Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 202

Chapter 202

When Medea learned that Apex was about to take control of Kallis Medical, she was hosting a pre–engagement party.

Gideon, who had been lively earlier, now sat silently in a corner, drinking by himself.

Medea couldn’t understand why Mr. Kallis trusted Eliza so much.

And judging by Gideon’s attitude, it seemed like he had already accepted the decision.

“Aren’t you supposed to dislike Eliza? Now that she’s invested in Kallis Medical, you’ll be seeing her more often. Doesn’t that bother you? And from what you’re saying, it seems like she’ll make all the big decisions now, and you’ll have no real authority,” Medea said with a furrowed brow, genuinely concerned about

Gideon.

Gideon wanted to speak but hesitated.

In reality, these were all small matters.

He was holding a much bigger secret inside.

But he dared not speak of it, so he remained silent.

In the meantime, he kept looking towards Calvin, seemingly trying to gauge something from him.

Unfortunately, he saw nothing.

Calvin, even offering a fair opinion, said, “Eliza is capable. Uncle Kallis must have recognized this and entrusted Kallis Medical to her. You should listen to her

more in the future; it won’t hurt you.”

Calvin’s praise made Medea feel a little uneasy.

She instinctively looked at him, seemingly displeased that he praised another woman, especially Eliza.

Calvin casually peeled a tangerine from the fruit platter, his attitude relaxed and his expression unchanged.

It seemed like he was just an outsider, objectively offering his opinion without any other intention.

After peeling the tangerine, he handed it to Medea.

This

tangerine is really sweet. You should try it.”

His attitude made Medea feel at ease again.

As she ate the tangerine, a sweet feeling spread in her heart.

She shouldn’t doubt Calvin.

After all, he had given her a two hundred billion dollar listed company without any charge.

He had also borne all the pressure from the shareholders for her.

He even clashed with Grayson and insisted on being engaged to her,

Everything proved how important she was to Calvin

So what if Eliza snatched the port renovation project from her?

Her place in Calvin’s heart was something Eliza could never reach in her lifetime.

Gideon mumbled, “Calv, how can you praise another woman in front of Medea?”

edea smiled faintly. “Calv is just being objective. I’m not that petty. I’ve always trusted Calv.”

ideon had long become immune to this couple’s affection.

le sighed, “I’ve been busy with the engagement and didn’t pay attention to things on your side. I made a wrong judgment myself and got caught up in the iblic opinion, neglecting you. Otherwise, how could some people have picked up the pieces?”

ow could she be so ruthless, asking for so many shares like that?

edea thought it was rather ungrateful.

deon comforted her in return, “Everyone makes mistakes. Who could have predicted that a fireworks event would cause such a public outcry? If that eworks show had been held elsewhere, it would have been praised since it was done by a fireworks master hired with a big budget.”

e event was held in Chicago because of Cloudream’s background, so it made sense.

edea, being quite serious, said, “It was indeed my mistake. I’ll learn from it. Only by making mistakes can one grow and be more comprehensive in thinking d solving problems.”

ledea, you’re too humble.” Gideon genuinely admired Medea’s perspective.

deon had originally intended to praise her, but when he heard the name “Young Group,” his expression suddenly became strange.

edea didn’t notice, instead looking at the time and asking, “Why haven’t Baxter and Josh arrived yet?”

deon said he would call and check.

uch a painstaking effort.

Well, if they’re not coming, then we’ll just enjoy ourselves.” Meden pretended to be indifferent.

Lander sent a message saying he had just landed in Washington and asked if she had time to grab a meal.

Medea sent him her location and said, “You’re so timely. I’m hosting a pre–engagement gathering. There’s not much going on right now, so you can come and

help me out.”

Upon hearing that she needed him, Xander instinctively wanted to agree.

But then he thought that Calvin would definitely be there for this pre–engagement gathering.

fter thinking it over, he decided to politely decline.

le wished her a good time instead.

tedea simply replied, “Alright, then,” and didn’t pursue the conversation further.

ander felt a sense of loss.

e had come to Washington without any official business.

e just wanted to see Medea since her engagement was coming up.

hough he knew that such a meeting would be pointless, he still came.

fter a while, Xander called Hector. “Are you free? Let’s grab a drink.”

ector said he was free.

ot long after, Xander sent him the location.

hen Hector saw the name of the venue, a few thoughts flashed through his mind, and he tugged at his tie in discomfort.

e asked Xander, “Why did you choose this place?”

inder replied, “Just picked it randomly. What’s the matter?”

¡o, I’ll be there in a bit.”

ctually, it wasn’t a random choice. Xander deliberately picked this venue because Medea was hosting her pre–engagement gathering there.

e thought, if he couldn’t show his support by attending, at least being close to her would be a small consolation.

ector arrived soon. Xander even asked, “Don’t you have a girl you like? Why didn’t you bring her along?”
