uch a grand gesture definitely deserved a thank you.

liza simply sent two words to Baxter: “Thank you.”

laxter, who was at a drinking party at the time, saw the message and quickly replied.

axter replied, “I gave it away.”

ideon was surprised, “You gave away such good champagne? Who did you give it to? You’re so generous!”

Do I need to report this to you?” Baxter leaned back comfortably in his seat, clearly not willing to talk more.

o matter how Gideon pressed, Baxter wouldn’t say a word.

Fine, hide it as long as you want! Let’s see how long you can keep it a secret!”

ideon glanced at Calvin.

ince the start of the drinking session, Calvin had been sitting there, looking at his phone, his expression neutral, making it hard to tell what he was thinking.

Are you sending messages to Medea?” Gideon asked.

alvin neither confirmed nor denied.

ideon continued, “Medea must be feeling really bad right now. She didn’t even come to drink. The whole reason I organized this was to comfort her.”

peaking of this, Gideon couldn’t help but sigh, “Who could have expected Eliza actually won this project? We all underestimated her. She’s really bold, daring

sign a bet agreement with Mr. Woods. Not many people have that kind of courage.”

uddenly, Gideon remembered something and said, “She kind of reminds me of Calvin back in the day! Daring, fearless, and willing to take risks! They say eople in business are gamblers, and I never believed it until now!”

Then Eliza was brought up, Gideon couldn’t help but gossip, “Calvin, do you really think you’ve moved on from Eltza?”

rom Calvin’s attitude toward Fliza recently, it seemed like he hadn’t.

I never picked her up, so there’s nothing to let go of ”

ideon, “…”

Tonestly, even as a man, Gideon found those words cold

Jaxter teased, “Calvin only has Medea in his heart, why do you keep asking such meaningless questions?”

Gideon grumbled, “I’m just curious.”

Gideon sneered, “You said the same thing last time.”

“It’s different this time,” Baxter smirked, “I’m serious this time.”

Gideon couldn’t resist asking more questions, but Baxter refused to tell him who it was, acting like he was afraid Gideon might steal her away.

Meanwhile, Calvin remained silent in the corner, watching the two of them, his mood growing darker by the moment.

After the team–building event, Eliza instructed Sadie to send a lawyer’s letter to Vivian.

She had been in a good mood at the time and didn’t want such unpleasant matters to affect her, so she hadn’t mentioned it.

But that didn’t mean she had forgotten.

Sadie immediately rushed to send the letter to Vivian.

That same day, Vivian received the lawyer’s letter.

she rushed to Medea’s office to complain, not even bothering to knock on the door.

Cousin, Eliza is too much! She sent me a lawyer’s letter! She’s suing me for defamation!” Vivian’s face turned red with anger, “Cousin, you have to help me!”

Medea, already in a bad mood, felt even worse when Vivian started crying.

Who told you to be so impulsive? You should know Eliza is someone who holds grudges.”

Vivian felt aggrieved, “I was just so mad, and I was standing up for you!”

Medea glanced at the lawyer’s letter.

liza demanded that Vivian publicly apologize and pay compensation.

The compensation part was negotiable, but a public apology could cause a huge impact.

After a moment of contemplation, Medea decided to advise Vivian, “Go to Apex in person and apologize to Eliza.”

I don’t want to!” Vivian nearly jumped up, “I can’t lower my pride!”

You still want to marry into a rich family, don’t you?” Medea reasoned, analyzing the pros and cons, “Do you understand how big an impact a public apology

ould have?”

Vivian fell silent.

I know you can’t swallow this, but can I? But is now the time to be petty? She’s in the spotlight now, and confronting her directly is like throwing eggs at a

ock!”

Vivian sulked, “Then what should I do?”

Endure for now. Just because you can’t deal with her now doesn’t mean you won’t be able to later. Wait for the right opportunity.”

A deep, cold glint flashed in Medea’s eyes.

In the end, Vivian still went to Apex to apologize in person.

However, she didn’t meet Eliza. liza had Instructed Sadle to convey her message.

She made Vivian stand at the entrance and say “Liza, I’m sorry” 250 times.
