he just never expected he would go this far for Medea.

liza still got out of the car.

alvin strode towards her, stopping about a meter away, frowning as he asked, “Why have you been drinking? Business dinner?”

hat tone… anyone who didn’t know better would think he was genuinely concerned about her.

liza had no patience to engage in an acting competition with him. She went straight to the point. “During the car accident before, I did owe you a favor. But hat’s one thing, and this is another. Regarding Beatrice’s matter, I won’t back down on this. I will pursue it to the fullest extent.”

erhaps fittingly, just as Eliza finished speaking, a gust of wind blew, lifting the loose strands of hair resting on her shoulders.

alvin’s gaze instantly shifted, locking onto the hair dancing in the wind.

or a moment, he actually forgot to answer her question.

liza grew impatient. Irritably smoothing down her unruly hair, she raised her voice slightly. “Did you hear what I said?”

nly then did Calvin withdraw his gaze, his eyelashes slightly lowered, speaking in a casual tone, “No room for negotiation?”

Yes, no room for negotiation.”

erhaps seeing her firm attitude, Calvin ultimately didn’t try to persuade her further, only saying, “Understood.”

laving said what needed to be said, Eliza didn’t linger. She turned and left very.

he couldn’t even be bothered to say goodbye.

alvin stood where he was, watching her walk away until she was completely out of sight

Only then did he slowly withdraw his gaze, his dark eyes even more dark, like a bottomless Jake

o you do know it’s embarrassed?”

llan wanted to say more, but Xander changed the subject. “When you met Master, did you manage to ask him about our senior sister’s situation?”

our master said he will reveal her identity soon, and asked me to be patient and wait a while longer.”

d that mean when the postgraduate exam results were announced?

Why must it be ‘soon“?” Xander seemed not to understand.

You must go!” Eliza didn’t even let him finish, interrupting him “One of us has to go. Otherwise, there’s no leader.”

nzo had no choice but to accept the arrangement.

ight after Eliza hung up, Belle called.

he answered while writing her thesis, completely multitasking.

Sweetie, guess who I ran into today!”

Chapter 269

Belle was never good at keeping people in suspense.

If Eliza didn’t press, she herself would be unable to hold back and spill everything like a leaky ladle.

I ran into jerk Calvin and mistress Med!”

These two are really high–profile! Washington wasn’t enough for them to show off, so they came all the way to North City to flaunt their love!”

You have no idea how disgusting they were at that banquet!”

The key point was, some people were even curious about their love story! I was thinking, how could anyone be curious about the details of their affair?!”

And that mistress Med, kept saying ‘our Calv‘ this and our Calv that! Anyone who didn’t know would think they were already married! And guess what. omeone actually asked! They said, since you two are so close, why aren’t you married yet?”

Guess what jerk Calvin said?”

liza continued typing “What did he say?”

Jerk Calvin said mistress Med is focusing on her career at this stage, wanting to achieve something before considering marriage. He also said he respects all her ecisions, playing the perfect, dutiful twenty four good man!”

fter Belle’s rapid–fire rant, she didn’t hear a response from Eliza, only the tap tap tapping of keyboard keys.

Sweetie, are you even listening?”

elle, “…”

Vas that the main point?!

ler focus wasn’t where Belle imagined it would be!

elle vaguely replied, “I was accompanying an investor to the banquet.”

liza frowned. “Didn’t I tell your agent you don’t need to attend any business dinners?”

It’s an investor who’s also a bit of a relative.”

Your family has wealthy relatives?”

…The new money kind. Their house got demolished, so they have a bit of cash.”

Only after the typing sounds resumed from the other end did Belle secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

he managed to brush it off.

This phone call didn’t affect Eliza. After it ended, she devoted herself into her thesis.

Early the next morning, her lawyer called, saying there was a new development in the case.

The injured driver of the white Changan car had recanted his statement. He now insisted that he acted alone and that Beatrice had nothing to do with it.

There was a high probability Beatrice would be released innocence!

These brief sentences caused Eliza’s expression to coldness.

No wonder Calvin hadn’t come to find her again. So he had found a new method!
