Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 348

Chapter 348

This question lingered in Eliza’s mind for a while before she finally answered, “No, I don’t think so.”

First of all, they were completely disconnected now.

She had no standing, nor was there any need for her to visit him.

Secondly, even if she did go, it wouldn’t change anything.

If he truly committed a crime, he should face the consequences according to the law.

If he didn’t, the law would clear his name.

Kander sighed in relief when he heard her response. “It’s right not to visit. The case has caused such a large impact, with so many people involved. Anyone visiting, aside from family, will be under supervision, and it’s a hassle.”

Eliza knew things were serious, but she hadn’t expected it to be this serious.

Kander continued, “Fortunately, you cut ties with Everest early and distanced yourself from Calvin. If you had stayed for another six months, you’d probably be subjected to a lengthy and strict investigation as well. I heard that the entire finance department at Everest is still cooperating with the investigation.”

After Xander finished, the car fell into a long period of silence.

Eliza kept her eyes on the scenery outside the window, lost in thought.

Baxter and Gideon had applied for a visit to Calvin a month in advance.

After going through several rounds of approval, they were finally granted the opportunity to see him.

This was the first time they had seen Calvin in eight months.

He had lost some weight, and his hair had been shaved into a buzz cut.

Normally, he should have seemed disheveled and depressed, but he looked surprisingly calm.

Even the intense look in his eyes that used to be there had disappeared.

There was only calmness.

Gideon’s heart skipped a beat, and he wondered to himself if Calvin had gone a little mad after being in here, which was why he was acting this way.

He immediately showed a compassionate expression, about to say something comforting.

But before he could speak, Calvin spoke first, “What’s the point of coming all the way here to see me? I’m doing fine here. Don’t worry about me.”

Gideon almost cried when he heard this.

Who could be locked up and still think everything was fine?

Calvin had clearly suffered a deep emotional blow.

Since childhood, he had been the pride of everyone, He had never experienced such a devastating blow.

Seeing that Gideon’s eyes were reddening, Baxter subtly signaled him to calm down. Then he spoke to Calvin in a more composed manner.

Baxter, being more perceptive than Gideon, knew what Calvin wanted to talk about, so he brought up related topics.

For instance, he talked about Grayson.

Chapter 348

Gideon immediately mentioned his visit to Grayson for New Year’s, casually bringing up the incident when he bumped into Eliza.

After saying this, Gideon fell silent for a moment.

Calvin lowered his gaze, his eyes unfocused, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

Gideon realized he had said something wrong and regretted it internally. After a moment of self–reproach, he awkwardly changed the subject.

‘A while ago, a friend of mine told me something.” Gideon hesitated.

He had been debating whether to tell Calvin about this, but after thinking it through, he decided to share.

After all, everyone knew how much Calvin had pampered Medea in the past.

So, Gideon told him about Medea’s mental breakdown.

He added, “I wanted to visit her, but my request for visitation has been denied, so I don’t know her current condition.”

Gideon thought Calvin would be interested, worried, and anxious.

However…

Calvin remained calm, even indifferent.

t was as though he had heard about a stranger and had no care for what had happened to her.

his made Gideon start to doubt his perception.

t was Baxter who picked up on the subtle signs and quickly changed the subject. He mentioned that it was fortunate that Calvin had chosen to start his own

usiness instead of relying on Young Group.

Otherwise, Young Group would have been pulled into the mess as well.

Of course, the stock price of Young Group was affected by this scandal, but thanks to Grayson’s leadership, the situation was quickly stabilized and the impact

ninimized.

laxter paused here.

le unconsciously thought of Eliza.

le was relieved that Eliza had distanced herself from Calvin over a year ago. Otherwise, she might have been implicated too.

ndeed, blessings and disasters are intertwined,

n early July, Mythos Reborn, a game developed under Ubisoft Entertainment, officially launched.

is a domestic 3A game, its pre–launch influence abroad had been rather modest.

n fact, many foreign media outlets had dismissed it as just another self–indulgent game, expected to disappear just like other local games, such as Cloudream, which had been widely ridiculed a year ago and almost closed the door for domestic games!

fter all, Western countries had dominated the gaming market for years.

ut no one expected Mythos Reborn to become a huge success.

Jpon its official release, it quickly topped the sales charts on multiple gaming platforms.

Several related keywords even trended on Ins.

According to platform data, Mythos Reborn not only dominated the domestic market, but was also consistently ranked as the top–selling product globally.

Among them, the authoritative review agency IGN even gave Mythos Reborn a perfect score.

Its sales exceeded 50 billion, creating a cultural export miracle, becoming a benchmark in the field of cultural and technological integration, and sparking a global interest in Chinese culture.

The stocks of related companies surged as well, confirming the global market’s attraction to Chinese culture and breaking the long–standing monopoly of Western countries and Japan on the 3A game market.

Due to Mythos Reborn’s massive success, Eliza had to delay her study abroad plans and go to North City to receive the copyright gold award!

This was a highly authoritative national award, the highest honor in the field of national copyright!

The chairman personally presented the award and called Mythos Reborn the hope of domestic 3A games.

The award ceremony was broadcast live on authoritative media outlets.

Many of her friends and family witnessed this glorious moment of Eliza.

Meanwhile, in North City’s detention center,

Calvin was also watching the live broadcast.

Every frame, every second, he didn’t miss a single one.

Even when Eliza returned to her seat after receiving the award, he didn’t turn off the computer.

The camera occasionally captured her, so he watched the entire ceremony.

He didn’t snap out of it until it ended.

The old man sitting across from him asked at the right moment, “You really don’t regret it?”

You’ve asked me this before,” Calvin replied calmly, with no fluctuations in his tone.

‘So? What’s your answer this time?”

The old man continued to inquire, wanting to know his response.
