Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 335

Chapter 335

On the other side of the lake was the Golden Hotel, where the Apex thank–you banquet was being held.

The car Eliza was waiting for still hadn’t arrived.

She stared absentmindedly at the night under the rain.

Her body was relaxed, and her thoughts were empty.

As the sirens blared again, her focus slowly shifted to the police car speeding by.

But she quickly looked away.

The police car vanished at the end of the street.

Calvin sat in the middle of the car. But as the car passed the Golden Hotel, he instinctively looked toward the hotel.

Even through the dark tinted glass, he could clearly make out a figure.

But the car was speeding, and he couldn’t get a good look.

That figure, like the rapidly retreating scenery, soon disappeared from his sight.

He didn’t immediately look away.

Even as the outside returned to silence, the restlessness inside him didn’t subside.

After a long while, he pulled his gaze away from the neon–lit street outside the car window, softly muttering,

“Too bad there’s no moon tonight.”

The weather didn’t cooperate, and the dim light made it hard for him to see her face clearly.

Three days later.

Nicolas received news from North City, saying “North City is shaking” and asking his fellow seniors if they had been affected.

Justin was the first to reply, “Some brothers were affected, but it’s not too bad. We can still manage.”

Maddox said, “The bigger the storm, the more valuable the fish,”

Xander was more direct, sending a stock price chart of Watts Group.

It was looking pretty red.

Nicolas felt a bit of balance inside, “It’s still good. Senior Sister is in Washington, unaffected.”

Eliza replied, “It’s not so absolute. Some of Apex’s partners have been affected, especially Horizon Capital, so Apex was indirectly impacted”

Nicolas replied, “That’s good, that’s good. I was worried you were secretly enjoying life behind my back.”

Eliza, “?”

Such a “good” senior brother is really a blessing, she thought.

Nicolas defended himself, “This is share the joy and face the challenges together.”

He then reassured everyone, “Don’t worry, it’s all minor stuff. We still have Master as our big support What’s there to be afraid of?”

Matt left the group chat.

Eliza snapped out of her thoughts, asking, “What’s the name of your distant cousin’s lover? Which company is he from? Sounds like someone with real power to be able to acquire Everest.”

On the other end, Belle didn’t respond immediately.

A few seconds later, she hung up the phone and sent Eliza a Facebook message.

‘My signal was bad in the mountains, the call got cut off. What did you ask me just now?”

Eliza,”

She decided to spare Belle the embarrassment and didn’t ask again.

Her thoughts drifted, and she suddenly remembered that rejected call.

What did Calvin want to say during that call?

Could it be about Everest?

liza checked the call logs, staring at the missed call, lost in thought.

Was it a call for help?

Or was there some other reason?

And why, after she rejected the call, didn’t he call back?

What was the truth, Eliza could not know.

She also didn’t plan to call Calvin back.

In the afternoon, Eliza had just finished a meeting and was passing by the secretary’s office when she overheard a few people gossiping.

“This fire was so severe. The entire villa area was completely destroyed. Such a pity.”

“I heard that rich families like theirs have many valuable collectibles. I wonder if any of thein were destroyed. If they were, that would be truly unfortunate.”

“A bunch of people with a salary under ten thousand worrying about Washington’s richest family. Ridiculous!”

“The Young family is really powerful. Even after all these years, they still remain the wealthiest family in Washington. Their strength is overwhelming!”

Eliza paused at the door.

The Young family?

Which Young family?

She walked into the secretary’s office and gently tapped the desk, asking the gossiping secretaries, “Where did the fire happen?”

Eliza usually had a good relationship with them, and even though she had caught them gossiping at work, they weren’t too nervous.

One of the secretaries told her, “It happened at the Young family’s house on Sapphire Road. It was pretty serious, the whole villa burned down!”

The Young family on Sapphire Rondl

Wasn’t that Grayson’s house?

diza’s heart sank, and she quickly pulled out her phone to call Grayson.

Sut the call wouldn’t go through,

This time, the cull connected, but the background noise indicated she was in a hospital.

Siza asked several times, but Nancy couldn’t hear her clearly and and there were too many people and it was noty,

Without hesitation, Eliza ordered Kayn in lake her to the hospital

When she finally saw Grayson, the weight in her chest finally lifted

Eliza, why are you here?” Nancy looked surprised to see her

Aiza was still catching her breath, “I heard about the fire at the Young family’s house. I couldn’t get through to you, and I was worried. Are you all alright? Juels Young, how are you?”

Bryson waved his hand, “I had an appointment for a regular check up today. I wasn’t home, so I was lucky to have avoided it”
