Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205

When Medea and Calvin got married, and she entered Everest as the boss’s wife to take over the Young family group, there would be plenty of opportunities to teach Eliza a lesson and make her regret her actions today.

Beatrice Alec, sipping coffee, asked Medea, “I heard from your mom that there aren’t many relatives coming from your son–in–law’s side? What’s going on? Even though it’s just an engagement, it should still be a big deal.”

Beatrice’s words clearly struck a nerve with Medea.

She was bothered by it, but kept her composure on the surface, “Uncle Young is in poor health and it wasn’t suitable for him to travel a long distance, so we didn’t trouble him.”

“Has he done anything to show his regard? An engagement is still a big event, and as an elder, he should show some appreciation,” Beatrice asked curiously. “Given how wealthy the Young family is, they must be very generous, right?”

Medea pursed her lips, her expression calm and distant.

she didn’t know how to respond to this question.

Because up until now, Grayson hadn’t shown any gesture at all.

t was Regina who helped her out, “Calv has already been very generous. He gave Medea a listed company worth two hundred billion. That gesture is worth nore than any gift.”

This point, Beatrice admired and envied very much.

he thought Medea’s life was simply perfect.

n comparison, her own daughter, Vivian, was a bit disappointing.

eatrice, calculating in her mind, said to Medea and Regina, “When Medea is successful, don’t forget about my Vivian. Try to find her a wealthy family too.”

tegina became angry at this. “Medea originally intended to help her, but it’s Vivian who isn’t up to the task! Luckily, we nipped it in the bud, and it didn’t affect Medea. Let Vivian learn a lesson!”

eatrice knew she was at fault and didn’t dare to speak.

he three of them walked towards the lounge after buying breakfast.

tegina noticed Fliza registering and glanced at the flight details. Her eyes narrowed slightly.

he then took out her phone and sent a message.

I remember you have people in G City. Have someone teach Eliza a lesson. She’s too arrogant.”

liza landed in New York, and Mrs. Vega’s arranged driver was already waiting for them at the exit.

The car drove them straight to Mrs. Vega’s residence in G City

Sunrise Manor, one of the most prestigious luxury districts in City

t was Sadie’s first time visiting such a grand place, and it was just like the luxury estates described in New York dramas.

Elegant and extravagant.

As the butler led them into the estate, Eliza noticed someone familiar.

It was Xander.

Chapter 205

He had arrived before Eliza, intending to visit Mrs. Vega.

He had learned in advance that Eliza would be in G City to discuss the BroadTech merger project with Mrs. Vega, so he came earlier than her.

Eliza wasn’t surprised to see him but didn’t pay much attention.

She quickly diverted her gaze and followed the butler upstairs.

However, Xander stood there, his face cold, his eyes suddenly turning icy as he fixed his gaze on Eliza.

He had come early to visit Mrs. Vega, bringing what he believed was a very sincere business proposal for the merger.

Mrs. Vega had looked it over but ultimately rejected him.

This outcome was clearly unacceptable to Xander, and he couldn’t resist asking more questions.

‘Mrs. Vega, I’m honestly puzzled. In terms of education, I’m a graduate student in finance from WT Business School, while Eliza is just a normal university

raduate with no comparison.”

In terms of strength, Watts Group is far larger than Apex. I just don’t understand why you would choose Eliza, who is less capable than me.”

Mrs. Vega, who had been taking her medicine, paused when she heard Xander’s doubts. She looked up at him.

So, does Mr. Watts think education is more important than ability?”

Xander frowned. “That’s not what I meant.”

Mrs. Vega’s expression became a little cold. “Education may be a stepping stone, but ability is what sustains a person. A project isn’t just about money, it’s about good management. Clearly, Eliza is better at this than you.”

Mrs. Vega’s calm voice unapologetically tore through Xander’s arrogance.

And you like to view people with prejudice.”

Lander wanted to deny it

But Mrs. Vega didn’t give him a chance to speak. “You have a prejudice against Eliza, so no matter how much I praise her, you won’t acknowledge it. You’ll dways think I’m wrong and try to correct my opinion.”

Like last time, even when I showed you evidence, you still chose to believe your own assumptions rather than the facts in front of you.”

This time, Eliza had prepared well, and after Mrs. Vega reviewed the project, she was very satisfied.

Moreover, Byron’s talent was evident, so Mrs. Vega quickly finalized the details of the cooperation.

During the negotiations, Fliza noticed that Mrs. Vega kept rubbing her chest.

She paused and, concerned, asked, “Are you feeling unwell? Should we see a doctor?”

“No need, it’s an old problem,” Mrs. Vega waved her hand and signaled Byron to continue

Eliza grabbed a cushion and placed it behind Mrs. Vega’s back, hoping it would make her more comfortable.

They continued the discussion until the afternoon

The butler then brought a doctor, and Mrs. Vega had to stop working

“We’ll finish the rest tomorrow. You all should go rest,” Mrs Vega said, asking the butler to see them out

They got up to leave.

As they were leaving, Eliza noticed the doctor setting up medication on the table. She took a quick glance and saw a few medication names

Back at the hotel, Eliza searched for the medicines‘ effects.

The more she searched, the darker her expression became.

The next day, when she visited Mrs. Vega again, Eliza noticed that Mrs. Vega’s complexion was worse than the day before.

They had barely spoken for a while when Eliza stopped the conversation, saying they couldn’t discuss the details yet and would do so once she had all the preparations ready.

Mrs. Vega frowned. “This isn’t like you.”

Eliza explained that she had been working non–stop recently and hadn’t rested well, which affected her work progress.

Mrs. Vega looked at Eliza, seemingly understanding her intentions.

She then had the butler take Byron and Sadie to the restaurant for some dim sum, leaving Eliza to talk to her alone.

Did you notice that my health is deteriorating?” Mrs. Vega asked Eliza.

At this point, Eliza didn’t hide the truth, nodding and admitting that she had seen the medications the doctor brought the day before and had guessed from the

nedication’s effects.

Since you already know, I won’t hide it anymore. I have breast cancer, in the late stages, and not much time left. I want to finish the merger project in the imited time I have left, to settle one of my regrets.”

roadTech was Mrs. Vega’s dowry, which was why she cared so much.

he grabbed Eliza’s hand, eyes filled with longing. “Eliza, my time is running out. I hope you can understand.”

it that moment, Eliza felt a deep ache in her heart.
