fter a hurried round of emergency treatment, Mr. Kallis slowly regained consciousness.

Dad, are you feeling better?” Gideon asked, his eyes red.

1. r. Kallis, too exhausted to scold him, turned his face away, clearly unwilling to see him.

inder was desperately trying to persuade Callan to invest in Bosi Technology.

illan had gone through the due diligence for Bosi Technology and thought the risk was a bit high.

he project is good, but based on the information disclosed, the technical details aren’t very clear,” Callan voiced his doubts.

Callan raised his hand to stop him. “This is my final limit.”

Xander, though reluctant, knew his father’s nature–once he made a decision, it was final. He had no choice but to accept.

After getting approval, Xander immediately called Medea to express his decision to invest in Bosi Technology.

Medea was naturally happy. “Junior, welcome to the team. We can finally work together side by side.”

When she said “side by side,” Xander’s heart skipped a beat.

News of Bosi Technology’s new investment quickly spread through the circle.

When Eliza saw that Watts Group was involved, she was quite surprised.

o, she took another look at Bosi Technology, but still felt its practical feasibility was low.

he mechanisms were unclear, the technical implementation was difficult, the production costs were high, the industrialization process was slow, and the upporting systems were incomplete…

hough these issues weren’t immediately obvious, she felt that with Calvin’s judgment, he couldn’t possibly overlook them.

erhaps he was in a rush to marry the one he liked and had become a little hasty.

liza could only come up with this explanation.

of course, she still couldn’t fully understand.

When Mr. Kallis called, his voice sounded like he had aged ten years overnight.

le asked about Gideon, and Eliza gave him an honest answer.

When Mr. Kallis learned that Gideon had sold all his shares, he fell silent on the other end of the line.

fter a long sigh, he said, “Alright, it’s all in fate’s hands now.”

liza could only try to comfort him, “What if this project turns out to be good? Don’t be too pessimistic.”

he believed that even if the project had its bottlenecks, with Calvin working on it, the results might still be good.

Let’s hope so,” Mr. Kallis replied weakly,

ust as Eliza finished the call with Mr. Kallis, another call came in–this time from Callan.

hey had exchanged contact information at the meeting at Matt’s house.

allan was now asking Eliza about the high–temperature superconductivity project.

liza responded in a very official manner, “I’ve looked into it, and it still has potential.”

Jnlike Xander, Callan, with his experience in the business world, was more perceptive.

When he heard Eliza’s response, something dicked in his mind.

‘Alright, just treat this as a practice run for him,” Callan said with some melancholy

After all, he was wealthy enough to use hundreds of billions in investment as a training exercise for his son.

Eliza, being an outsider, didn’t comment.

Callan then asked Eliza to look after Xander more.

Eliza didn’t respond.

And honestly, she didn’t think Xander would agree to it.

Callan grew even more melancholic.

Sadie brought Eliza some food, noticing her gloomy expression, and asked, “What happened?”

“It’s nothing, just a little reflection. Being a parent is really not easy.”

30th fathers were worried about their children’s future.

An entire “Father’s Worries Alliance.”

Of course, this was someone else’s issue. Eliza was just briefly reflecting.

Her attention was soon drawn to the soup Sadie had made for her.

This soup is really good today.”

adie’s face lit up. “Looks like my cooking skills are improving!”

Or maybe they just returned to the previous level,” Eliza teased.

adie laughed, “Eliza, you’re so harsh.”

ander then headed to Washington University.

y now, the results were almost out.

hese professors also knew that he was Matt’s disciple, so they weren’t hiding anything from him.

Didn’t Professor Adams tell you? The decision has already been made! It’s probably Medea!”

fter all, her topic was top–notch and aligned with Matt’s interests.

hat was why Matt had decided to redirect her topic!

ealizing the truth, Xander was genuinely happy for Medea!

e had known all along that his senior would make it!

fter all, she had always been the best!

fter bidding farewell to the professors, Xander couldn’t wait to find Medea to share the good news.

fedea had specifically arranged to meet him at a Western restaurant.
