The expressions of the group instantly turned cold.

Eliza stayed a little longer at the hospital, confirming that Grayson had another residence and was well protected so

leave.

Grayson reassured her, “Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.”

Eliza furrowed her brows and glanced at the time on her phone,

It had already been five hours since the incident, and Calvin still hadn’t shown up or even called.

She was frustrated and dialed his number again,

But she froze when she heard the “off” tone,

Out of battery?

Or is he catching a flight?

She didn’t know the truth, so she sent Calvin a simple message about the fire,

As long as Calvin’s phone was on, he would surely see the message.

But she waited all evening, and there was still no reply.

After taking a shower, Eliza didn’t even bother to dry her hair before checking her phone again.

Still nothing.

No messages, no missed calls,

Eliza had no choice but to call Calvin again,

Still off!

Still off!

Could it be that he’s husy figuring out how to rescue Medea and her mother?

Eliza was frustrated, both for Grayson and herself.

But as an outsider, there was nothing she could do except feel angry for Grayson.

The next morning, just as Eliza arrived at the office, she received a call from Matt.

He gave her some shocking news.

Calvin has been arrested!

Eliza was holding a cup of water when she heard this and fumbled, causing the cup to crash to the ground and shatter into pieces.

She scrambled to clean it up, but the glass shards cut her finger, and red blood instantly oozed out.

On the other end of the line, Matt didn’t know about the noise on her side and continued speaking.

“He’s been in custody for several days now, undergoing investigation. It’s related to the person who was secretly placed under investigation. It seems like a very serious bribery case, and the impact is huge. He’s very likely to face the death penalty or a suspended sentence!”

Eliza stared blankly at her bleeding finger, her throat feeling like it was stuffed with cotton.

It was a muffled, suffocating feeling that she couldn’t describe.

“Although this kind of situation is extremely rare in judicial practice, it’s not unheard of. The main reason is that Calvin has given up on appealing, hasn’t even hired a lawyer, and has been very passive.

He hasn’t accepted any visitors. If I didn’t have a friend working on this case, the news would likely have been kept under wraps for a while

longer.”

Matt called to ask if Apex and Ubisoft had any connections to Calvin’s controlled companies, worried that she might be affected.

Apex and Ubisoft had just gone public, and their development was going smoothly, so there was a lot of attention on them.

If they were affected at this time, it could potentially stop their momentum.

Eliza paused for a moment before replying, “No.”

“There is no connection.”

Matt sighed in relief, “That’s good.”

Eliza agreed, It should be good.

After parting ways with Calvin, she had been holding onto a lot of emotions.

She hadn’t accepted any investments from the Young family, nor had there been any cross–shareholding or resource exchanges.

They had been in direct competition, with no overlap.

The only time they interacted was during the collaboration with Everup.

But when problems arose with Everup, Eliza quickly terminated the subsequent collaboration.

As a result, she and Calvin had become two parallel lines.

This outcome was exactly what she had wanted.

went to the hospital to visit Grayson instead.

Before going, she made sure to buy Grayson’s favorite lotus seed pastries.

Grayson didn’t expect Eliza to come see him today and was a bit surprised.

After all, he was only there for a routine two–month check–up.

And the lotus seed pastries required queuing to get.

Eliza didn’t bring up Calvin’s situation.

Grayson and Nancy didn’t either.

They had rarely mentioned Calvin in front of her, probably because they didn’t want to make her uncomfortable.

Eliza didn’t stay long, fearing Grayson might start to suspect something.

But her heart was growing heavier, just like the dark, oppressive clouds outside.

She stood at the hospital door for a while, trying to clear her thoughts.

But for some reason, she suddenly remembered something Calvin had said to her before.
