Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 259

Chapter 259

Medea and Xander answered Matt’s question almost simultaneously, rushing to reply.

“Yes.”

It’s Hall A.”

Upon hearing this, Matt’s brow furrowed tightly. After pondering for two seconds, he asked, “Are there other venues hosting listing roadshows here?”

Medea’s eyes paused for a moment.

Xander, however, was bewildered.

Could it be that Matt wasn’t here for Bosi Technology’s listing roadshow?

Both fell somewhat silent, seemingly unsure how to answer this question.

‘Forget it, I’ll make a call and ask.” Matt seemed to lack sufficient patience. He took out his phone and called Josh.

The reason he didn’t call Eliza was that he was afraid she might be busy at the moment.

After receiving the call, Josh quickly came to pick up Matt.

The distance between the two venues wasn’t far, so Josh arrived very quickly.

Medea hadn’t even managed to compose her expression before he was there.

Seeing the two, Josh still politely nodded as a greeting.

Then he asked Matt, “The venue was temporarily changed to Hall B. I forgot to inform you.”

Matt snorted. “Then why didn’t you set up a directional sign or something? What if other guests also go to the wrong place like I did?”

osh said, “We did. The people who sent the invitations also notified everyone.”

‘I didn’t see any outside just now.”

‘I’ll have someone go check later.”

Matt had already walked to the door when he remembered Xander was still there. He turned back and asked him, “Aren’t you coming?”

Xander was silent for a moment before saying, “I’m here to support a friend.”

Matt didn’t ask further.

just like that, the two left in front of Medea, Xander, and everyone in Hall A who was currently paying attention to Matt.

Medea’s expression was naturally unpleasant.

Of course, Xander wasn’t faring much better.

He watched their retreating figures, his gaze gradually turning cold and severe.

He thought Matt was invited by Josh to lend support to Eliza.

Did Josh even understand that someone like Eliza, who only had looks but no real talent or learning, would only fall harder even if forcibly propped up?

It was like he was bewitched.

Chapter 259

Did Eliza really have that much charm?

Perhaps some of the ladies noticed something was amiss and asked Regina for details.

Regina then came over to ask Medea. Although she deliberately lowered her voice, the smile still lingered on her face.

“What happened? Why did Academician Adams leave suddenly?”

Due to Xander’s presence beside her, Medea’s reply was very official. “He went to the wrong place.”

“I didn’t invite Academician Adams. I was afraid others might think I was riding on his reputation, especially since I haven’t passed his postgraduate entrance

exam yet.”

Regina nodded and said, “You did the right thing. Always rely on your own capabilities to speak for you.”

After saying that, Regina returned to the ladies‘ circle.

No wonder Medea was so outstanding; she had a mother with such sound principles.

Xander greatly admired this and comforted Medea, saying, “I highly agree with Senior’s approach. You have the ability and vision; one day you will gain everyone’s recognition.”

“As for those who rely on shortcuts, their path will only become narrower.”

Regina also explained the reason to the ladies in her circle.

But at the end, she deliberately mentioned that Medea was preparing to take Academician Adams’s postgraduate entrance exam.

The ladies were very impressed upon hearing this.

“I know about Academician Adams! His students are incredibly hard to get into! The requirements are very high! Only someone as outstanding as Miss Wynn would even qualify to take the exam! My good–for–nothing son couldn’t even dream of it!”

Other ladies also chimed in, even asking Regina for advice on how she managed to raise such an excellent and outstanding daughter.

Just as Regina was modestly saying that Medea had been well–behaved and smart since childhood, etc.,

one of the ladies suddenly exclaimed, “It’s Mr. Young! Mr. Young actually came!”

Regina was startled, then followed the line of sight and indeed saw Grayson.

Grayson’s appearance silenced everyone present.

Even Calvin left the guests and hurried over. “Dad, why are you here?”

Grayson’s sharp gaze swept across the venue before finally landing on Calvin’s face.

It was cold and distant, devoid of any warmth.

The two didn’t seem like father and son; instead, they resembled strangers.

Medea also followed, suppressing the excitement in her heart, and very politely called out, “Uncle Young.”

The ladies around Regina couldn’t contain their curiosity.

They asked Regina in hushed voices, “Is Mr. Young here to support Miss Wynn? Does that mean he has accepted Miss Wynn?”

“Does that even need saying? He’s here to show his support!”

“After all, he’s his only son. What parent doesn’t dote on their own child? In this world, no parent can ultimately win agatast their children.”

Regina also instinctively thought the same.

Chapter 259

With a casual tone, he simply said, “I came to the wrong place.”

Then he withdrew his gaze, turned around, and left, leaning on his cane.

Medea’s expression completely froze.

The venue fell silent again.

Only this time, the silence was clearly different from before.

Even someone as socially adept and skilled in interaction as Regina lost her ability to manage her expression and organize her words at this moment.

A lady whispered, “I thought Mr. Young had finally accepted Miss Wynn.”

Previously, everyone had only heard rumors. They never expected to have it confirmed with their own eyes today.

Everyone’s expressions showed slight ripples, each with their own thoughts.

Even Xander hadn’t expected it to be so… a second occurrence.

Matt going to the wrong place was one thing, but even Grayson went to the wrong place.

Could it be that Grayson was also here to support Eliza?

As he was wondering, he heard Calvin comforting Medea,

That’s just how he is, don’t take it to heart.”

Though Medea felt wronged inside, she still had to put on a front. “It’s fine. One day, I’ll earn Uncle Young’s recognition with my own abilities!”

Kander immediately realized that Grayson supported Eliza because he had reservations about Medea.

And not out of genuine appreciation for Eliza.

Perhaps Grayson’s dislike for Medea was due to Eliza’s meddling.

After all, he had long witnessed her deceitful nature.

ust as Medea was feeling somewhat unable to save face, Calvin proactively stepped onto the main podium and gave a speech ahead of schedule.

Although it was called a speech, everyone could see he was backing Medea up.

learly indicating his stance to everyone.

As long as Calvin was around, no one would dare look down on Medea.

ust as Eliza had said.

No matter how many times Medea stumbled, no matter how badly she fell, Calvin could always pull her back up.

This was the confidence he gave her.

As a result, those who hoped to see her fail immediately suppressed their expressions and continued to feign politeness.

Even though it was clearly understood that Calvin cared for her, loved her.

At this moment, Medea’s heart still skipped a beat because of his actions.
