Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 290

Chapter 290

Given that it was a private email, Eliza didn’t open it in front of everyone.

nstead, she exited the page and casually opened the email.

The content of the email was brief–only seven words.

liza furrowed her brows slightly, but quickly returned to her calm demeanor, closing the laptop without a hint of emotion.

eeing this, Baxter didn’t press further.

he focus had shifted entirely to Medea and the explosive news of her academic fraud. Everyone was captivated by this revelation.

cademician Adams spoke up, “This matter must be investigated thoroughly! I’ve already contacted the people at WT Business School, and I believe we’ll have a lear response soon.”

At this moment, Professor Tyler appeared somewhat embarrassed. “When I first saw the black–box investment paper, I was very impressed and had high praise or Medea. I even attended her dinner gathering. Looking back now, I realize I wasn’t thorough enough in my judgment. I should have self–reflected.”

le then apologized to Eliza.

liza didn’t hold a grudge. After all, Professor Tyler had no way of knowing.

rayson, seizing the opportunity, asked, “So, Medea got 255 because she plagiarized Eliza’s paper? She herself had no real ability?”

rofessor Tyler was full of shame. “That’s indeed the case. Our exams, especially the professional ones, are much more difficult than others. Medea had studied broad for seven years, so English wasn’t an issue for her. The professional paper, however, was entirely plagiarized from Eliza’s work, so…”

! it were based on true ability, Medea wouldn’t even have reached the threshold!

Ithough he didn’t say it outright, everyone present understood the implication.

ander’s expression was complicated.

ist then, josh spoke up and asked Academician Adams, “Master, are you happy about getting back this apprentice?”

cademician Adams smiled broadly, “Of course! Luckily, this little girl didn’t disappoint me. This paper is excellent!”

Only excellent?” Fliza raised an eyebrow.

Very excellent, is that better?” Academician Adams changed his tone, his face filled with a smile.

Then can I go for a check up with Dr Shelton this afternoon?” Hiza asked casually, “He said you’ve been putting it off for half a month

Academician Adams’s smile disappeared instantly. After a long pause, he muttered, “You really are annoying!TM

That familiar look of impatience sent a shock through Xander’s heart

So… Academician Adams was impatient with Eliza because she kept forcing him to see the doctor?

It wasn’t because he looked down on Eliza, as he had assumed!

And the term “getting back an apprentice” stirred up a huge storm in his mind

He had it all wrong!

He had been underestimating Eliza all this time, helittling her.

In the end, he was the clown!

Chapter 290

Once Callan pieced the truth together, he looked at Academician Adams in disbelief. “So, Eliza is the one who helped the Watts family out so much?”

Academician Adams answered honestly, “Yes.”

Callan, excited, walked over and shook Eliza’s hand. “General Grant, I’ve finally found you!”

Then, he turned to Xander with excitement. “Why are you just standing there? Go thank General Grant! Without her, there wouldn’t be a Watts family today!”

Xander walked over slowly, wanting to speak but finding the words stuck in his throat.

You kid, you’ve really given me a big surprise!” Callan, too excited to notice, didn’t realize just how stiff Xander’s expression was.

liza, from start to finish, never looked at Xander. She only exchanged pleasantries with Callan before leaving.

Callan belatedly realized that Xander hadn’t even spoken to Eliza.

What’s wrong with you? You found the person who helped the Watts family, but didn’t even say a word?” Callan scolded him.

ander had no idea how to explain to Callan.

The let Callan know how he had treated Eliza, he might be kicked out of the family tree the next day.

We really need to thank Eliza properly,” Callan continued, still thinking about it, considering how much he had thought about it over the past eight years.

ander hesitated for a long time before replying, “Yes, we should thank Eliza properly.”

axter followed Eliza out.

e had missed so much today and, now that he finally saw Eliza, he wanted to spend some more time with her. He asked where she was going and offered to rive her.

liza declined, “No need, my driver is already here. Thank you for the offer, Mr. Wade.”

he was swamped with work and didn’t have the time to let him drive her around.

the end, Baxter could only watch as she got into the car and left.

loments later, Mrs. Wade called to ask about his progress,

axter recounted the situation, only for his mother to scold him fiercely,

How could I have such a useless son? You missed such a great opportunity? With someone like you, you can’t even get in the door!

axter groaned, “Mom…”

What? Did I say anything wrong?”

axter, “…”

his overwhelming, forceful mother’s love…

in the other side, Gideon was leaving Washington University with Josh

long the way, Gideon was quieter than usual, which made Josh a little uncomfortable.

What’s wrong? Feeling down?” Josh could tell what he was thinking.

Gideon muttered, “I feel like such an idiot!”

osh chuckled, “Are you being that harsh on yourself?”

Jush, did you already know?” Gideon finally began to grasp the situation.

Chapter 290

Josh feigned ignorance, “Know what?”

“Know that Eliza is so capable.”

Josh admitted. “She’s always been excellent, it’s not like she just became great today.”

Hearing this, Gideon felt even more like an idiot.

Then why didn’t she show it when she was at Everest? Was she deliberately hiding her skills?” Gideon still couldn’t understand.

Josh tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

‘She wasn’t hiding her skills. She was just focused on Calvin and forgot to shine.”

Gideon had wanted to argue but, remembering how Eliza had always worked diligently by Calvin’s side for all these years, he couldn’t bring himself to speak.

After a long moment of frustration, he asked, “Then what about you, Josh? Why didn’t you act first back then?”

le remembered that Josh had known Eliza first.

At that moment, the red light ahead turned on, and Josh stopped the car at the zebra crossing. He sighed, “You think I didn’t act?”

What do you mean?”

The email. She’s only now seeing it.”

At the mention of it, Gideon suddenly recalled. He asked eagerly, “What did it say in the email?”

I’m waiting for you in Country M.]

t wasn’t a confession of love, but it was more than a mere statement.

lack then, it wasn’t the right time to say “I love you,” so Josh had expressed it more subtly.

but he knew Eliza would understand.

What he didn’t expect was that Eliza had never even opened that email.
