Chapter 109
Gideon opened the magazine and was shocked.
Wasn’t the special feature and cover story of this finance magazine supposed to be about Medea?
Why had it suddenly changed to Eliza?
Gideon could only pray that Medea hadn’t seen it yet.
Luckily, it hadn’t been long since it was sent out, so he could still retract it.
Before doing so, he didn’t forget to give Baxter a nudge.
axter immediately understood and retracted the message he had sent as well.
heir little “cover–up” didn’t manage to fix anything, though.
ecause Medea had already seen it; she just didn’t say anything.
r perhaps, she didn’t know what to say.
ut privately, she called the editor–in–chief of the finance magazine and questioned them.
he editor explained that it was the higher–ups‘ decision and that the magazine needed the publicity and sales, hoping Medea would understand their position.
ledea hung up the phone angrily, her expression darkening.
ivian quickly tried to calm her down. “Cousin, have some coffee to relax. These people just pick sides. Eliza’s project ASKHEART has taken off, and the hype is igh. Right now, we’re no match for her.”
Jut she won’t stay on top for long!” Vivian said confidently. “Cousin, you’re a PhD in Economics from WT Business School. You’re the pride of both the Wynn id Doyle families. That’s a height Eliza will never reach in her lifetime!”
sn’t your brother–in–law the one who recognized your talent and brought you back after three visits? Don’t let this temporary setback get you down.”
edea did feel a little better after hearing these words.
lright, let’s touch up your makeup quickly. Isn’t your brother in law coming to pick you up to the resort for some relaxation? Cheer up!”
kay”
inking of how Calvin was looking out for her, worried that she might feel down because of Flying losing to ASKHEART, he had specifically made me to take
r to the resort to unwind.
er mood lifted again.
eing that she had cheered up, Vivian seized the opportunity to bring up her request Cousin, how’s the favor I asked you about?”
11 ask Baxter now if he can join us at the resort.”
edea linmediately took out her phone and sent a message to Baxter, asking if he wanted to go to the resort
axter replied after a while, “Tin quite busy recently, I can’t make it You all enjoy yourselves.”
vian was disappointed that Baxter couldn’t come.
edea comforted her. “We’ll find another chance. Don’t worry, I’ve got this.”

Chapter 109
Eliza hesitated for a second before understanding.
After all, they were father and son, and it was normal for Calvin to be there.
She just wondered if Medea was there.
But whether Medea was there or not didn’t matter to Eliza.
She was there to see Grayson, and the others didn’t concern her.
So she walked in confidently.
The living room only had Grayson, and there was no sign of Calvin.
There were no other guests.
Grayson was drinking tea.
Eliza casually handed over the gift she had brought. “This is some tea I had someone buy from the origin. Uncle Young please try it and see if it’s authentic.”
“Good,” Grayson said, playing along. He brewed the tea and poured a cup for Eliza.
Eliza took it with both hands.
After tasting it, Grayson highly praised the tea leaves. “This ancient tree tea is very rare. You’ve put a lot of thought into it.”
It wasn’t too much trouble. A friend of mine is from that area, and she helped me out,” Eliza explained.
Nancy, standing nearby, laughed. “Calv sent the same tea. You two are quite in sync, were you two in cahoots?”
Eliza thought for a moment before responding, “If we were in sync, we wouldn’t be sending the same thing.”
Calvin came out of the kitchen with soup just as she finished speaking.
Her tone was calm, as if she was talking about something insignificant.
For some reason, Calvin suddenly found himself reminiscing about the time when Eliza had curled up in his arms, saying she wanted to spend her life with
him.
It felt like it was from a lifetime ago, even though it had only been three months.
It felt so distant, so Murry, like a memory that wasn’t even real.
Nancy realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly changed the topic. “We’re in for a treat today Caly has cooked a few dishes himself
Fiza didn’t know that Calvin could cook
At the New Year’s banquet, she had assumed it was her mother who made the food and Calvin was just helping out
In seven years of being together, she had never seen tum cook, let alone taste his cooking
