Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185

After Eliza finished talking with Erik, she asked Sadie to organize the details of the Cloudream press conference; she wanted to take a look.

Sadie hesitated, “Maybe you should skip it. There’s nothing worth watching.”

“Why?” Eliza asked, confused.

Sadie pouted, muttering, “The game press conference was hijacked by relationship drama.”

Eliza remained calm, insisting that Sadie send her the conference details.

The first half of the conference had focused on Cloudream, but after one of the reporters veered off–topic, it turned into a relationship showcase.

sadie, probably still irritated, had even edited out the second half of the video.

earing there might be important details missing, Eliza decided to search for Cloudream’s official Tik to check out the content herself.

The most liked post, however, had nothing to do with the game.

liza was about to scroll down to look at the videos related to the game when the screen suddenly cut to Calvin.

he paused for a moment.

he next second, she heard Calvin’s heartfelt confession.

she’s so exceptional, how could I bear to trap her in marriage? Even if we get married, she will be free, with her own space to soar.]

liza lowered her gaze with a slight sneer. It was certainly quite a heartfelt statement.

o, this was what he was like when he truly loved someone.

I was almost laughable. After knowing him for over seven years, this was the first time Eliza had witnessed this side of Calvin.

ut it didn’t matter anymore.

he swiped the video away and briefly looked at the Cloudream video content and its feedback. From the promotional release to the internal testing and press onference, the content presented was mostly based on what Erik had worked on during his time at SciGames.

lowever, there had been some changes to the character designs, especially the female characters‘ outfits, which leaned heavily toward a more seductive style.

1st as she closed the video, her phone rang. It was Belle.

liza answered, and before she could say anything, Belle started ranting.

That Medea is Calvin’s mistress, right? She’s got the looks but does nothing useful!”

How many views did that video get? So many likes! It’s as if she’s begging the whole world to know that that dog Calvin confessed to her!

I left a comment under the video calling her a mistress, and my comment got deleted instantly, and my account got blocked! She must be guilty!

This world is like a giant logistics station, with big packages and small ones. Some are labeled, some aren’t!

liza, knowing Belle’s temperament, let her vent. She switched the phone to speaker mode and continued with her work

After Belle had vented enough, she finally asked Eliza, “Didn’t Medea lose to you in two projects? she’s starting a new one already? She really is an ndestructible cockroach, the more she gets knocked down, the more she bounces back!”

liza smiled. “That’s because someone is backing her up. She has top tier connections and resources. Even if she falls a thousand times, Calvin will pick her up

Chapter 185

“You’re still laughing!” Belle nearly exploded with anger.

she couldn’t stay calm.

Every time she saw those two scumbags flaunting their love, she felt enraged on Eliza’s behalf.

he had been with Calvin for seven years, and he had never acknowledged her, let alone publicly recognized her.

liza had been so humble back then, even proposing to him and accepting a secret marriage.

et even then, Calvin never showed any tenderness toward her.

low he was openly flaunting his love with Medea, completely disregarding Eliza’s feelings!

low could she not be angry?

he could barely hold herself back from stabbing those two scumbags!

Liza reassured her, “I’ve got some good news for you to calm down.”

What good news?”

fter the launch of Wade Auto Group’s autonomous driving cars, the company secured several more deals. Your value just went up!”

How much?” Belle, as expected, was distracted by the new information.

iza told her the amount.

elle screamed in excitement, “Eliza, I love you! I’ll be your assistant for life!”

re you still angry?” Eliza asked with a smile.

lle laughed happily, like a fool. “Angry? Who would be angry? Only useless people get angry! Sudden wealth cures all ailments!”

deed, the joy of making money was far more interesting than dealing with men.

e suddenly understood Eliza so much more. No wonder she wasn’t interested in men anymore!

fore Cloudream’s official launch, Medea and the founder of the game, Lucas, had an exclusive interview with a prominent media outlet.

ey were basking in glory.

though Gideon couldn’t attend to support them, he expressed his support in their group chat, saying he would buy 20,000 copies of the magazine to show his pport!

‘course, he also wanted to make up for the embarrassment from the last time.

tagged Josh and Baxter, asking them to show their support too.

it no one paid him any attention.

ey were all too busy!

ter the interview, the editor in chief of the magazine personally came to thank Medea and presented her with the latest issue of the magazine,

‘hen Medea saw Eliza’s face on the cover, her expression stiffened

it she forced a smule and thanked the editor for the gift, accepting the magazine.

hen she got home, she threw the magazine on the floor to vent her frustration.

Chapter 185

Caesar, who rarely came home, was sitting in the living room watching financial news.

The news was also reporting on Eliza!

“Dad!” Medea shouted at him in anger, “Turn off the TV!”

“What’s going on? Why the big reaction?” Caesar asked, worried.

She didn’t want to explain her anger, so she simply said her head hurt and didn’t want to hear anything else.

‘Are you sick? Should I take you to the hospital?”

‘No need, I’ll go lie down in my room and rest.” Medea didn’t stay to drink tea or chat about work like she usually did with Caesar.

nstead, she went straight to her room and didn’t even eat dinner.

Vivian sent her some photos and videos of the venue preparations for the engagement ceremony.

Since she was busy with domestic work, she had left Vivian on the island to supervise.

Some of the photos turned out really well, and Medea couldn’t help but share them in the group, asking everyone for their opinion on which decoration looked

he best.

s she was typing, the group exploded.

t was Gideon who posted a screenshot of the Washington wealth rankings, shouting, “What the heck! I see what?! Eliza is on the wealth rankings!”

The richest woman in Washington?”

What the hell?!”

Medea stopped typing immediately.

[er expression was ugly, but she still clicked on the screenshot Gideon had sent.

he list was from the latest week, and Eliza had claimed the title of Washington’s richest woman, thanks to ASKHEART and its related industry chains, as well as se impact of the port renovation project.

his screenshot even got Josh, who rarely spoke in the group, to chime in.

Well deserved.”

axter also commented, “Not surprising. Her business acumen has definitely allowed her to accumulate wealth quickly.”

axter then asked, “Is she disclosing these figures in preparation for going public?”

fedea, already in a bad mood, was completely shaken.

he wanted to call Calvin, hoping to hear something from him.

ust as she hesitated about calling, Calvin posted a message in the group

le said, “It’s just a wild list, do you really take it seriously?”
