Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 333

Chapter 333

People are naturally gossipy, even those in high positions or those who have achieved success in business.

The past between Eliza and Calvin is not much of a secret in their circle.

Everyone present was speculating about the purpose of Calvin’s appearance here.

This included Baxter and Gideon.

Mrs. Wade was particularly anxious. She immediately approached Baxter, lowering her voice as she asked, “Why did Calvin come? Is he planning to rekindle hings with Eliza?”

Baxter’s eyes darkened, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on his glass. “I don’t think so.”

His tone was uncertain, and even he wasn’t sure.

t was easy to understand why Mrs. Wade thought this way. She wasn’t the only one.

Calvin and Medea had been very public about their relationship in the past, and everyone had seen it.

But now,

Medea was in trouble, unable to save herself.

t made sense for Calvin to cut ties with her and break off the engagement.

Now that Eliza had become so successful, there was always the possibility that Calvin might turn back to her.

After all, adults weigh the pros and cons.

Especially for someone like Calvin, a businessman who understood the rules well.

Mrs. Wade furrowed her brows, staring at Calvin, while Baxter couldn’t help but hold his breath, feeling a bit nervous.

Calvin came in with Sutton. As soon as he entered, he spotted Eliza.

ie didn’t slow down and went straight towards her,

The murmurs in the banquet hall suddenly stopped, and everyone’s gaze turned toward him.

Biza stood calinly, her smile gentle yet with a clear boundary,

wen when she saw Calvin, her expression didn’t change.

hough she hadn’t invited him, as a guest, Fliza still greeted him politely.

Thank you, Mr. Young, for attending the Apex banquet.”

I was polite, but not warm.

Calvin shook her hand, but only lightly, his demeanor courteous and respectful

Congratulations, Eliza, you got what you wanted.”

Thank you,” Eliza responded with a falist sinile.

Their interaction was brief.

After saying thank you, Eliza shifted her attention to Sutton, who had come to greet her as well.

“Thank you, Mr. Sutton, for attending the Apex banquer.”

Chapter 333

“Eliza, it’s my honor to attend the banquet.”

Even Sutton stayed a bit longer, chatting with Eliza.

But Calvin didn’t linger. As soon as they started chatting, he left.

Mrs. Wade breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like she had overthought it.

She didn’t forget to remind Baxter, “You’d better keep an eye on things.”

Baxter looked helpless. “What am I supposed to do?”

Mrs. Wade stomped her foot in frustration. “You’re really dragging your feet! Let me tell you, there are so many people in the wife’s circle eyeing Eliza. They can’t wait to marry her and make her their daughter–in–law. If that happens, you’ll be the one crying!”

Baxter was just as anxious, but Eliza wasn’t giving him any chance.

He was feeling frustrated as well

But, after being reminded by Mrs. Wade, Baxter decided to find an opportunity to go over and chat with Eliza, even if it was just to make his presence known.

However, before he could say much, Hector arrived.

Seeing Eliza and Hector talking, and Hector’s gaze directed at Eliza, Baxter’s smile slowly faded.

Hector didn’t hide his admiration or interest in Eliza.

Anyone could see his intentions.

Baxter subconsciously pressed his lips together, his frustration growing

From a distance, Enzo watched the scene, feeling an indescribable sense of loss.

Lately, he had been going through the motions, with no sense of joy despite his company’s successful listing.

That one mistake, that one night, had become an insurmountable gap for him.

He couldn’t even face himself, let alone Eliza.

Thea appeared beside him at some point, nudging him with her elbow. “Bro, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get Eliza to notice you!”

Thea still didn’t know what happened on the cruise ship, so she was urging Enzo to go after Eliza just like before.

I just took a walk and heard quite a few people asking about Eliza’s relationship status – they’re all trying to set her up. She’s super popular right new! We’ve got the first mover advantage here. Don’t drop the ball now and let someone else swoop in at the last minute.”

If it comes down to it, 111 go talk to her for you!

Enzo forced a smile, his eyes flickering “Don’t be reckless. This is a very important occasion for her. Don’t cause any trouble.”
