Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 243

Chapter 243

Belle’s voice was even louder than Beatrice’s. “Since you’ve seen through it, let’s lay our cards on the table! No more pretending? Call her Mom now!

‘Better yet, kowtow! After all, you need the stepmother’s approval to marry into the family, don’t you?”

When it came to verbal sparring, Belle had never lost!

Her words instantly darkened the expressions of all three women across from them.

Regina, as if provoked, began vomiting even more violently.

Medea hurriedly attended to her.

Only Beatrice, unwilling to back down, argued with Belle, “How can you say such things? A young girl like you, not learning proper values, actually thinking about becoming someone’s stepmother! Mr. Young is so much older than her! How could she even consider it?”

Belle laughed instead of getting angry. “Listen to you! Sounds like you just don’t have the chance yourself. If you did, you’d probably be desperate to shove your own daughter onto his bed, wouldn’t you?”

spare her the false righteousness!

And besides, if you want to know how to manage such a big age gap, ask Miss Wynn! She should know all about it.” Belle looked mischievously toward Medea.

Medea’s hand, supporting Regina, involuntarily tightened.

Beatrice wanted to say more.

But Regina snapped sharply, “Enough! I don’t feel well. Help me back to the ward.”

Though Beatrice was reluctant, she didn’t dare say another word.

The three of them quickly left.

Belle tossed her hair back. “A bunch of amateurs!”

Seeing her smug little expression, Eliza could only smile helplessly. “Satisfied?”

Belle, “Satisfied!”

As long as you’re satisfied.”

¡elle asked her, “I thought you might blame me.”

liza smiled serenely. “Blame you for what? If I was afraid of people slinging mud at me, I wouldn’t have gotten close to Uncle Young in the first place.”

Exactly! If we have no morals, then morality can’t be used to guilt–trip us!”

elle’s mental state had been miles ahead since university days; no one could catch up.

laving been around her for so long, Eliza had indeed picked up a trick or two.

fter her moment of satisfaction, Belle finally noticed the examination results in Eliza’s hand. “How are your mom’s results?”

All the indicators are okay, but a few other results won’t be ready until tomorrow.”

Don’t worry, I’m sure everything’s fine!” Belle comforted her optimistically.

On the other side.

Chapter 243

Medea and the other two returned to their ward, all looking grim.

Beatrice was still fuming. “You shouldn’t have stopped me! I would have torn her mouth to pieces!”

Regina drank some water, catching her breath, her voice hoarse from the stomach tube. “What nonsense! What did I tell you? Don’t cause a scene. Grayson is still staying in this hospital!”

Beatrice looked sheepish after being scolded. “I was just standing up for Medea.”

“What kind of good person could be friends with Eliza? Arguing with her only lowers your own status!”

Beatrice fell silent.

“Alright, I’m hungry. Go buy me something to eat,” Regina instructed her.

Even though it wasn’t mealtime, Beatrice complied and went out to get food.

Over the years, she had grown accustomed to being ordered around by Regina and didn’t find it unusual.

As soon as Beatrice left, Regina’s face darkened.

‘Does Eliza know something?”

Medea clenched her fingers, her expression uneasy. “Probably not. If she did, she would have told Calv already. She wouldn’t keep it to herself.”

After all, she still had her sights set on Calvin. Why would she pass up such a good opportunity?

Regina thought the same and felt somewhat relieved.

But she still reminded Medea, “I told you, this isn’t abroad. Keep a low profile.”

I know.”

For a moment there, her heart had been pounding.

he had been thinking it over the whole way back and had only just slowly calmed down.

Belle and Eliza were eating at a restaurant near the hospital.

‘hinking of Medea’s guilty look earlier, Belle couldn’t help but laugh heartily. “Originally, I thought about sending the photos to Calvin to disgust him a bit. But low I don’t think it’s necessary. Let him keep eating that piece of shit every day without even realizing it.”

Ugh, we’re eating! How disgusting!” Eliza frowned in distaste.

elle found this even funnier. “Calvin eats it every day and doesn’t find it disgusting, but you feel sick just hearing about it?”

Stop talking!”

eeing Eliza about to throw her chopsticks, Belle quickly surrendered. “Okay, okay, I won’t say anymore. Anyway, it’s good for him to wear that green hat a little

liza felt the same.

Vancy didn’t understand the content of their discussion. Hearing both of them say this, she happily remarked, “You two are still so in sync.”

Calvin’s eyelashes flickered slightly nearby.

Only Eliza’s tone was very mild. “We’re just discussing matters objectively.”

fearing, this, Calvin’s eyebrows lifted almost inperceptibly.

Grayson reminded Eliza to prepare the necessary documents in advance and find reliable intermediary agencies like accounting firms and law firms.
