alvin was really quite considerate!

liza responded to him with feigned politeness, Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Young. I’ll be careful.”

nce Calvin left, Camille couldn’t help but clap for Eliza.

Did you see that? Don’t take men too seriously, and life will be easier.”

er words were blunt, but not without merit.

amille lit a mint cigarette, exhaling the smoke leisurely. “A life tip: always have a little brother,‘ so you can experience the joy of fresh, youthful energy ishing toward you.”

pstairs, in the private room.

alvin mentioned he had to step out for a moment.

s soon as he left, Vivian nudged Medea with her elbow, “Do you think your husband is preparing a surprise for you?”

edea took a sip of juice, feeling sweet and in a good mood because of it. “How would I know?”

Definitely!” Vivian declared. “I can’t wait! I’m going to record it on my phone later!”

edea immediately asked, “How’s my makeup? Is my hair messy?”

Don’t worry, you look stunning!”

‘hen Xander entered, both of them looked at him expectantly.

e was holding a large bouquet of lily–of–the–valley flowers, covering his face.

vian excitedly grabbed her phone, ready to take a picture.

it it was Xander, even Medea froze for a moment, her expression changing.

enior, this is for you,” Xander said, not noticing her change in mood, as he earnestly handed her the flowers,

y this point, Medea had calmed down. She took the flowers with a simple “Thank you.”

ander had expected her to be delighted, after all, the flowers were carefully chosen and held significant meaning for both of them.

ut after she accepted them, she casually set them aside.

‘rofessor Tyler, hello.” Medea’s attention had clearly shifted to Professor Tyler, and after greeting him, she actively shook his hand.

ince reading her thesis, Professor Tyler had become quite fond of her, praising her work to anyone who would listen.

eeing her in person now, his face couldn’t hide his admiration. “It’s finally nice to meet you in person. Recently, we’ve been discussing the black box vestment strategy you proposed. It’s truly brilliant!”

Thank you for the compliment, Professor Tyler.”

Inlike Medea’s modesty, Vivian wasn’t so reserved.

he eagerly asked, “From what you’re saying, does this mean my cousin has been accepted as a graduate student by Academician Adams?

Tofessor Tyler smiled and said, “Unless something unexpected happens, she should be ”

“Cousin! You’re about to have three good things happen at once!” Vivian exclaimed with excitement.

Medea motioned for her to keep it low. “It hasn’t been officially announced yet, so let’s wait for the formal announcement before we talk about it.”

Xander, curious, asked, “Three good things? What are the three?”

Vivian was about to speak.

But Medea stopped her again.

Xander, not stupid, quickly thought about it and guessed the general idea. His mood darkened slightly.

They were already engaged, and marriage was the next logical step.

But he hadn’t expected it to happen so quickly.

At this moment. Xander felt as dim as the lily–of–the–valley bouquet that Medea had casually set aside.

The conversation didn’t last long before the private room door opened again, and Gideon came in, pushing a drinks trolley.

It had two bottles of red wine on it, which he had brought as a gift for Medea.

Gideon, why are you spending money again? Calv already made arrangements.” Medea greeted him politely.

Calvin’s gift is his gesture, and this is mine, totally different,” Gideon replied.

After entering, Gideon noticed Calvin wasn’t there and asked, “Where is Calv? Why isn’t he here for such an important occasion?”

Medea explained, “He had to step out for a bit, but he’ll be back soon.”

Vivian laughed from the side, “Brother–in–law went to prepare a surprise for my sister.”

What surprise?” Gideon, like Vivian, was curious.

Would it still be a surprise if I told you now? You’ll find out later.”

deon was genuinely curious.

it that moment, Calvin returned, and everyone turned to look at him.

eeing their reactions, Calvin raised an eyebrow and asked, “What’s going on? Why is everyone looking at me?”

videon opened his mouth, but Vivian quickly pulled him back.

et him don’t ruin the surprise, or itll lose its effect.

Medea subtly changed the topic and asked, “Has Baxter arrived yet?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Baxter and Josh entered the room.

Baxter joked. “Did we arrive too late?”

‘No, no,” Vivian quickly moved the bag on the chair beside her. “Baxter, please it.”

But Baxter didn’t sit there. Instead, he took a seat next to Professor Tyler, quite far from Vivian.

Josh’s reaction was even more indifferent. He entered without even greeting Medea.

And as for the gift…

None

Chapter 282

Baxter, too, seemed like he was simply there to attend the gathering, not to congratulate her.

Although Medea felt somewhat disappointed, she didn’t show it and kept her composure.

Such is life–when you’re wealthy, you have distant relatives in the mountains; when you’re poor, no one cares in the busy market.

Once Bosi Technology goes public, once she successfully becomes Academician Adams’s graduate student, and once she marries Calvin…

All these issues would resolve themselves.

She had the patience to wait for that day!

As more guests arrived, Medea greeted each one.

hroughout the dinner, Professor Tyler continued to discuss the black–box investment strategy with her.

ideon didn’t understand it, but he could sense its importance.

lot long into the dinner, Josh excused himself and left several times, eventually not returning after the last departure.

fedea noticed, but didn’t bring it up.

:was Gideon who realized and called Josh.

nly then did he find out that Josh had left early for a personal matter.

Why did Josh leave like this?” Gideon was displeased. “He didn’t even say goodbye!”

ledea smiled mockingly, not bothered in the least. “It’s fine, it’s not a formal banquet anyway. Let him leave if he wants.”

he didn’t care about Josh today.

That mattered was Calvin’s reaction.

is behavior had been quite ordinary.

ae more this was the case, the more Medea felt he was planning something.

at as the dinner neared its end, there was still no sign of anything from Calvin.

vian, growing anxious, whispered into Medea’s ear, “What’s going on with brother in law? Why hasn’t anything happened yet? I’m dying of anxiety

edea signaled her to stay calm.

se dinner wasn’t over yet, anything could still happen.

at when the dinner did end, Calvin still remained as calm as ever.

edea was a bit distracted and didn’t even hear when Professor Tyler said his goodbyes.

was only when Xander reminded her that she realized she had to personally ser Professor Tyler out

efore leaving, Professor Tyler said to Medea. “The results will be available by 9 am on Monday you should get to school early. Academia Alam wants ha

e you.”

Got it.”

ideon finally understood, astonished. “Academician Adams wants to see you? Cousin, you’re amazing! I’ll go too! I want to pay my respects to the aradende

enius!”

Baxter, are you going?”
