It wasn’t an official list, but it was close enough.

However, the three of them decided to drop the topic and not continue discussing it.

The next morning, as soon as Eliza arrived at the office, Sadie delivered a small cake and flowers to her.

Eliza asked, “What are we celebrating?”

‘Celebrating you being crowned the richest woman in Washington!” Sadie replied.

‘It’s just a wild list,” Eliza said.

Even if it’s a wild list, it’s still a list! It’s worth celebrating! Come on, try the little cake I made myself!” Sadie insisted.

The cake was quite exquisite, clearly made with a lot of effort.

liza took a bite with a fork, her expression faltering.

The taste… was so familiar.

eeing her distracted expression, Sadie nervously asked, “What’s wrong? Is it not tasty?”

No, it’s actually pretty good, sweet but not overwhelming,” Eliza complimented.

Totally worth it!” Sadie grinned.

fter having the cake and receiving the flowers, Eliza’s mood stayed good throughout the morning.

n the afternoon, Byron arrived in Washington, and Eliza personally went to pick him up.

Is soon as Byron got in the car, he couldn’t wait to tell Eliza something.

Five minutes ago, I received news that Mr. Young is drafting the share transfer agreement for Everup. He’s planning to transfer it to Medea.”

yron emphasized, “It’s an unconditional transfer, essentially a gift.”

le was really giving away the company,

and not just any company, but Everest’s most profitable core business.

liza was surprised, yet not surprised.

After all, she had mentioned before that even if Calvin were to give Everest to Meden one day, she wouldn’t be shocked.

Though, giving away Everup was essentially the same as giving away Everest.

liza had no particular opinion on this.

But Byron did.

He almost forgot, but Byron had left Everup because of his disagreements with Medea

So throughout the drive, Byron couldn’t help but complain about it.

“Sometimes I really wonder if Mr. Young’s lost his mind! He used to be so calm and rational, but suddenly, he’s become this way. It’s really hard to accept!”

“He’s completely lost it! You don’t know, Director Wynn took over Everup, and immediately started putting her relatives into the company. I told Mr. Young about it, but he didn’t care. He just indulged her!”

Fine, I could turn a blind eye to that, since the people she put in weren’t in technical roles, and it didn’t affect the company much. But then one of her cousins tarted taking kickbacks on materials! He even accepted bribes and switched out the original suppliers!”

You know, the reason our products are successful in the market isn’t just because of cutting–edge technology, but also because of the best high–end materials. ure, the cost is high, but the product quality is solid. This person is destroying the future of the company!”

I confronted Director Wynn, and she just lightly scolded him–no formal reprimand! I got so angry, and when I argued with her, Mr. Young came and advised ne to let it go. I just couldn’t stand it anymore and quit!”

I couldn’t take it! A few of my friends who worked with me also left. Honestly, for a while I felt lost, like I’d lost my drive. I even thought about just lying down nd giving up. But I felt guilty about abandoning those old friends. My heart was really torn.”

Thankfully, Eliza, you came along.”

liza had invited Byron to dinner, intending to talk while eating.

he chose Mrs. Wade’s restaurant, a place she’d heard about during the press conference and thought she’d show some support.

ut when they arrived, they found out that a celebration banquet was being held there.

was a small gathering, so there were still seats, but no private rooms available.

liza asked if Byron minded, and if he did, they could go to another restaurant.

e said he didn’t mind.

ist as they sat down, a group of people walked in. They were likely there for the celebration.

liza didn’t pay much attention, focusing on ordering from the menu.

egina was greeting the other wives, but when she looked up, she spotted Eliza sitting in the most prominent spot in the dining area. Her brows furrowed nmediately.

he called the waiter over, gave a few instructions, and then led her group into a private room.

ist as Eliza finished ordering, a manager came over, apologizing for the confusion. “Sorry, this customer, the positions here have all been booked.”

Then I’ll go to another restaurant,” Eliza said, getting ready to leave with Byron.

ut as they reached the door, they ran into Mrs. Wade.

Irs. Wade was the first to spot Eliza. She smiled brightly, “Miss Grant, you’re here for a meal?”

Hello, Mrs. Wade,” Fliza greeted her and explained, “I was planning to support you, but there’s no room, so I’ll have to come again next time,”

It’s not even a weekend or holiday, how could there not be space?” Mrs. Wade asked, puzzled, and immediately called the manager to inquire.

fter a brief conversation, the manager’s face changed slightly.

ut when facing Eliza, Mrs. Wade remained warm and friendly. “The manager made a mistake. There is space. I’ll have them prepare a private room for you.

f it weren’t for Mrs. Wade, Eliza wouldn’t have come back.

Mrs. Wade personally took Eliza back to the restaurant and arranged a private room for her, then called ahead to ensure the meal was charged to her account

Eliza quickly declined, but Mrs. Wade insisted, holding her hand and saying.

This meal is my way of apologizing. The staff made a mistake, let me make it right”

Seeing that Eliza still seemed reluctant, Mrs. Wade added, “If you still feel bad, next time when you come, fil make you a VIP! You can come whenever you want, and there will always be space for you!”

‘You’re causing me trouble,” Eliza said with a smile.

“Of course, of course. You two chat, I won’t disturb you.”

After Eliza settled in the private room, Mrs. Wade immediately called Baxter, “Come to Moon Feast for dinner!”

Baxter refused, “No time!”

An hour earlier, Medea had invited him in the group, but he hadn’t responded.

Mrs. Wade laughed, “Are you sure you don’t want to come?”

I don’t want to join the crowd,” Baxter thought she was inviting him to Medea’s celebration.

Well, I was going to create an opportunity for you and Eliza to meet, but I guess I was overthinking it.”

axter’s hand froze, and he paused in mid–motion. “Are you saying Eliza is also eating at Moon Feast?”

I didn’t say. You don’t want to come, fine. Goodbye,” Mrs. Wade hung up decisively.

hat brat, trying to act all aloof!

istead of going straight to the private room, Mrs. Wade went to meet the manager and said, “You don’t need to come in tomorrow.”

hen she told the waiter, “When Mrs. Wynn comes to pay, charge her the full amount, no discounts!”

he paused, then added, “And cancel her VIP privileges!”
