Chapter 264

Losi Technology’s celebration banquet ended as hastily as their roadshow had.

Medea forced a smile throughout the entire event.

nly when she finally managed to endure until the end did she remember that Gideon still hadn’t arrived, so she gave him a call.

ideon answered after a moment, stammering. “Sorry, Medea, something came up last minute on my end. I can’t make it.”

learing this, Medea was quite disappointed.

he knew full well how much she needed her friends to show up and support her at a time like this, yet not a single one appeared.

ut Medea simply remained silent for two seconds before replying calmly. “It’s fine. You handle your business.”

ideon wanted to say something more, but Medea had already hung up.

he took a deep breath, barely managing to adjust her facial expression.

ist as she was about to put her phone away, she saw someone post photos and videos from ASKHEARTS celebration banquet in an investment banking group

nat.

liza was surrounded and fawned over by everyone.

he chatted and laughed effortlessly, toasting with those pivotal figures in the capital circle, smiling and conversing cheerfully.

1 these photos, she saw many familiar faces.

here was Grayson, whose recognition she could never earn no matter how hard she tried.

ooking at Eliza, his eyes were full of affection for a junior.

here was Academician Matt, whose connection she had strived to establish.

When Eliza toasted him, he would encouragingly pat her shoulder and give her a thumbs–up.

and there was Josh, whom she had spent six years pursuing in vain.

le would shield Fliza from drinks when she socialized with others and followed her the entire time.

lis gaze when looking at her was filled entirely with tenderness.

here were also the big shots and CEOs of major enterprises, whose admiration for Eliza was completely undisguised.

the even saw Baxter and Mrs. Wade in the video,

Jaxter’s eyes followed Eliza constantly, filled with appreciation and a touch of infatuation.

she even saw Gideon–who had just told her on the phone that something came up and he couldn’t attend her banquet!

Everything… everyone…

Eliza had clearly become the central figure of the entire event.

This was the very scene Medea had been pursuing all these years.

But despite all her efforts, in the end, she remained merely a supporting role.

After Sadie dropped Eliza off at home, she repeatedly confirmed Eliza wasn’t drunk before feeling reassured enough to leave

Chapter 264

Actually, Eliza was slightly tipsy.

Perhaps it was because she hadn’t drunk for so long that her alcohol tolerance had waned.

Coupled with her genuine happiness tonight, she had drunk a few extra glasses. As the alcohol took effect, she felt somewhat unsteady.

the sat in the recliner on her balcony, looking at the rare, clear night sky, and suddenly felt a strong desire to share her joy with someone.

And the only person she could think of at that moment was Belle.

liza wanted to call Belle but was afraid of disturbing her work, so she first sent her a Facebook message.

sking her, what are you doing?

efore Belle replied, she received a message from an unexpected person.

: said:

ongratulations.

liza stared at the word or a long time.

1 the end, she just silently removed him from her contact list.

is congratulations had come too late; she no longer needed it.

elle saw Eliza’s message after finishing work and called her immediately.

y the time Eliza answered, she was already feeling somewhat drowsy, curled up softly in the recliner, her voice soft too.

weetie, just finished work?”

‘eah, late shoot today. It took quite a while.”

ren so, Belle hadn’t missed today’s drama.

I’d known it would be so exciting today, I would have thrown a tantrum to get leave from the crew! Don’t you think there’s something off about that mistress edea? How can she be so unlucky? To run into something like this?”

thought the previous fireworks incident was already bizarre enough, but I never expected something even stranger! There must be something peculiar about

‘m starting to feel a bit sorry for her!”

iza also felt Medea was somewhat unlucky. “When they decided on the backdoor listing back then, I actually thought Medea might pull off an overtaking ove this time.”

elle laughed. “Was that an overtaking move? More like overtaking the Criminal Law!

Why keep bringing her up on such a great day? You haven’t congratulated me yet”

liza wasn’t interested in Medea’s affairs.

ou reap what you sow.

he only believes that kindness begets kindness.

he believes in karma.

elle also spat symbolically a few times, afraid of catching Medea’s bad luck

Right, she can’t stand seeing you do well? Then let her watch you thrive!”

As for blessings, you have money, you have freedom now, you lack nothing. There’s nothing much I can bless you with so rii just wish for you to be able to

break men’s hearts.”

Eliza was amused by her, her voice full of ease. “Okay, I hope we can both break men’s hearts.”

Early the next morning, just as Eliza arrived at the company, police officers came to see her.

I was only after Eliza went to the police station that she learned there were new developments in the previous car accident case.

What utterly shocked her was that the car accident was actually related to Beatrice!

Beatrice refuses to say anything. Our chain of evidence isn’t very complete yet. We wanted to first understand your demands in this matter.”

Pursue it to the fullest extent of the law.”

hat was Eliza’s only answer.

he had no deep–seated grudge against Beatrice. Ultimately, Beatrice was just a scapegoat pushed forward.

Who was behind it was self–evident.

1st after Eliza left the police station, she ran into Regina, who had been waiting at the entrance for a long time.

he had come prepared, likely knowing Eliza would be here today.

Miss Grant, let’s talk,” Regina said first.

ler attitude still carried a hint of superiority.

liza ignored her and had no desire to waste time on her.

o she simply tossed out, “Talk to my lawyer.”

egina’s face instantly turned icy cold.

efore coming, she had guessed Eliza wouldn’t agree to negotiate, but she never expected Eliza to be so resolute.

lowever, she didn’t know this was only the beginning.

ive days later, the police informed Regina that Eliza’s lawyer had explicitly accused Beatrice of hiring someone to commit murder, not merely a simple traffic

cadent.

ivian happened to be at the Wynn residence. Upon hearing this news, she was so terrified she broke into loud sobs.

he immediately knelt down to Regina, begging her to save Beatrice.

legins went to find Eliza again.

Jut this time, she didn’t even get to see Elizo!

liza’s secretary very dearly conveyed Fliza’s stance.

This matter is not up for discussion!

Everything will proceed through legal channelst

she returned from outside, overwhelmed and stressed, and ran into an equally overwhelmed Medea

Medea had spent the entire week dealing with the share withdrawal issues at Bost Technology

“If the listing plan is hindered, winning against Eliza will be almost impossible!”

“What does Caly say? He should step in, right?”

“No.”

Medea denied it.

“He is also trying to find a solution.”

Only then did Regina feel slightly relieved. “With Calv here, he will help you resolve these troubles.”
