Chapter 318
Vega saved you?” Sadie was surprised. “That’s a huge favor!”
he handed Eliza a bowl of soup. “No, wait, you got kidnapped by that crazy woman because of him. He saved you because he should, no debts owed!”
You can’t say it like that,” Eliza said, not thinking too much about it.
I should’ve followed you,” Sadie started to feel guilty.
You can’t blame yourself for something you couldn’t foresee.”
to one expected Kim to do something like this.
The truth was, she and Kim had only met once before.
lo one could predict whether tomorrow or an unexpected incident would come first.
eeing Sadle still sulking, Eliza couldn’t help but comfort her. “We came on this trip to relax. If we don’t enjoy it now, when will we?”
adie seemed a bit better and muttered, “I guess we’ll need another female bodyguard. Sometimes, a male bodyguard isn’t convenient.”
ince it was a cruise, Eliza couldn’t avoid swimming or other activities.
laving a male bodyguard around didn’t quite fit, which was how the unexpected happened.
liza saw she couldn’t persuade her any further, so she let it go.
But I heard that crazy woman got seriously hurt, four of her ribs are broken,” Sadie had heard this from others, but hadn’t seen it herself.
liza frowned, “How did she get hurt?”
efore being thrown into the sea, Kim had seemed fine.
adie shook her head. “No one knows. They say she was kicked.”
Vega?” Eliza was a bit surprised.
That’s hard to believe.”
I thought so too. Mr. Vega looks so gentle, and that crazy woman is his sister–in–law. Could he really have done something so cruel?”
hey could only guess based on their assumptions, but the truth was still unclear.
liza rested for another two days.
During this time, Ophelia would come to accompany her for a few hours every day.
she wouldn’t speak, just quietly staying by her side.
since the incident, Ophelia had become quieter than before.
Eliza couldn’t help but feel worried.
While she was handling some emails online, she noticed some recent industry movements.
The biggest news was the failure of Bosi Technology’s hackdoor listing.
It could only be said that Medea, who had been so arrogant before, was now facing a disaster.

Chapter 318
During the roadshow, she had hyped Bosi Technology to the sky.
She had even bragged at the financial summit, relying on Everest’s endorsement to say all kinds of things.
Thunder will always follow a storm, and a madman always meets disaster.
According to some industry friends, after returning to Washington, Medea had been hiding and avoiding the media and investors.
The debt collectors were almost queuing up in B City!
wo investors, who had been persuaded by her to invest through loans, were now burdened with huge debts.
One of them, unable to bear the pressure, committed suicide by jumping off a building.
The next day, someone was waiting at Regina’s door.
hey asked her why her daughter had deceived people into investing, causing lives to be ruined, while she herself hid away and didn’t solve the problem.
tegina responded, “Investment is risky. He couldn’t handle it mentally, so how can you blame my daughter?”
He just lost his life, and my daughter has to face these accusations. It’s not fair.”
liza was stunned when she saw this response.
low could someone be so selfish?
he worst part was, the very next day after Regina’s response, the wife of the investor who had committed suicide also jumped to her death.
his time, the reporter managed to corner Medea’s cousin, Vivian.
he shocked everyone with her statement:
Death clears all debts, it’s easier than being alive.”
ideed, it seemed like they all spoke in the same way in that family.
f course, such responses stirred up public anger.
ther investors were preparing a joint lawsuit, accusing Medea of financial fraud and demanding that the authorities investigate Bosi Technology.
elle sent Eliza a message: “Is jerk Calvin bankrupt now?”
Calvin continues using Everest to cover the deficit, he will indeed be bankrupt.
51x leverage, how could Medea have dared to do that?
ut so far, there had been no response from Calvin’s side.
o one knew if Calvin would step in.
cluding Eliza.
leanwhile, in Washington,
ledea had been hiding at home for five days. During these five days, she didn’t dare to step outside.
he curtains in her room were always drawn, and she didn’t dare to turn on the lights.
er world was as dark as the room itself.
egina had brought fish soup to her room.

Chapter 318
Medea had no appetite and couldn’t eat.
Regina tried to persuade her, but nothing worked.
“Has Caly not contacted you yet? Regina asked, putting the soup down.
She had asked this question almost every day, but the answer never changed.
“What is he busy with?” Regina asked in confusion. “Washington is on fire, and he’s still running abroad!”
‘He says he’s gathering funds.” Medea’s voice was dry. “After all, the hole is too big.”
Regina’s expression softened a little when she heard that. “He really is looking for a distant solution! He could just use Young Group’s funds in Washington, but nstead, he goes abroad to raise funds.”
Calv and Young Group are separated; they don’t share any interests, so there’s no reason to touch Young Group’s money.”
At this point, why bother caring about that? Young Group is his, what’s the difference between him taking it sooner or later?”
Regina didn’t understand.
When he started his business, he signed an agreement with Grayson.”
Regina narrowed her eyes. “So what? He’s Grayson’s only son. If Young Group doesn’t give him the money, who else should they give it to?”
Medea’s mind was in turmoil and she didn’t think about these things.
legina knew she was under a lot of pressure, so she didn’t press her further. Instead, she tried to comfort her,
Don’t worry, we’re not at the end of the road yet. We still have a way.”
What way?”
You’ll know soon. Regina didn’t elaborate.
After leaving Medea’s room, she called Beatrice and instructed her to do something for her.
The next morning, the driver took Grayson to the hospital for a follow–up check–up.
is the car neared the hospital, a black car suddenly swerved and crashed straight into Grayson’s vehicle.
The driver almost didn’t react in time, quickly swerving to the side, but couldn’t avoid the collision.
The car was severely dented.
The driver was injured and staggered out of the car.
Tearby pedestrians and the other driver’s team rushed to help.
The driver waved them off. There’s no one else in the car. I’m fine.”
in contrast, the black car was in much worse condition.
Even the driver had to be carried out.
After hearing there was no one in the car, Beatrice hurriedly called Regina.
She said the plan had failed!
Grayson wasn’t in the car!
Even the nanny who had been taking care of Grayson wasn’t in the car!
Chapter 318
Only the driver had sustained minor injuries!
He really is lucky!” Regina gritted her teeth.
he had originally planned to have Grayson die in an accident so that Calvin could inherit Young Group openly.
fedea’s problems would also be solved.
Vithout Grayson in the way, Calvin could marry Medea.
he root of the problem was Grayson.
o, solving him meant solving all the problems.
