Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 103

What’s seven years?

A man, she can surpass him!

Her career, she can surpass that too!

Eliza knew that Medea was deliberately targeting her, but she never expected it to go this far!

Having the celebratory banquet on the same day was one thing, but even choosing the same hotel?

When Sadie told her about it, she couldn’t help but laugh in anger.

“Do you think we should avoid it?” Sadie asked, concerned.

Right now, Medea was riding a wave of success. If they fought head–on, ASKHEART might not fare well.

It might be better to avoid confrontation and change the venue for the launch.

Before today, Eliza might have considered Sadie’s suggestion and switched the location.

After all, acting impulsively wasn’t her style. She always considered the project’s interests and development first.

But now, with her resolve, she wouldn’t back down.

Sadie didn’t know what Eliza had in mind but trusted that Eliza had her reasons, so she didn’t ask further and simply followed her lead.

Josh was also fully trusting of Eliza, without any second thoughts, so was Enzo

“Three days later, the press conference went ahead as planned.

When Medea heard the news, she smiled faintly.

She had originally thought Eliza was a smart person, but now it seemed she had overestimated her.

This worked out perfectly. She could finally show Eliza just how insignificant she really was!

Besides being a bit pretty, what did she have to offer?

What did she think she could compete with?

What she had, Medea had more than just looks!

When Calvin drunkenly went to see her earlier, Medea had felt a little uneasy.

But then she realized, men sometimes feel possessive about women they used to be with.

Didn’t she keep an eye on Josh’s movements too?

But she only observed him there were no other thoughts, no actions.

They were adults, and weighing the pros and cons was normal.

And besides, if Calvin truly had feelings for Eliza, they would have been more than just a seven year standstill.

So, Medea wisely didn’t inquire further, and Calvin didn’t bring it up.

Their relationship was unaffected.

In fact, Calvin was even more attentive to her than before. The celebratory banquet was his idea.

He spared no expense, focusing solely on her needs.

So, the banquet for Flying was grand and lavish, and it meant a lot to Medea as her first after returning to China.

She invited all her friends and family to witness her glorious moment.

After today, she would have successfully entered the capital circle.

With Calvin’s support, she knew she would soon secure her place among Washington’s elite.

For today’s event, Medea appeared in her most dazzling attire.

Her dress and jewelry were top–tier, worth millions.

Vivian couldn’t help but admire her, “Your husband is really great to you! I’m so jealous!”

Medea smiled, looking blissful. “Donny treats you well too.”

Vivian pouted, “Him? Forget it! He’s broke! After all these years, the gifts he’s given me don’t even compare to a single designer bag your husband gave you!”

“Nothing to be done, he only has that much ability,” Medea comforted her.

Vivian’s mindset had changed significantly after witnessing the attention Calvin lavished on Medea.

She had grown increasingly disdainful of Donny, and the two had been fighting a lot recently.

They had a huge argument last week, and she ended up blocking all his contacts, vowing never to speak to him again.

These days, she had been absent–minded at work. Seeing Medea so glamorous today, she couldn’t help but feel envious.

“Cousin, I’m completely done with Donny. I’m in an empty period right now. Can you introduce me to a boyfriend?”

Medea could easily see through Vivian’s intentions.

“Who do you have your eye on? I’ll ask around.”

Vivian blushed, “It’s that young Mr. Wade from Wade Auto Group.”

“Good taste,” Medea praised. “I’ll set something up and give you a chance.”

At least it wasn’t Gideon, that spoiled rich kid.

“Thanks, Cousin! Wishing you and your husband a long lasting relationship!”

Medea smiled contentedly at her reflection in the mirror, full of confidence. “We will.”

When Sadie saw Eliza, she was stunned. “Eliza, are you really wearing this?”

“What’s wrong?” Eliza glanced at her outfit, thinking there was nothing wrong. It was just like usual.

“Today’s the ASKHEART launch. I thought you’d dress up for the occasion.”

“The focus of the launch is on Enzo and his team. They are the core technical personnel of ASKHEART. I’m just an investor, and it wouldn’t be right to steal the spotlight.”

Eliza’s explanation seemed perfectly reasonable.

Sadie suddenly had a broader perspective.

She thought to herself, “Following Eliza really helps me learn important things!”

The press conference was scheduled for 9 AM, and Eliza arrived at the hotel at 7:30.

This habit of hers was a result of being trained by Calvin, the perfectionist.

She always arrived early to confirm every detail to ensure nothing went wrong.

And if something did go wrong, she was prepared with a backup plan.

After confirming everything, Eliza communicated with Enzo.

Everything was set…

But…

No one showed up.

Not a single reporter had arrived.

Enzo was visibly anxious, wiping the sweat from his forehead repeatedly.

Sadie was also worried.

She kept running outside, looking and looking again.

There were plenty of people, but they were all at the Flying celebratory banquet.

Not a single person had come to the ASKHEART press conference.

The stark contrast between the two events was undeniable.
