volumes. It was clear how important she was to him.
