Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 326

Chapter 326

The man slightly paused, his gaze meeting hers, cold and unaffected.

The air seemed to freeze, turning into stagnant water, silent and still.

After a few seconds of staring at each other, Eliza averted her eyes and walked straight down the stairs, brushing past Calvin.

A few strands of restless wind brushed by.

Eliza left in the car.

Calvin stood for a moment, then reluctantly turned his gaze away.

Once Eliza got into the car, she called Grayson to ask about the car accident.

Grayson explained that he had an appointment that day, so he postponed his check–up and only sent the driver to pick up medicine, thus avoiding the accident.

Eliza breathed a sigh of relief.

It was truly fortunate amidst the misfortune.

They chatted for a few more minutes, mostly about the upcoming IPO.

Grayson asked, “Has the listing day been confirmed?”

Eliza replied, “Yes, it’s next Wednesday.”

Grayson calculated the date. “Isn’t that your birthday?”

Eliza was surprised that Grayson remembered her birthday.

“I specifically chose that day,” she replied honestly.

Grayson thought it was meaningful and asked, “What wish do you have this year?”

Eliza was momentarily speechless.

Birthday wishes…

For the past seven years, she had only wished for two things every year.

Wishing for her mother to live a long life.

Wishing that Calvin could have his deares fulfilled

She had repeated these wishes every year

This year, things were finally going to change

This year, she would wish for her own desires to be fulfilled.

She thought in herself.

Seven Years a Fuol, One Day a Queen.

Chapter 126

The day before the 120 bell ringing. Eliza set off for New York.

In the morning, she had a special interview with the financial channel

The reporter specifically asked about ASKHEART’s prediction of over twenty risks for Bosi Technology before its listing.

At the time, everyone thought it was just an unreliable forecast, likely motivated by personal grievances.

After all, Apez and Bos Technology had always been at odds.

But no one expected that ASKHEART’s prediction would come true.

The calculated risks were proven to be accurate, bringing ASKHEART unprecedented attention and popularity.

The market value estimate also soared, aiming for five hundred billion.

It became the most highly anticipated stock, with many investors waiting for Eliza to ring the bell so they could buy into ASKHEART.

Of course, the release of the second concept CG for Mythos Reborn also sparked a cultural storm in the industry.

Its influence reached beyond the gaming circle, extending into culture, tourism, technology, and even international exchanges.

The market value of Mythos Reborn also skyrocketed, surpassing one hundred billion.

The financial channel had worked hard for this interview.

Recently, their viewership had increased significantly, thanks to two major news stories.

One was about Eliza’s success.

The other was the ongoing coverage of Medea’s case, urging the relevant departments to release an investigation result soon.

Vivian had waited almost two hours outside Apex, witnessing Eliza’s success firsthand.

At that moment, she felt both envious and jealous,

But she had no choice but to swallow these emotions, humbly waiting for Eliza’s help.

The reality was cruel, and she didn’t even have the right to enter Apex, so she could only wait downstairs.

At the front gate, reporters were filming the Apex building

The giard sreen on the building was playing promotional videos for ASKHEART and Mythos Reborn.

That was me the path to success Meden bad dreamed of

But now, they could only took up to Eliza

After brushing the interview, Eliza came downstairs with her serietary and bodyguards, preparing to head to the airport.

Het as atur stepped outside, Vivian suddenly rushed out from the corner, throwing herself at Eliza’s feet.

With red eyes, the booked up at Thira, begging. Thira, idejose, spare my mother! I beg your

Chapter 326

I beg you, spare her!”

Vivian repeatedly kowtowed to Eliza.

Kayn instinctively stepped in front of Eliza to protect her, fearing Vivian might harm Eliza with any sudden movements.

Sadie was furious. “Stop trying to morally blackmail our CEO! Your mother broke the law and should face legal consequences”

If it weren’t for being at her wit’s end, Vivian wouldn’t have done something like this.

“Eliza, please, don’t pursue my mother’s case. She will be sentenced to death! Please, I beg you to go to the police station and sign a letter forgiveness!”

Vivian ignored Sadie’s scolding, continuing to beg Eliza with a broken tone.

Her forehead was bleeding, but she couldn’t feel the pain as she continued to kneel.

Eliza’s eyes briefly glanced at her, before she calmly instructed Sadie. “Call the police.”

When Eliza spoke, Vivian’s face turned pale with fear. “No, no, don’t call the police.”

Her family was down to just her. If she was arrested, everything would be over.

Kayn warned her sternly, “Leave now, or I’ll call the police.”

Terrified, Vivian immediately ran away.

Sadie frowned in disgust and muttered, “Don’t bother with this mad dog. It’s just dirtying our ears. Let’s go. Don’t let these people’s bad luck affect our mood.”

He cursed, “How did mistress Med not take care of her dog? Letting her run around everywhere!”

Just as Eliza got in the car, she received a call from the police informing her that there had been a new development in the case.

Beatrice, who had been silent all this time, suddenly revealed a new lead this morning, saying she wasn’t the mastermind, just an accomplice,

The mastermind was Regina.

Actually, after the incident, Eliza had already suspected that Regina was the one pulling the strings.

After all, there had been no personal vendetta between Beatrice and her to cause her to attempt to kill Eliza multiple times.

But what made Eliza curious was why Beatrice had suddenly started implicating Regina.

In the airport lounge,

Sadie was watching the financial channel’s interview on her tablet.

She marveled at how efficient the news team was, with the interview airing just an hour after the taping

But halfway through, the host suddenly interrupted with a breaking news story.

“We interrupt this broadcast with an important announcement. The Market Supervision Bureau has issued an administrative penalty notice. Medea, the head of Bosi Technology, is facing severe financial fraud charges and will be banned from the securities market for ten years.”

“Medea provided false financial reports during Bosi Technology’s shell company listing, concealing major information that should have been disclosed. Given the severity of the situation, she could face imprisonment for five to ten years.”

Chapter 326

The authorities have arrested Medea, and this station will continue to follow the case.”

The news report went on, listing her academic fraud, plagiarism, sex bribery of professors, and coercing the original wife to have an abortion.

The list went on for pages.

Finally, the broadcast showed footage of Medea’s arrest.

Her hair was messy, and she kept her head down, no longer the meticulously groomed, arrogant woman she once was.

Now, she looked like a low–quality painting washed away by rain–dirty and pitiful.
