Chapter 221
Following Regina’s suggestion, Medea opened the country’s largest media platform, and immediately saw the press conference she had mentioned on the phone.
The first sentence she heard upon clicking the link was Gabe’s public clarification.
The news from this morning is false. I am not planning to cooperate with Everup. Of course, Everup is excellent, with mature technology and market presence. t is an industry benchmark.”
his clarification was undoubtedly a slap in the face for Medea. Anyone with a bit of knowledge could see that the morning’s news was a business stunt.
he had dared to operate this way because she was confident that there was no better choice in the industry than Everup.
¡y releasing the news, it was as if she was offering Gabe an olive branch, believing he would never turn it down.
ut, to her surprise, only hours after the news broke, Gabe held a press conference to clarify that it was false.
Vasn’t this a slap in the face of Medea?
he didn’t even need to look at the online responses to know how she would be evaluated.
Medea’s face immediately darkened.
ander noticed it right away and anxiously asked, “Senior, what’s wrong?”
Medea didn’t know how to explain. Her expression turned cold in an instant, and she apologetically said, “We might have to reschedule this meal.”
It’s okay. If you have something urgent, go ahead,” Xander said, being considerate. “I’ll settle the bill.”
fter giving him a brief nod, Medea hurriedly left.
ander watched her figure, full of concern.
le wanted to ask her what happened but held back.
fedea and Regina arrived home almost at the same time.
ler dinner meeting was cut short, and Regina’s gathering also ended unpleasantly.
aesar was just about to have dinner when he saw the two women return early and asked in confusion, “Didn’t you say you weren’t coming home for dinner? lousekeeper only prepared dinner for me.”
egina threw her branded bag onto the sofa and said angrily, “I’m so full of anger, I can’t eat! You’re the only one who can eat! Something big has happened, and
ou don’t even care about Medea.”
What happened?” Caesar frowned and asked.
Redea briefly explained the situation, including the fact that General Manager Klein was no longer answering her calls.
tegina scolded him, “You can’t even help your own daughter!”
Caesar was helpless. “I just transferred to Washington. My feet aren’t even stable yet How can I help?
That was the truth.
But Regina was still furious. “Then when you went to Inspect Eliza’s port project for safety, why didn’t you pick up some issues to make things difficult for her
At this, Caesar became even more helpless. “I was already very picky. I didn’t overlook any small details it’s just that the higher ups changed their mand and decided not to investigate anymore.”

Regina grew even angrier. “Does she have someone on the inside?”
Caesar didn’t know.
Medea, however, didn’t think so. “It should just be a coincidence. It’s got nothing to do with Eliza. She’s not that capable.”
he had checked into Eliza.
Her background wasn’t great, and she was from a single–parent family. As for connections, there were none.
sut now wasn’t the time to dwell on this.
tegina was eager to help restore Medea’s image. “We need to come up with a way to reverse this terrible situation right now.”
f things continued like this, Medea’s unfortunate reputation would be confirmed.
At that point, forget about the top aristocratic families like the Young family. Even those with lesser status would avoid her!
¡esides, she and Calvin were only at the engagement stage, and their relationship could still fall apart at any time!
ast as she was worrying, Medea received a message.
Dear, I’m flying to Washington next week, invited to attend the graduation ceremony at your university. Let’s meet up then.]
fedea’s fingers tightened for a moment.
fter a pause, she spoke, “Mom, I’ve thought of a way to fix this.”
hree days before the Washington Commercial Annual Conference, Grayson’s secretary sent the guest list to Apex for Eliza to review.
When Eliza saw a familiar name on the list, she didn’t linger on it and quickly scrolled down to the bottom.
he secretary informed her, “This is the guest list. The list with partners will arrive a little later.”
t the same time, Calvin had already informed Medea that she was invited to the Annual Conference of the Business Association.
fedea was quite interested.
he looked over the guest list, and all the attendees were business tycoons.
his meant there would be endless resources and opportunities,
he was unsure how to bring this up with Calvin.
advin told her. “Let’s go to Taze Atelier this afternoon, and pick out a beautiful dress for you”
fedea’s moughts shifted, and her eyes instantly became soft and full of affection.
to matter what happened, no matter what the outside world was saying, this man always stood by her side
The pressure she had been feeling these days completely disappeared in the face of Calvin’s unwavering support
his kind of favoritism was something Fiza had worked hard for seven years and still couldn’t achieve
to Eliza had already lost.
She didn’t even need to consider her.
As Medea happily went to Luxe Atelier to pick her dress, Eliza received the second guest Bat
When she saw Medea’s name on the list, she wasn’t surprised at all.

Chapter 221
After confirming the details, she called Belle via video and asked for help picking out a dress.
Belle, hearing that Eliza would be attending an important conference, confidently promised, “I’ll make sure to pick out a dress that will wow the crowd!
It doesn’t have to be that exaggerated. After all, I’m attending on behalf of Uncle Yong. It’s not appropriate to stand out too much.”
Then let’s go for a low–key look.”
Belle had good taste, so Eliza had no concerns.
nstead, it was Belle who became concerned about something else.
At a conference like this… is it possible that we’ll run into dog Calv?”
You think so?” Eliza gave her a look that said “you figure it out.”
Jelle was getting annoyed. “Why hasn’t dog Calv gone bankrupt yet? Isn’t bitch Med supposed to be unlucky? How come she hasn’t ruined dog Calv’s business
ret?”
Maybe he’s just more resistent.”
eeing her relaxed tone, Belle couldn’t help but be happy for her.
It looks like you’ve really let go.”
The only thing that can trap me is poverty.”
Selle was completely impressed.
The two chatted for a bit more before ending the call.
ust as Belle was about to watch a show, she received a call.
eeing the caller, her well–shaped brows furrowed.
he initially didn’t want to answer, but since the other person kept calling, she reluctantly picked up, her voice tinged with impatience, “What is it?”
I’m busy! You’ve got so many women, can’t you just find one to go with you?”
Don’t worry, I won’t say anything.”
Hang up.”
The conversation ended with just a few words.
They never said anything more. That was their way of dealing with each other.
A business marriage, nothing more.
On the day of the conference, Medea dressed very ostentatiously and lovingly linked arms with calvin as they attended the Washington Commercial Anmital Conference.
Their simultaneous appearance was also a statement to the outside world that their relationship was unaffected.
She was still the woman Calvin pampered and held in Ids hands.
