Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126

Normally disinterested in getting involved in such disputes, Grayson suddenly spoke up. “She is not my son’s girlfriend.”

The atmosphere grew a little awkward.

Cough… “Mr. Young’s girlfriend is over there.”

The other person quickly explained, pointing in another direction.

Eliza followed the direction and saw Medea surrounded by a crowd.

Coincidentally, Medea’s dress today was also black, just like Eliza’s.

However, the two women were slightly different in figure and their jewelry was also distinct.

Medea wore her hair in soft curls, with a bright makeup look.

she was adorned with a full set of diamond jewelry that sparkled under the lights, clearly of considerable value.

Eliza, on the other hand, had her hair styled up in an elegant yet bold bun. She had a top tier bone structure, which made her appear even more poised when paired with such a demanding look.

Moreover, she wore a set of Kashmir sapphire jewelry, its aura entirely dominating the room and making her the center of attention.

Before her arrival, the focus of the room had been on Medea.

After hearing that she was Mr. Young’s girlfriend, people flocked to flatter her, making her feel superior.

For this event, she had made extensive preparations, selecting the most expensive dress from Luxe Atelier, wearing the most exquisite jewelry, and applying a lelicate makeup look.

But all of this was overshadowed the moment Eliza entered.

he set of jewelry she wore–one single gem on her necklace–was more valuable than Medea’s entire set of jewelry.

Iad it not been for her need to maintain her image, she would have taken it off in a heartbeat.

hose who had been flattering Medea turned their attention to Eliza.

That woman is stunning. Who is she?”

Did you see the jewelry she’s wearing? That sapphire is rare–each piece is expensive, and she’s wearing a full set! A collection grade set! I have to go check it

ut.”

I’ll go too.”

efore long, half of the people around Medea had left. Her face quickly turned cold.

Vivian, displeased, remarked, “Why is Eliza so hard to shake off? Didn’t you say this banquet was very exclusive, and without an invitation, you can’t even get n? How did Eliza get in?”

What Medea had said was true.

f it weren’t for Calvin, she wouldn’t have been able to attend such an event.

As for Eliza… If it weren’t for Grayson, she wouldn’t have been able to attend eithert

That was what made Medea feel the most envious and bothered.

Chapter 126

Why was Grayson so kind to Eliza?

Vivian didn’t know Grayson, but seeing Eliza constantly staying close to him, she maliciously guessed, “She must have latched onto that old man next to her! Shameless! And he’s a crippled old man! She really has no standards! Can’t believe she would be with him!”

“Stop talking nonsense.” Medea scolded Vivian, her eyes darkening as she explained, “That’s Calv’s father.”

Vivian, “…”

She was momentarily stunned but then sneered and asked, “Didn’t my brother–in–law say that his father doesn’t like to socialize, and won’t even meet you? Why can Eliza be the exception? And why is she attending the banquet with him?”

The more she spoke, the colder Medea’s expression became.

‘Enough! Don’t mention her again, I don’t want to hear it.” Medea turned and walked away.

Vivian quickly followed her.

Eliza accompanied Grayson for a while during the socializing.

Grayson told her to go ahead and take a break, have some food, meet some people, and not stay by his side all the time.

Alright, let me know if you need anything.”

he had been busy getting ready for the event, working on her styling, then picking up Grayson, and didn’t even get a chance to eat dinner.

Now, she was feeling a little hungry, so she grabbed a snack and found a quieter spot to eat.

While socializing with Grayson earlier, she had noticed a man and made sure to get his contact details.

le was Mr. Caldwell from Skyline Construction.

f she could win the bid for the port renovation project, they might cooperate with Skyline Construction in the future.

hat was why she proactively added Mr. Caldwell’s contact information.

he high–standard snacks at this event were better than the ones outside.

liza ate several pieces to fill her stomach, and just as she was about to return to find Grayson, someone approached her.

[ she hadn’t overheard her name, she might have just left.

ut she couldn’t help but hear someone speaking ill of her.

Medea had intended to socialize more, but since everyone was talking about Eliza, she lost interest and just wanted to find a quiet place.

uckily, Vivian was with her.

‘ivian comforted her, “Cousin, don’t let that bitch Eliza get to you. You’ve already said, she won’t be on top for long. She’s not worth your attention!”

Besides, you’ve got my brother–in–law! He treats you so well, lets you pick any dress and jewelry you want, gives you an unlimited black card to spend on vhatever! I’ve never spent such a big amount before. It’s amazing!”

Whether it was Vivian’s comforting words or something else, Meden felt her mood lift. She even said, “I bought a lot of jewelry today. If you like anything. Fl ive you some.”

Thank you! After all, my brother in law will send you more gifts!” Vivian was delighted. “You should be happy too. You look so beautiful today, and when your rother in law comes to pick you up, he’ll definitely be smittent

Mentioning Calvin made Medea’s mood instantly improve, and the corners of her lips involuntarily curled up. “Caly should be landing soon.”

No sooner had she finished speaking, her phone rang.
