Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 193

Intil Eliza’s figure disappeared, Gideon was still in a daze.

he left just like that?

Without even looking back?

his wasn’t the way he had imagined things going in his head.

Go.” Calvin pressed the button to stop the elevator doors from closing, calling Gideon.

nly then did Gideon jog over.

side the elevator, Gideon curiously asked Calvin,

Calv, why aren’t you going with Medea to the Cloudream launch event in Chicago?”

alvin’s expression was calm, his eyes unbothered. “She needs to learn how to handle things on her own.”

Now! Calv, you’re really something, your boyfriend power is MAX!” Gideon wore a look of exaggerated admiration.

e couldn’t help but sigh, “It really takes love like yours to get married!”

alvin, however, seemed to be more interested in something else and asked, “What’s Josh been up to lately?”

don’t know. After returning to the country, I haven’t seen him. Every time I ask him to hang out, he says he’s busy, but I don’t know what he’s doing.” Gideon as already annoyed by this.

e also vented about Baxter, saying, “Baxter, too, I can never find him.”

er’s organize a gathering tonight.” Calvin suddenly said,

ers call them to drink.”

ideon, who loved doing this, immediately agreed.

e added, “Not tonight, though, let’s do it in the afternoon! Medea’s event isn’t until around 4 PM, right? We can have a celebration for her from afar!”

Whatever works.” Calvin had no objections.

ideon was all in for it, emphasizing that everyone had to attend.

nyone who didn’t show up would have him bothering them every day.

fter visiting Byron, Eliza went directly back to the company.

he had a meeting in the morning, and in the afternoon, she had a video call with Erik about the progress of their work.

rik said he was in Chicago, just returned from a monkey village there, and had gained a lot of insights.

liza replied that it was good that he gained something

Erik paused as if he wanted to say something but didn’t.

Eliza proactively asked, “Did you encounter any problems?”

I met Lucas in Chicago.” Erik decided to be open with Eliza.

“I know, Cloudream officially launched today and is holding an offline event in Chicago,”

“Yes, the event is very grand.”

Eliza was aware of this.

Moreover, Calvin was always willing to spend money on Medea’s project.

Are you regretting it?” Eliza asked him.

After all, Everest was a big tree, and it was easier to get some shade under it.

rik immediately shook his head. “No, I want to say that Cloudream’s later storylines have issues, and they’re quite big problems.”

Actually, I’ve been following Cloudream for some time. I really wanted it to go further because there’s also some of my effort in it.”

But now… it’s a pity. Cloudream will most likely encounter problems.” Erik still felt somewhat disappointed.

ut, as Eliza said, delaying the inevitable wouldn’t change the final outcome.

le had already let go, and there was no turning back.

We’ll just do our part,” Eliza said.

efore ending the video call, Eliza told Erik that once he returned to Washington, they could start setting up his own studio.

rik’s mood lightened immediately. It was just around mealtime, so he invited his assistant to go out for a big celebration meal.

o sooner had they started enjoying the feast than Lucas’s call came in.

rik immediately knew why Lucas was calling, so he simply ignored the call.

ucas then sent him a message, full of smugness and self–praise.

rik, did you see? I did it!”

Aren’t you going to answer my call?”

ince we’ve been friends for so many years, I’ll give you one last chance–come back to SciGames, work for me. You know I’ve always liked your skills.”

acas was still typing something in the chat window.

rik directly blocked him and went back to enjoying his meal.

ucas’s message failed to send. His face darkened, and he sneered in disdain, “He doesn’t know what’s good for him! A lifetime of being poor and pitiful

leanwhile, Medea called him over, saying the event was about to begin.

ucas quickly trotted over, unconsciously bunching his back. “Director Wynn, you should announce the official start of the eventTM

ledea smiled, “You’re the founder, you should do it.”

ucas quickly waved his hand. “No, no, no, Cloudream’s success today is all thanks to Director Wynn. It should be you who starts it”

Alright then.” Medea accepted.

efore the host could announce the start of the event, Medea received a video call from Gideon

he answered and, upon seeing the group in the video, her mood instantly lifted.

ideon said, “Medea, we’re throwing a gathering in Washington, specifically to celebrate for you! Consider it our way of making up for not being there in

erson.”

“Tell everyone thanks for me.”

“No need for thanks, it’s all Calv’s idea.” Gideon deliberately pointed the camera at Calvin. “Right, Calv?”

Calvin lifted his glass slightly as a gesture of congratulations.

Medea’s gaze softened. “Got it.”

Gideon, ever the troublemaker, chimed in, “Hey, is it because we’re here that Calv is too shy to say anything mushy? Fine, fine, we’ll leave those sweet words fo you two to share privately. We won’t listen.”

Medea curled her lips and smiled. “Alright, the event’s about to start, I’ll talk to you later.”

Good luck!”

Before hanging up, Gideon cheerfully shouted, “Medea, you’re our pride!”

Medea’s smile stayed on her lips as she walked to the stage.

he host was already inviting her to come up.

he paused for a moment and then sent Calvin a message.

Calv, I’ll make you proud.]

Calvin’s choice was so firm, she couldn’t let him down!

efore putting down her phone, she saw a congratulatory message from Xander.

Medea didn’t reply.

Confidently, she walked up to the stage, in the spotlight, and pressed the button to start the event.

Countless fireworks erupted in Chicago, and Medea looked at the colorful fireworks soaring into the sky, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

tegina called to congratulate her on her success.

But at the same time, she reminded her not to get too complacent and forget her true purpose.

Medea replied, “I haven’t forgotten. After I finish with work and head back, I’ll tell Josh about it. With Cloudream backing me, Uncle Young shouldn’t ignore me

mymore.”

Regina also believed this.

The mother and daughter duo still thought that Grayson didn’t accept Medea because she hadn’t achieved much after returning to China.

So this time, Medea was determined to win!

She wanted to make Grayson notice her!

In the past, she had been disheartened, thinking that as long as Calvin accepted her, it would be enough.

Even if Grayson didn’t accept her, it didn’t matter. She believed that once everything settled, Grayson would eventually compromise.

But this time, when Regina sent out invitations to all the other wives, they appeared happy for her.

Privately, however, they were gossiping about how Medea might never gain Grayson’s approval.

They even said that if Grayson didn’t accept her, Medea’s status would be as awkward as being a mistress.
