Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 276

Chapter 276

In the next room,

Vivian, filled with righteous indignation, stood up, wanting to storm over and tear those people’s words apart!

No manners!

Talking behind someone’s back!

Medea quickly stopped her.

Cousin! They’re talking about you!” Vivian was furious.

Medea’s eyes darkened with a hint of coldness. “They didn’t name names. If you rush over like this, you’re just playing into their hands.”

At Medea’s reminder, Vivian’s brain finally clicked into place.

Her face turned increasingly ugly.

Should we just let them gossip like that?”

he really couldn’t take it!

Medea, of course, felt the same way, but she was more rational.

Moreover, Calvin should be arriving soon, and she didn’t want to make a scene or draw attention to a past she didn’t want to revisit.

he didn’t want it to become common knowledge either.

o, she had to endure.

What’s the rush? How long can they be smug?”

Vivian paused, then nodded, “True!”

Ince Bosi Technology was listed, Medea would soar to new heights.

to matter how hard Eliza tried, she wouldn’t be able to catch up.

By then, Medea would have Grayson’s approval and marry into the Young family.

iza would be left in the dust.

At that point, it would be time to settle old scores with her!

What are you talking about?” Calvin asked as he entered the room.

Medea smiled lightly, “Just some girls‘ talk.”

Calvin didn’t ask further.

Vivian took a sip of tea and said, “Brother in law, what do you think the chances are of running Into someone you know in the same city?

“Very low.”

Vivian subtly implied, “It’s strange, then, how we keep running into Eliza everywhere. It’s hard not to think it’s on purpose.”

She was deliberately reminding Calvin that these “chance encounters” were orchestrated by Eliza herself.

And Eliza was so shameless!

She knew full well that Calvin was engaged to her cousin, and yet she was harboring these thoughts, without any sense of propriety!

When Calvin heard Vivian mention Eliza, his expression remained calm. “Let them talk. Don’t worry about it.”

With that simple phrase, he completely dismissed Eliza from his world.

Medea was pleased with this response, and a smile returned to her face.

he could tell Calvin didn’t want to talk about Eliza at all.

Vivian, understanding the cue, dropped the subject and asked Medea, “Cousin, do you think Baxter will come today?”

Medea replied, “I’m not sure.”

‘ivian eagerly responded. “It’s his mom’s restaurant, and it’s the anniversary celebration. He should come, right?”

he had deliberately chosen this restaurant for their gathering because she hoped to run into Baxter.

Who knew Eliza would be here too?

liza didn’t know Medea and the others were dining here.

he had been invited by Mrs. Wade to attend the restaurant’s anniversary celebration.

I was both an appointment and a show of support.

ot wanting to discuss others, Eliza quickly interrupted Thea’s conversation, handing her a cup of soy milk and steering the conversation elsewhere.

I see you’re good at photography. Maybe you should consider taking a photography class.”

hea, with her youthful nature, was easily distracted by the topic. “You really understand me, Eliza! I’ve thought about it, but my brother thinks it’s a waste of me and doesn’t support me!”

he threw herself around Eliza and Enzo.

Brother, Eliza supports me in learning photography. What do you say?”

Go ahead and learn,” Enzo said, giving in.

hea scoffed, “Brother, you’re so two faced. You ignored me for so long, but Eliza says one thing and you immediately agree. You’re going to be a henpecked usband!”

nzo’s face immediately turned red. “Eat your food!”

Brother, you’re so shy you’ll never get a girlfriend!”

hea was genuinely worried for her brother.

thad been so long, and there was still no progress!

When would she finally get to call someone “sister in law?”

Oh well, looks like she had to help push things along!

Otherwise, with her brother’s pace, they might not even make progress in three to five years.

Eliza, my brother is a little awkward, but he’s really a good person. Please consider him!”

Plus, you both co–own ASKHEART. He handles the tech, and you manage the business side, like a husband and wife business. It’s super stable!”

“Thea.” Enzo said, getting anxious.

“Adults‘ matters are not for kids to meddle with. Your current goal is to focus on your studies.”

Eliza probably feared Enzo would scold Thea, so she stepped in to defuse the situation.

‘Also, adult relationships aren’t as simple as you think.”

Thea, who always listened to Eliza, immediately nodded obediently. “Got it.”

liza’s private room was crowded, and the noise from the others spilled over to Medea’s side.

ncluding Thea’s discussion about her brother’s pursuit of Eliza.

Jpon hearing Eliza’s response, Medea sneered, exchanging a knowing glance with Vivian.

liza’s words were clearly ambiguous.

he was clearly teasing the men, keeping them interested!

What they didn’t know was that Thea had suffered from depression and was in a sensitive stage of adolescence.

he psychologist had advised that they not speak too harshly to her and sometimes indulge her, which is why Eliza’s words were so gentle.

ut this approach had been misunderstood by others as a flirtatious act.

ideon was the last to arrive, mainly delayed by some matters at the hospital.

ivian, seeing Gideon, was a little disappointed. “Why is it you?”

Who did you expect? Baxter? He’s not in Washington, he’s at the factory in another city,” Gideon said as he sat down.

ivian slumped her shoulders. Looks like she wouldn’t see Baxter today.

fter drinking a couple of sips of water, Gideon asked Medea with concern, “How’s the progress with Bosi Technology’s IPO?”

We’re just waiting for the final review from the CSRC.”

ideon was impressed. “That’s fast! If the final review passes, Bosi Technology will become the fastest IPO in Washington! Looks like I made the right

ivestment!”

alvin paused and asked Gideon, “Does your father know you invested in Bosi Technology?”

ideon shook his head. “I didn’t dare tell him! You know how conservative my dad is! I’m planning to surprise him! He’ll definitely look at me differently then!”

alvin didn’t respond.

lut Gideon was set on proving himself, determined to follow Medea’s lead and make a success of himself!

le wanted to prove that he, Gideon, wasn’t a hopeless case!

Medea had also shared the situation with Bosi Technology, and the outlook was bright!

Gideon’s confidence soared!

ust as they were halfway through dinner, Mr. Kallis’s phone call came in.

Gideon had barely picked up the phone when his father’s angry roar came through. “Get your ass to the hospital now!”

I’m having dinner with some friends.”

‘I don’t care where you are! Get here NOW!”

Gideon hastily left, rushing to the hospital.

Mr. Kallis had just calmed down when he saw Gideon and immediately blew up again. “You’re going to pull your money out of Bosi Technology now!”
