The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving novel Chapter 77

Evelyn raised her eyebrow a little and asked, "A business trip?"

"It's the aerospace technology conference held once every two years in Holmer City. The people attending the event are big shots from our country and abroad. Big investors would be there as well. What do you think? You're interested, aren't you?" Sebastian smirked.

Evelyn knew that Holmer City had been holding this event for the past ten years. It was one of the most important events in the industry.

The people who were invited were the top engineers and technicians around the world. Everybody was there to learn from each other and to have an exchange. It was an incredibly rare opportunity to come by.

"I'm guessing my father might be there. How about taking this opportunity to talk to him? Have Justy pick out an evening dress for you either today or tomorrow. The company will pay for it," Sebastian said generously.

Justine's frustrations instantly vanished when she heard that. "No problem! Just leave it to me. I'll make sure your plus one will steal the show, Mr. Hill!"

Justine immediately turned the car around and drove to the largest mall.

Unfortunately, after they shopped around, the most expensive dress in the mall was less than a few hundred thousand dollars. Justine thought it was not good enough for Evelyn.

Two hours later, Justine decided to let Evelyn wear the dress that she had just shipped back into the country from abroad. She immediately made a call and had someone deliver it to them.

It was a mermaid dress in light purple, and the fabric was smooth and light as a feather. The cinched waist design perfectly showed off Evelyn's figure.

The dress looked even more vibrant when it was under the light. It had no unnecessary embellishments, but it looked extravagant. Plus, the design was superb.

"This dress is perfect for you. If you wore it, you'd be the belle of the ball!" Justine was incredibly happy with it.

Evelyn knew Justine's character, so she did not turn down her offer.

Sebastian's assistant had already booked a hotel in Holmer City for Evelyn and Sebastian before they departed.

As Evelyn packed her luggage, she found the lucky charm Tessie had given to her in her pocket. She froze for a moment before putting it into the deep end of her closet, never giving it another thought.

…

Evelyn and Sebastian flew to Holmer City one day in advance.

It was Evelyn's first time in the city. They were staying at the Bvlgari Hotel, and Sebastian brought Evelyn to get them checked in.

As soon as Evelyn got to the reception desk and took out her ID, she heard someone call out to her, "Evelyn? Why are you here?"
