Chapter 178
Regina angrily threw her nail polish aside.
The Wade family has lost their minds!”
Medea, ber mood affected, didn’t chat long with Regina.
After returning to her room and taking a shower, she was about to send a message to Calvin when she saw a text from Vivian asking if she had gotten in touch with those two friends.
Medea’s heart sank
How could she have forgotten about this?
That night, she had someone investigate the two friends of Vivian, but only managed to find one of them.
The next day, she went to meet the person.
The individual was hesitant at first, refusing to speak the truth. It wasn’t until Medea applied some pressure and used a few tactics that the person finally
pened up.
Actually, that night, we failed the person explained.
Medea froze. “What do you mean?”
The person went on “We drugged the woman that night, right? But before we could get her back to the room, someone spotted us. The man must have known er, and he took her right from our hands.”
Do you know who the man is?” Medea immediately asked.
he person replied. I didn’t know at first, but yesterday I saw him in the news.”
he person eagerly pulled up the news from yesterday and showed it to Medea. Trs this man! He took the woman away from us?”
When Medea saw the person in the photo, her face changed drastically!
To wonder!
uddenly, many questions that had been bothering her in her heart made sense.
Lfter leaving the café, Medea’s face darkened
be sent a message to Vivian: “That night, Eliza was taken away by Baxters”
Bis answer was hard for Vivian to accepit.
Why? Why would it be Baxter?”
he had worked so hard to get close to Baxter, only to be rejected at every turn.
And Fleza?
In a critical moment, Baxter had saved her!
Medea also wanted to know the reason.
But Vivian was preoccupied with something else. “Cousin, do you think my past scandals were exposed by Baxter?”
Medea was at a loss for an answer.
Chapter 178
“But why would he do that? Why does he want to ruin me?” Vivian was confused.
She couldn’t understand why Baxter would want to destroy her; she never thought she had offended him to such an extent.
“Maybe it’s because of Eliza?” Medea could only think of this reason.
But had Baxter really developed such deep feelings for Eliza?
After the Wade Auto Group’s new car launch event, Eliza was busier than ever.
Despite her hectic schedule, she made time to do one thing every day. contact Byron.
The methods that Xander had considered, Eliza had already thought of.
In fact, after learning that Byron had left Everup, Eliza had already started planning.
She had tried to reach out to him, but every attempt had failed.
She even tried contacting people she knew who were connected to Byron, but still, there was no response.
After exhausting every possible method, there was only one left.
Ask Calvin for help.
n the business world, it’s inevitable to need to rely on others at times. There are no absolute enemies, nor absolute friends. Everything is driven by interests.
To matter how much you dislike someone, if it benefits you, you have to swallow your pride.
o Eliza decided to remove Calvin from her blacklist on Facebook.
Vith a mindset of “it’s worth a try,” she sent a smiley emoji.
he was prepared to be blocked, after all, she had blocked him for over half a year, so if he blocked her, it would be completely understandable.
However, the expected red exclamation mark did not appear. The message went through smoothly.
liza was confused.
le hadn’t blocked her?
What was going on?
Before she could figure it out, Calvin replied, “What’s up?”
fis quick reply caught Eliza off guard.
But she quickly regained her composure, typed a message, and sent it: “I need your help with something. Mr. Young”
Calvin replied, “You know my rules. If you want me to do something, you need to offer something in return. I’m not a charity.”
Eliza cursed Calvin mentally before replying with, “What’s the deal?”
If he asked for anything unreasonable, she’d immediately screenshot it and send it to Meden.
‘Eliza, I want some cake.”
That was his request?
So strange!
Chapter 178
As if he was certain she would agree, Calvin sent another message, “This time, I want you to make it yourself. Don’t try to fool me with store bought cakes like
last time.”
Eliza: “…”
He can actually tell the difference?
Looks like she couldn’t use the same trick this time.
Eliza asked for his address and said she would bring it over after making the cake.
Calvin sent a location.
When she saw it, Eliza realized it was the same hotel as last time, and the room number hadn’t changed.
Probably to avoid Medea finding out and getting jealous, he chose to meet at the hotel.
Eliza made a simple cake.
He had only said he wanted her to make it, not that it had to be perfectly crafted.
As long as it was edible.
he arrived after finishing work, but Calvin had already been waiting at the hotel.
When she knocked on the door, it opened immediately.
alvin had just finished his shower and was wearing only a bathrobe.
he collar was loose, revealing a glimpse of his chest muscles.
liza quickly looked away and handed him the cake.
alvin didn’t take it immediately. His tone was somewhat teasing. “I need to inspect the goods first to make sure you didn’t try to fool me.”
uite demanding.
Being Eliza’s guarded expression, he chuckled.
Why so tense? I’m not going to eat you.”
e then ignored her and went back inside, using a towel to dry his hair.
liza didn’t dwell on it and went straight inside to place the cake on the dining table.
alvin slowly dried his hair and asked Fliza, “You came to see me, right? You want Byron’s contact info?”
liza wasn’t surprised he had guessed her intention She admitted frankly, “Yes.”
Are you sure you can convince him?”
have to try,” she replied.
alvin chuckled softly. “Alright, you’re good at winning people over He should be persuaded by you
liza didn’t have time for his small talk. Business was business.
Then could you kindly give me Byron’s contact info?” she said in a professional tone, dearly uninterested in getting entangled further with him.
alvin’s eyes darkened in the bright light of the room as he stared at her.
fter a long pause, he said, “Eliza, you’re really heartless.”
Cool One Day a Queen
Chapter 178
Eliza: “???”
How could he say that with a clear conscience?
But before Eliza could speak, Calvin muttered. “This is fine. Keep it up.”
liza felt like she couldn’t understand this man at all.
But she didn’t want to understand either.
alvin grabbed a pen and paper, wrote down Byron’s phone number, and handed it to Eliza.
he thanked him briefly and was about to leave.
Calvin opened the cake, took a piece, and popped it into his mouth.
fter tasting it, his expression softened, and he relaxed.
1st as Eliza was about to step out the door, he slowly spoke, “Eliza, I’m getting engaged. Aren’t you going to wish me luck?”
