Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 235

Women’s little schemes. How could Eliza not understand them?

She simply thought that Medea’s acting was a bit too obvious.

After all, her best friend, Belle, was a candidate for the Best Actress award, and her acting skills were far more natural.

Eliza only glanced at Medea for a few seconds before shifting her focus.

she wasn’t interested in matters that had nothing to do with her.

When she returned to the office, she started to feel a bit dizzy and asked Sadie to prepare a cold remedy for her.

You were fine this morning, but now you’re sick after visiting Everup?” Sadie looked concerned.

The air conditioning there is like it’s free. They set it to the lowest temperature, and I ended up sitting under the vent for about 20 minutes. Fortunately, the neeting went smoothly, so it didn’t take too long. Otherwise, I might have fainted right there at Everup.”

liza wasn’t joking.

ust thinking about the cold wind made her shiver.

learing the mention of Everup, Sadie’s mood soured. “Did bitch Medea cause trouble again?”

liza laughed. “You’re picking up bad habits from Belle.”

he nickname “bitch Med” was coined by Belle. Sadie had spent enough time with Belle that she had also started calling her “bitch Med.”

You’re still laughing!” Sadie was irritated.

liza was in a good mood, unaffected by others. Neither Medea nor Calvin could disturb her. That’s why she was smiling.

mly Sadie was in a bad mood. “Did you see the news this morning? bitch Med is at it again, hyping up her high academic credentials. Even Everup’s stock price as rebounded. She really is like an indestructible cockroach!”

Do you think she can turn her life around just with a few news reports and her high academic persona?” Eliza was already jaded by it all.

adhe paused. You mean Calvin is behind this again?”

liza didn’t answer directly int just smiled and finished her cold remedy

I heard it’s a project related to high temperature superconductors. If this news is true, then Calvin has incredible foresight. This could be a strategic project that vill influence the future of the tech market,” he said.

Impressive.” Eliza replied noncommittally.

While she wasn’t overly complimentary, she had to admit that Calvin’s business acumen had always been spot on.

very step he took was perfectly aligned with the trends of the times.

he fact that he was launching this project under Medea’s name was simply to boost her status, to counteract the negative rumors about her and elevate her anding in the industry.

f course, the most important reason was to make Medea worthy of standing beside him and to gain approval from Grayson, which would pave the way for

eir marriage.

liza knew that Calvin had been planning this for a long time.

fter all, such a thing wasn’t achieved overnight. It required at least six months of due diligence and planning. In other words, ever since Medea returned to the

untry, Calvin had been working toward this moment. He had really put a lot of thought into marrying her.

he news was hotly discussed in all the financial groups. Some people were envious, while others were jealous.

Why is Medea’s life so good? We work our asses off just to get a project, and we end up exhausted and burned out, but she just gets a huge project handed to er! The gap between people is just too big.”

Who told you that you weren’t born with a silver spoon in your mouth? If you had a powerful father, a high education, and a man like Mr. Young in love with ou, you could do it too.”

Being born is a skill. We’d better stick to working hard like oxen.”

fter gossiping for a while, Eliza finally put her phone down and focused on her work.

efore leaving work, Nancy sent her a message saying that they had airfreighted a batch of seafood, and she was invited to come home for dinner.

he also made a point of saying that only she was invited, and not anyone else, clearly excluding Calvin.

liza didn’t reply right away. Instead, she called Belle to ask about her dinner plans.

elle said she had plans, so Fliza would have to handle dinner on her own.

urious, Eliza asked, “Do you have other friends in Washington? Are you sneaking around behind my back with some guy?”

He’s just a gay Don’t worry, he can’t steal my man.”

Tine then.”

After work. Biza headed directly to Young’s house.

On the way, she passed by Calvin jare, whirl was undergoing construction

There was a demolition crew working there

She froze for a moment.

The house had only been bought less than five years ago, and it had taken three years to renovate. The act Calvis had lived there was gender non peara

Ill pass. Nancy invited me home for dinner, and I’ve already agreed,” Eliza replied calmly, her tone a sharp contrast to Josh’s eager one.

3axter could sense her coolness. She had always intentionally kept her distance from him, drawing clear boundaries.

te felt a little defeated, but he knew this was something that couldn’t be rushed.

o he didn’t push her. Instead, he said. “Then please pass my regards to Uncle Yong.”

Sure.”

Oh, by the way, is Calvin staying at home recently?” Baxter suddenly asked, eager to gather some information.

le wanted to know if Calvin would be joining her for dinner.

I’m not sure. He probably isn’t.”

Where’s he living then? His house is being torn down, and I heard they’re building a new wedding house.”

liza repeated her earlier response, “I don’t know.”

axter could tell she wasn’t interested in chatting, so he politely ended the call.

5. Calvin was planning to rebuild his house, huh?

Was it because the decorations didn’t meet his standards? Or was it because it was all designed according to Eliza’s preferences?

well, the money certainly seemed well spent if that was the case.

ecause Eliza herself could understand the feeling of things being “out of place.”
