Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 275

Chapter 275

Gideon was never one to keep secrets, and he was about to spill all of Eliza’s dirty little secrets.

However, just as he was about to speak, Calvin interrupted, his voice cold and emotionless. “It’s time to eat. We don’t have much time for lunch, and we can’t delay the afternoon exam.”

Everyone immediately stopped gossiping.

‘Right, cousin, you still have the exam in the afternoon. Don’t let these irrelevant people distract you.”

Vivian spoke dismissively, clearly looking down on Eliza.

‘But, even if cousin doesn’t take the exam seriously, she’ll still easily outperform some others, right?”

Last place?

he really dared to think like that!

Medea didn’t respond, merely saying lightly, “Eliza turned in her paper forty minutes early.”

Ier tone, though lacking in emotion, conveyed a sense of contempt.

‘ivian teased, “If the rule didn’t limit how early you can turn in your paper, I bet she would’ve been out even earlier.”

After all, just sitting there doing nothing isn’t a solution!”

fedea silently curled her lips.

he afternoon exam, the standardized subject, was much easier than the professional one. Both Eliza and Medea could handle it with ease.

lowever, this time, Eliza didn’t dare turn in her paper early, fearing she’d be caught by Matt again.

he answered the questions with calm composure, feeling no pressure whatsoever.

When she finished, she saw Xander lingering at the door.

le seemed to be waiting for someone.

le was probably waiting for Medea.

liza didn’t pay attention and immediately called Josh.

5 she walked past Zander, he tightened his fingers, clearly wanting to speak, but it felt like something was lodged in his throat, and no words came out.

y the time Eliza had walked further away, he still hadn’t said anything.

le sighed inwardly.

Well, whatever.

le’d just get an earful from his father when he went home.

ander had no intention of interacting with Eliza, but his father had called, urging him to get closer to her and learn from her business strategies…

le couldn’t understand why.

After all, he was an overseas student from a top business school–why should he learn from Eliza, a local undergrad who hadn’t even attended grad school?

n the meantime, Medea also came out.

Chapter 275

Vivian, waiting for her, saw Xander.

When she saw him looking out the window, she glanced in the same direction.

Her brows furrowed when she saw that he was looking at Eliza.

Why was Xander staring at Eliza?

efore she could think further, Xander quickly looked away and walked over to Medea.

‘ivian sighed in relief.

he had overthought it.

low could Xander be looking at Eliza?

le must’ve just glanced that way out of habit.

fter all, Vivian knew very well how much Xander admired Medea!

he recalled when Xander first confessed to Medea, he didn’t even know she had a boyfriend, and still made a big public declaration of his feelings.

andles, flowers, a guitar serenade…

he standard college love drama.

ut unfortunately, Medea had rejected him.

ivian had once asked why, and Medea had said it was too childish.

Tho would have thought that this seemingly insignificant poor international student was actually the heir to the Watts Group?

‘he had revealed his true background earlier, things might have turned out differently.

ut despite everything, he remained devoted.

ledea was a little surprised to see Xander. “When did you arrive?”

Since this morning,” Xander replied, then added, “How did the exam go?”

I went well.

ander knew her abilities, so he wasn’t worried.

ledea casually invited him to dinner.

le hesitated for a moment before declining.

le knew Medea would likely celebrate with Calvin.

I have something to do tonight, so I won’t join.”

Medea didn’t press, “Alright, we’ll make plans when you’re free.”

ust as she finished speaking, Calvin’s call came through.

Medea answered the phone with a warm, pleasant tone.

Calv, I’m done with the exam.”

Mm. sounds like it went well.”

‘Alright, 111 be out soon.”

She waved casually at Xander and left.

Cander then headed to find Matt.

After Medea had hung up, Vivian immediately commented, “Cousin, it’s obvious that Xander still likes you, watches you closely.”

Medea smiled faintly, uninterested.

s Xander arrived outside Matt’s office, he overheard a conversation about today’s self–designed exam.

This paper has a high level of value! The mention of black box investment techniques really caught my attention! It’s a paper worth studying!”

Yes, Professor Adams, I think highly of this student as well.”

latt casually asked, “What’s their name?”

Chapter 273

Josh had thought that Eliza had only invited him to dinner, which made him happy.

But when he arrived at the restaurant, he realized she had invited quite a few people.

Enzo and the others had just returned from their vacation and brought Eliza a lot of gifts.

Most of them were picked out by Thea, as Enzo wasn’t very good at picking gifts and relied on his younger sister to handle it for him.

“Eliza, it’s a shame you didn’t go! The island is so beautiful! The water is as pure as blue crystal. So many people hold their weddings there!”

You guys had fun, that’s what matters.”

After all, Eliza’s goal was to let everyone relax and enjoy themselves.

An islander told me that earlier this year, a CEO held his engagement ceremony there. The whole island was covered in flowers. It was extravagant! They even ised a helicopter to scatter petals around the island! It was a spectacular scene!”

hea, being of an age where she fantasized about such things, couldn’t stop talking.

adie interrupted her with some cold water, “You’re not mentioning that the CEO’s fiancée got kidnapped. Why only talk about the good stuff?”

Ugh, well, the CEO was too high–profile, and it drew the attention of some pirates who kidnapped his fiancée and demanded ransom! I heard they got eight

illion!”

liza hadn’t paid much attention before, but hearing the kidnapping story, she paid a bit more attention.

Was that in May?”

hea nodded, “Yes!”

liza looked at Sadie.

adie nodded.

o, the place they were going for their team–building trip was the same island where Calvin and Medea had their engagement?

What a coincidence.

hea’s gossip–loving spirit was in full swing. “The islander also said that the CEO’s fiancée was probably rap…”
