Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106

But she still didn’t forget to remind Medea, “So, you should strike while the iron is hot and quickly settle things with him! Don’t drag it out, or you’ll end up regretting it later!”

“It won’t happen. Calvin is sincere with me,” Medea replied, reassuringly.

“But sincerity can change in an instant! Can you guarantee he’ll always care about you like this? I know men better than you. You need to find a way to lock him down! Don’t let it be another seven years wasted, like with Josh!”

Medea immediately straightened up. “I understand.”

“Put more effort into it. Sometimes, subtlety doesn’t work. If necessary, you have to take some actions. Playing hard to get won’t always get you what you want. Learn from me.”

Regina whispered these words, not wanting anyone to overhear.

Medea bit her lip, not saying anything.

As mother and daughter, Regina could tell exactly what her expression meant. Frowning, she asked, “You two still haven’t made any real progress?”

“…Calvin respects me,” Medea could only say.

Regina’s expression darkened. “Respect? What does that even mean between a man and a woman? I’ve put so much effort into helping you, and there’s been no real progress!”

Regina was referring to the “effort” of burning down their house to force Medea into a situation where she had no choice but to live with Calvin, setting the stage for them to grow closer.

But today was an important day for Medea, so Regina refrained from pushing too hard.

“Don’t drag this out. Get it done.”

“I know,” Medea said.

After Medea’s parents arrived, the celebratory banquet officially began.

The host came on stage to kick off the event, and Gideon couldn’t help but marvel at Calvin’s extravagance.

Even the host was the top star from the city’s main broadcasting station.

Baxter sat beside him, but the event had already started, and he still hadn’t shown up.

Gideon quickly called Baxter.

To his surprise, not only did Baxter not answer, but he also blocked the call.

Gideon was confused. What was going on?

He tried again, but the call was cut off even quicker.

While the host introduced the event’s purpose and agenda, Medea walked over to Gideon and asked about the situation.

“Why hasn’t Josh shown up yet?”

“I was just about to ask the same thing!” Gideon was even more anxious than she was.

“I’ll call him again.”

Gideon dialed Josh’s number again.

But it was blocked too.

He was stunned. “What’s going on? Why is everyone blocking my calls?”

Medea looked at the two empty seats at the main table, and her expression changed subtly.

Just then, Calvin patted her on the shoulder. “Get ready, it’s your turn to go on stage.”

Medea’s anxiety melted away when she heard his voice.

It didn’t matter if Josh didn’t show up.

It didn’t matter if Baxter left early.

She still had Calvin.

Having Calvin was enough.

When the host had built up the excitement to its peak, Medea stepped onto the stage to give her speech.

The lights flashed, and the crowd was in a frenzy.

Seeing all the excitement around her, Medea’s last bit of hesitation vanished.

Only a sense of achievement remained.

This kind of grand scene, Eliza would never experience in her lifetime!

Medea gracefully took the microphone, and as the successful one, she thanked the friends, family, and media who attended the Flying celebratory banquet.

At events like this, it was common to tell a story, to show emotion.

Medea spoke about how difficult it was to bring the project to life, and how all the hard work had paid off.

It seemed as though all the success was hers alone.

But in reality, she was just an investor in the entire project.

When it came time to showcase the project’s results, the host suddenly interjected, “Director Wynn, your friend, Mr. Gideon, has opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate. Why don’t we toast and review the project’s achievements?”

It was a great suggestion, and everyone agreed. Medea, of course, had no objections.

She personally opened the champagne, and amidst the applause, she filled the champagne tower.

The glass at the top was hers.

The rest were distributed by the staff.

Once everyone had their glasses, Medea raised hers.

As she thanked everyone for their support, she announced the latest download numbers for Flying.

At that moment, she was full of confidence, her face beaming with a victor’s smile.

This part of the event had been designed by Medea herself.

She wanted to reveal Flying’s latest download numbers at the celebratory banquet.

Thanks to their heavy marketing push, she had enough confidence.

She was looking forward to hearing the loudest applause of the day.

But as she unveiled the download rankings, the lively atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

It was eerily quiet.

Medea paused in confusion.

Could it be that everyone was shocked by the download numbers of Flying?

It wasn’t impossible!

Flying had topped the download chart three days after its launch.

She had been checking the data daily, which was why she was so confident.

“Let’s raise our glasses, everyone,” she said again, inviting everyone to toast with her.

But the people in the audience had varying expressions and didn’t raise their glasses.

Medea finally realized something was wrong.

She hurriedly turned around and looked at the screen behind her.

When she saw the name at the top of the list, her face changed drastically.

How could ASKHEART be number one in downloads?!

She was so angry her hand shook, spilling the champagne in her glass.

Fortunately, Calvin reacted quickly, calling for the broadcast to be stopped and changing the screen.

In front of the media and under everyone’s gaze, Medea could only pretend to stay calm and quickly adjusted her speech. “Flying has topped the download charts for seven consecutive days after its launch, and the numbers are very encouraging…”

But before she could finish, a reporter hurriedly grabbed his camera and left.

“Quick, hurry over! If we’re late, we’ll lose our spot!”
