Chapter 278
Medea returned to the Wynn family in high spirits, only to find that Caesar had also come home.
She greeted him happily, casually inquiring about the progress of Bosi Technology’s review.
“I had dinner with your Uncle Wolf yesterday. He said the higher–ups are really paying attention to Bosi Technology.”
Caesar’s position was sensitive, so he only gave a brief response.
But Medea now had some certainty.
The attention from the higher–ups meant that the project had a promising outlook.
This, in turn, indicated that the success rate of Bosi Technology’s IPO was very high.
Today really was a day full of good news–double joy!
Eliza flew to G City for the weekend to visit Ophelia.
7ega must have known she was coming, as he had arranged accommodations and dinner for her through the butler.
However, he himself was not in G City and had gone abroad on a business trip.
The place the butler arranged for her to stay was at the Vega family estate.
liza couldn’t help but feel a wave of nostalgia as she walked around the estate, remembering Mrs. Vega.
Infortunately, everything related to Mrs. Vega had been erased from the estate, as though she had never existed.
lut she was still very much alive in everyone’s hearts.
liza returned to Washington on Sunday morning because she had to attend a charity auction in the evening, hosted by Mrs. Wade.
laxter had missed the restaurant’s anniversary celebration a few days ago because he had been waiting for this charity event.
his was a major event for the Wade family.
efore departing, Gideon tagged Medea in their group chat, asking what time she would arrive,
Medea replied after a while,
I have an important engagement and can’t make it.”
ideon was a little disappointed. “I thought we’d be able to hang out again.”
Medea responded, “Let’s meet in a couple of days. I have some good news to share.”
Gideon immediately asked, “What good news?”
You’ll know soon enough,” Medea teased.
No matter how much Gideon asked, she didn’t respond further.
At that moment, Medea was at a jewelry store picking out some accessories, with Vivian accompanying her.
When her phone kept ringing, Vivian asked, “Cousin, aren’t you going to check it?”
No need to worry about it,” Medea replied as she checked her reflection in the mirror and asked, “Does this diamond necklace look good?”

It’s beautiful!” Vivian gushed, “Cousin, you’re so pretty. You’d look good in anything.”
fedea immediately decided to purchase the necklace and asked the saleswoman to bring out the latest styles for her to choose from.
ivian watched enviously as Medea browsed.
less than two hours, Medea had bought seven or eight bags of items.
here were luxury clothes, designer bags, and several pieces of jewelry…
vian estimated that Medea had already spent at least a million.
his was her entire year’s allowance!
nd Medea showed no sign of stopping.
ousin, do you think your husband will say anything about you spending so much?”
edea smiled lightly. “This is nothing. Calv has always been generous with me. This amount doesn’t even matter to him.”
vian felt both jealous and envious.
hy couldn’t she find a man like Calvin?
y the way, cousin, I heard Baxter is back. I think he came to attend the charity auction hosted by Mrs. Wade. Why aren’t you going?”
edea lowered her gaze, and her expression became unreadable. “I need to prepare for the celebration dinner. I can’t make it.”
vian believed her, though she felt a bit disappointed.
e had hoped to take the opportunity to meet Baxter.
aly Medea knew the real reason she wasn’t going to the charity event.
was because she hadn’t received an invitation at all!
er excuse about being busy with work was just a cover–up for her disappointment.
make up for the imbalance she felt, Medea decided to buy even more things.
the end, she even bought the store’s prized possession; a 9,99 million diamond necklace!
vian was stunned.
his was a huge purchase!
he two of them had an incredibly successful shopping spree.
ivian got a lot of things, including a designer handbag for Regina.
s they were enjoying themselves, Gideon went wild in the group chat again.
Damn! Is Eliza out of her mind?”
sh, who was on a business trip abroad, was in a ume zone opposite to China’s. It was supposed to be early morning there, but he suddenly chimed in with a
uestion mark.
le usually stayed silent in the chat, but now he popped up at this moment.
Medea opened the group chat and saw the question mark. She smiled mockingly.
low he wasn’t even hiding it!

Seeing replies coming in, Gideon immediately started typing.
Just now! Eliza spent 50 million on a necklace at the auction! She’s really extravagant!”
osh asked, “What kind of necklace?”
Gideon posted a picture in the chat.
t was a top–tier imperial green jade necklace.
After looking at the picture, Josh commented, “It’s indeed nice, and it has great collection value.”
¡efore Gideon could stop, he continued.
Damn! She did it again! She bid on an antique sapphire necklace! The starting price was 150 million!”
150 million! Not 15 million! How can she afford it?”
It should also have great collection value,” Josh agreed.
le knew Eliza well–whenever she made a move, it was because she knew the item was worth it.
Medea felt a sting in her heart as she watched.
he spent the whole day shopping and only managed to buy about 10 million worth of things.
et Eliza casually spent several hundred million…
Medea thought for a moment, then privately messaged Gideon, asking him for the auction catalog.
fter receiving it, she flipped through it and found a set of ruby jewelry that looked very nice.
he took a screenshot and sent it to Calvin.
Calv, this set of jewelry is really pretty.”
his set was the most expensive item in the auction.
he knew that if she showed interest, Calvin would definitely buy it for her.
it that point, Eliza wouldn’t be able to compare!
ifter sending the message to Calvin, Medea put down her phone and went to take a bath.
When she finished and picked up her phone again, two hours had passed.
Sure enough, she saw that Gideon had posted in the group chat that Calvin had bought the ruby jewelry.
It was the most expensive item in the auction!
He spent 900 million!
Medea smiled smugly.
She knew that as long as she spoke up, Calvin would buy it for hert
