Chapter 321

When his name was called, Calvin’s gaze finally shifted over. He slowly scanned the photos on the table.

faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, almost self–mocking. “You’ve always said my taste is bad, haven’t you?”

ndeed, it’s bad.” Grayson replied candidly, as he always did.

o, you pick this time. I’m leaving.”

a staircase. Every step I take is visible and grounded.”

Sutton was greatly impressed by her words and raised his glass to toast her.

As the atmosphere grew more lively, Sutton’s secretary approached him and whispered in his ear.

Eliza, sitting nearby, couldn’t help but overhear the conversation.

The secretary said, “Mr. Sutton, Ms. Wynn from Bosi Technology is outside, and she insists on seeing you.”

Sutton’s expression soured instantly. “Tell her I’m not available and send her away.”

I told her, but she refuses to leave. She insists on seeing you!” The secretary was visibly uncomfortable.

utton slammed his glass onto the table, his tone growing impatient. “Can’t you call security and have her thrown out? How can you not even handle such a imple thing?”

he secretary rushed out, worried about getting fired for not handling the situation properly.

Mr. Sutton, what’s the matter? You seem upset?” Someone who wasn’t in the loop asked.

utton waved his hand dismissively. “Just someone who affects my mood, nothing worth mentioning. Let’s continue drinking,”

hat was the rule of survival.

hough it was harsh, it was also very real.

ust as they were about to raise their glasses again, the door to the private room opened, and Medea appeared in the doorway.

utton’s face immediately turned cold, ready to reprimand the secretary for his incompetence.

ut just then, Calvin appeared behind Medea.

le stood with the light behind him, casting deep shadows on his high nose and sharp eyes, which only made him seem more enigmatic. His voice carried a hint of coldness, laced with amusement. “Mr. Sutton, weren’t you aware I was back in Washington? You didn’t think to invite me to your dinner?”

utton might not have cared about Medea, but he had to show respect to Calvin.

o, his face immediately softened, and he smiled, “Ah, I’m truly sorry. I didn’t know Mr. Young was back. My apologies for the oversight.”

is he spoke, he hurriedly arranged seating while continuing to apologize.

Calvin didn’t seem to mind, sitting beside Medea on the other side of Sutton.

veryone present was sharp enough to notice the reason Calvin brought Medea to this dinner.

Vith Calvin backing her up, Medea had taken on a new level of arrogance.

he didn’t even glance at Eliza, as though she was invisible.

Of course, Eliza didn’t care about her either.

In the other side, Sutton was engaging in polite conversation with Calvin.

Meanwhile, some people were whispering to each other.

Mr. Young must really be in love with Miss Wynn. Despite everything, he’s still supporting her. There’s some true loyalty in this.”

Someone beside them sneered. “True loyalty? More like he’s blinded by love!”

It seemed the two spoke too loudly, because Medea shot them a cold glance, and they immediately shut up.

Eliza wasn’t interested in their romantic drama; instead, she was trying to figure out why Calvin brought Medea to this dinner.

If she was right, Calvin was planning to rescue Bosi Technology and relaunch it

After all, they had already invested so much money in it. If they gave up now, that money would be wasted

With Medea’s current reputation, attracting new investors would be almost impossible.

So, Calvin had to step in personally.

Well, it was clear now, Calvin truly loved her.

For Medea, he was willing to do anything.

liza was inwardly mocking as someone else walked into the dinner.

t was Xander.

tander was from Watts Group, so Sutton naturally had to show respect.

After a bit of arranging. Xander sat next to Eliza.

liza didn’t acknowledge him.

before sitting down, Xander politely greeted her, “Senior Sister.”

hen, he sat down properly beside Eliza.

When Medea saw Xander, her heart skipped a beat.

When she saw he wasn’t paying attention to her, she felt slightly relieved,

he last time Xander had confronted her about her obsession with cleanliness at the financial summit, it had left Medea feeling uneasy.

lut now, Xander was entirely focused on Eliza.

his made Medea feel unsettled.

le used to look at her with that kind of gaze.

is she was lost in thought, Xander finally looked over at her.

Medea’s heart tightened.

he forced a faint smile at him, just like she had before.

ut this time, when Xander saw her smile, he narrowed his eyes and gave her a sharp, dangerous smile.

1edea immediately sensed something was wrong..

n the next moment, Xander bluntly broke the harmony of the dinner.

Miss Wynn, why haven’t you apologized to Miss Grant yet?”

Did you forget?”

Or were you never planning to apologize?”

Medea’s face turned pale.

she never expected Xander to strike at her so bluntly!

When Xander spoke, the entire room fell silent.

Chapter 321

Even Calvin, who had been talking with Sutton, paused and fixed his gaze on Xander.

His face was inscrutable, like the calm before a storm.
