Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139

Gideon, who had been watching the scene, spoke up, “Wade Auto Group recently reached a strategic partnership with ASKHEART. I guess Baxter is talking business with Eliza, it’s been a while.”

Medea withdrew her gaze nonchalantly.

she had overthought it.

30th Baxter and Gideon disliked Eliza.

Moreover, Eliza’s background didn’t stand out in the circle of the powerful.

No matter how beautiful she was, Baxter could never be interested in her.

On the surface, he was friendly to her, but that was only because of their cooperation, a courtesy.

He would never spare her a second glance in private!

Vivian, still feeling a little jealous, reassured Medea not to take it to heart.

ust then, Baxter returned.

le actually wanted to chat with Eliza a bit longer, but she seemed to be quite busy, with many people approaching her.

taying there would only interfere, so he wisely left.

When he saw Medea, he greeted her and asked, “How’s Calvin? Is he feeling better?”

He was almost fully recovered, but now his condition’s worsened again. He’s still in the hospital receiving fluids. He couldn’t attend the conference, so I’m here

1 his place.”

axter frowned, “How did he get so sick? He only caught a cold from the rain, and now he’s bedridden?”

efore Medea could answer, someone else approached her.

Senior.”

I was Xander.

Medea was surprised to see him, “What are you doing here?”

I’m here for the conference too,” Xander explained.

Does Watts Group have investments in Washington?” Medea asked.

Yeah, but not many. We’re planning to invest more this year,” Xander replied.

Medea’s interest was piqued, “We should talk more later, maybe we can collaborate on a project.”

Sure.” Xander agreed without hesitation.

Before the conference began, Medea went to the restroom to touch up her makeup.

Vivian, curious, asked her, “Cousin, does Xander like you?”

While Medea was applying lipstick, she replied, “He pursued me back in business school.”

‘Did you accept?”

“No.” Medea shook her head, “I was with Josh at the time.”

Vivian quickly realized, “Oh, right.”

“When he found out I had a boyfriend, he stopped pursuing me, but he’s always admired me,” Meden continued.

Vivian had always admired Medea, knowing just how much attraction she had over men.

She wasn’t surprised that Xander liked Medea.

Medea carefully put away her lipstick and adjusted her hair, “I didn’t expect him to be the heir of Watts Group. Back in school, he was just a poor student working part–time to earn living expenses. I helped him twice, and he’s always remembered and appreciated it.”

There was definitely some attraction.

Medea, as a woman, could understand the way men looked at her.

But now that she was with Calvin, she wouldn’t consider Xander.

However, she’d definitely use this connection to her advantage.

A man’s admiration and love were powerful weapons.

When the two women returned from the restroom, they saw Eliza standing by the hallway, talking on the phone.

Vivian sneered and deliberately spoke loudly, “Calvin really cares for you, doesn’t he? To help you secure your position in Everest, he gave you the management rights to Everup, and now he even has you represent him at the Entrepreneurs Conference. Isn’t that what married couples do?”

Eliza found her voice irritating and moved her phone away slightly.

But Vivian didn’t stop and raised her voice even more, “So what if you’ve been a loyal dog for seven years? If he doesn’t like you, it doesn’t matter how much you do. True love is when the person cares about you even when you do nothing, just by standing there.”

After Eliza hung up, she walked straight toward them.

Her presence made Vivian, who had been arrogantly speaking, shrink back for a moment.

“When I asked you to apologize, why didn’t you talk so loudly?” Eliza’s imposing aura was quite intimidating.

Vivian had always relied on Medea’s power to act tough, but with Eliza’s direct confrontation, she bit her lip, not daring to speak.

After all, the apology video was still in Eliza’s hands.

If Eliza got angry and made it public, how could Vivian show her face in the future?

So, she could only look toward Medea for help.

Medea pulled her away, “Let’s go, don’t make trouble.”

Today, she was here representing Calvin, and causing a scene would only bring trouble to him.

It was better to keep a low profile.

Medea pulled Vivian away without confronting Eliza directly.

On the other side, Xander seemed to notice the situation but didn’t know exactly what had happened because of the distance

He assumed that Medea was facing some trouble, so he immediately walked over to her “Medea, do you need help?”

Medea shook her head, “No, it’s just a troublesome person. Ignore them.”

Xander then glanced over at Eliza.

That look was full of hostility.
