Chapter 218

When Medea heard Regina’s words, she felt somewhat comforted.

I believe you can regain all the honors!”

Despite her reassurance, the next day, when Medea went to meet with a potential partner about a new project, she faced a setback.

This cooperation had been half–discussed a month ago, and they had agreed to meet today to finalize things.

However, upon her arrival, the secretary informed her that the person in charge was out on a business trip.

The excuse was so flimsy it was insulting.

his was the first time since her return that she had been turned away.

but she maintained a composed demeanor, reminding the secretary to contact her immediately when the manager returned.

he secretary agreed.

As soon as she left, the secretary made a phone call to the manager’s office.

Manager Klein, just as you instructed, I’ve sent Director Wynn away.”

he receptionist came over and commented to the secretary, “Don’t you think.it’s funny? Despite everything that’s happened, Director Wynn still came in with uch a calm attitude to talk about cooperation. Does she not know what people are saying about her outside?”

he secretary agreed. “Who’s to say? Manager Klein’s also probably being avoided because of the bad luck, but no one dares offend Calvin, so they just make up ame excuses to keep their distance. Who knows how long they’ll keep dodging her.”

She’s got such a high start, a great education, and Calvin backing her up. How did she mess things up so badly? I’m beginning to doubt her qualifications.”

Alright, no more gossip. I’ve got work to do.”

Putside the building, Medea overheard the entire conversation.

ler face slowly darkened with each passing word.

Medea’s mood soured even more after hearing the rumors.

Who started this?”

“These kinds of rumors are never good, you know The upper class is superstitions laut this bind of thing

“Alright, alright,” Gideon responded absentmindedly, then flopped onto the sofa and started playing with his phone.

When he saw Medea’s social media post, he clicked on it and found that she and Calvin were playing golf.

He immediately sent a message in their group chat, tagging both Medea and Calvin.

“Why didn’t you invite me to play? I’m stuck in the hospital, going crazy.”

Medea replied, “You’re still in time to join us. We’ve just started.”

‘Alright!”

Gideon quickly put down his phone and told Mr. Kallis,

‘Dad, I’m going to join Medea and Calvin for a round of golf. I’ll be back later to keep you company.”

As he reached the door, Mr. Kallis called out to him.

‘Don’t go!”

Why not?”

I said don’t go! Didn’t I tell you to keep your distance from Medea? Are you deaf?”

Mr. Kallis’s anger triggered a fit of coughing, so intense that he could hardly breathe.

Gideon rushed over to help him calm down. “Medea is still my friend. It’s just part of socializing.”

You don’t get it, do you? How much have you lost on the projects you’ve invested in with her? And you still want to socialize with her? If you keep this up. ou’ll end up with nothing!”

Dad…”

I’m not letting you go! If you do, I’ll sever ties with you!”

Inable to argue further, Gideon finally gave in and sent Medea a message, saying he couldn’t make it.

Medea didn’t mind and said they could reschedule for another time.

After Eliza finished accompanying Matt for acupuncture, she headed back to the company to discuss the SciGames acquisition with Erik.

After everything that had happened, Lucas was completely demoralized, and he sank into a state of despair.

When he saw Frik, he instinctively turned his face away.

It was as though he couldn’t face him.

Seeing SciGames in its current state, Erik was also quite disheartened.

But they didn’t have time to dwell on it. Fliza was focused on the business and started negotiating the acquisition with Lucas

The price she offered was fair, and Lucas barely hesitated before signing the agreement

When he handed over the keys, his eyes were red.

The school had called to say his son had been injured during a sports class, and Lucas rushed to arrange a ride to the school

“I’ll take you. It’ll be faster than calling a cab,” Erik offered.

Lucas hesitated for a moment but silently nodded.

After Eliza finished the acquisition, she returned to her office, where her phone rang
