Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 134

In today’s society, mistresses are like rats in the street, everyone wants to beat them.

Vivian couldn’t stand seeing Eliza so glamorous, so she publicly criticized her in front of the media. Her goal was to make Eliza the target of public scorn. Even if Eliza took the project, Vivian would still try to tear her down!

That was her purpose!

Everyone loves gossip, especially journalists. The first thing they did was ask Eliza if she had stolen someone’s man, if she was the other woman.

Microphones were almost shoved into her face.

Enzo immediately stepped forward to push them away, angrily trying to defend Eliza.

Eliza held him back.

When he looked at her, she shook her head, signaling him to stay calm.

At that moment, Eliza stepped forward, facing everyone, facing all the media.

The room suddenly fell silent. Everyone was waiting for her answer.

n the face of Vivian’s humiliation and provocation, Eliza didn’t even lift her eyes. She gave a slight sneer, “Stole a man?”

Then she raised an eyebrow, casually adding, “What’s so interesting about stealing a man? Stealing a man’s job is what’s interesting.”

Everyone understood the mockery in her words.

After all, she had just taken the port renovation project from Everest, which was stealing Calvin’s job.

Medea and Calvin witnessed this scene firsthand.

fter losing to Eliza once again, Medea’s face turned pale. Her hand that hung by her side slowly clenched into a fist.

At that moment, she just wanted to leave as quickly as possible, so she subconsciously looked toward Calvin.

he hoped he would shield her from the storm, just like last time, and take her away from the center of the storm.

Calvin, I want to go back.”

or the first time, Calvin didn’t respond.

hough he was standing right next to her, his gaze was fixed on Eliza not far away.

or a long time.

o long that when she called out to him, he ignored her.

liza wasn’t affected by Vivian’s rabid attacks.

fter all, she had just secured the biggest project of her career, something worth celebratingt

hat evening, she took the entire Apex team and Enzo’s studio to the Serenity Hot Springs for a team building celebration.

n the past, when she was working to save costs for Calvin, she only chose venues with high cost performance for team building events.

Seven Years a Fool, One Day a Queen

Chapter 134

The manager in charge of reception addressed her as “President Grant” and gathered everyone to receive the guests.

Eliza noticed a familiar face among the staff.

Sadie was the first to speak up in surprise, “Amanda? What are you doing here?”

Amanda didn’t expect to run into her former boss. She wanted to avoid her but it was too late, so she could only brace herself and reply, “I work here.”

The manager, seeing that Amanda was a familiar face, immediately assigned her the reception duties.

He repeatedly emphasized, “President Grant is our VIP guest. You must serve her well and make sure she feels at home. Understand?”

Amanda bit her lip and lowered her head.

‘Did you hear me?” The manager stressed again.

Amanda could only speak up, but her voice lacked confidence, “I heard you.”

Sadie whispered in Eliza’s ear, “When Everest had their team–building event here, Amanda got drunk and flattered Medea, saying that she only got to come to such a high–end place because of Medea. She said she used to live a poor life.”

Actually, Amanda’s words were even worse than Sadie let on.

he had also said that Eliza was too self–righteous, thinking she was going to be the future boss of Everest, controlling everything and being frugal–no vision at ll. She even said Eliza would eventually be kicked to the curb by Calvin.

liza had always known what kind of person Amanda was.

But hearing this again, she didn’t feel much anymore.

Vith a carefree smile, she replied, “So, she’s living a good life now.”

adie was stunned, “…I didn’t know Eliza was so funny!”

This is called a boomerang. What goes around, comes around,” Eliza said with a lighthearted tone.

adie was very pleased. “You see, I left Everest just like Amanda, but we’re both able to find jobs, while she’s stuck as a waitress? That’s karma!”

efore dinner, Elíza, Sadie, and Enzo had a meeting to discuss follow–up work arrangements.

fatilda said he had already listed a few good construction companies and could start negotiations soon.

liza gave him a Facebook contact.

When Matilda found out that the person was Mr. Youngnderson from Skyline Construction, he was astonished. “President Grant, when did you get connected with Skyline Construction?”

Met him at a party before,” Eliza explained.

adie knew that Grayson had taken Bliza to a few parties and banquets, but even so, it was unlikely that she could have made an impression on a company as arge as Skyline Construction.

irayson had clout, but he had been in retirement for years.

Jusinessmen are driven by profit, and they wouldn’t necessarily give him face.

Moreover, Eliza’s company, Apex, had no connection to the Young family’s group, so someone like Mr. Youngnderson, a savvy businessman, would definitely

lave concerns.

That’s why Sadie was so surprised.

Eliza casually mentioned the tough words she had exchanged with Calvin,

Chapter 134

“I told Calvin, If I win and you’ll feel bad, then I’m definitely going to win this time!‘ The goal was to get Calvin and Medea to take the project seriously. Medea didn’t want to lose to me, so she would do everything she could. With Calvin supporting her, he’d definitely make a big show of backing her up.”

You see, if even Calvin from Everest is taking this project seriously, it’s a good project. Can Mr. Youngnderson not be interested?”

sadie suddenly slapped his thigh, “I get it! I get it!”

As someone who worked in investment banking, he immediately understood the business strategy after Eliza explained it to him.
