Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 350

Chapter 350

Three years later.

Late at night, Eliza arrived at North City Airport, where Sadie was waiting for her.

On the way to the hotel, Sadie handed Eliza the prepared schedule and updated her on the key points of the upcoming North City Venture Capital Conference, along with the relevant instructions.

There were several promising projects listed, which Eliza highlighted with a red pen, instructing Sadie to conduct background checks.

As Sadie scanned the list, he found that the projects were related to pharmaceuticals, commercial aerospace, and new materials.

Eliza’s keen business sense once again impressed Sadie.

Upon reaching the hotel, Eliza took a shower.

She was still jetlagged and couldn’t fall asleep.

Soon, Xander sent her a message, asking if she had arrived.

Eliza replied affirmatively.

Xander, relieved, also updated her on Ottilie’s daily routine.

Eliza already knew all about it, as she had hired four professional caregivers to look after Ottilie’s meals and daily needs.

Eliza was about to thank Xander when someone knocked on her door.

She thought it was Sadie, but when she opened it, she was greeted by several unfamiliar men.

“Hello, Ms. Grant, I’m Julian from OmniTech. This is our project proposal, and we hope you can take a look.”

“Please take a look at my proposal, Ms. Grant. I’m the founder of Pandora.”

“Here’s mine too, Ms. Grant.”

‘Me too…”

Seven or eight men appeared in front of her hotel room in the middle of the night, which was truly unsettling.

Luckily, the hotel staff quickly arrived and stopped the men from entering.

‘Please leave immediately! You’ve severely disturbed our guest’s rest!”

‘If you don’t leave, we’ll call the police!”

After some more threats, the men reluctantly left.

The hotel staff repeatedly apologized, claiming that the situation was a result of their negligence.

Eliza didn’t want to pursue the matter further, so she just reminded them to be more careful in the future before closing the door.

She then called Sadie, requesting a room change,

Sadie was also angry when he heard about the incident. “Who leaked the news?”

Eliza’s return for the venture capital conference had been kept secret to avoid situations like this.

But with Apex’s huge reputation, countless entrepreneurs wanted to secure Apex’s investment, which made it nearly impossible to keep her itinerary

confidential.

Eliza always kept her plans under wraps whenever she returned, but there were always slip–ups–like tonight.

Sadie quickly arranged for her to switch hotels.

When Eliza arrived at the new hotel, she ran into Baxter.

Baxter couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw her.

“Eliza?”

His voice broke the silence of the hotel lobby, filled with surprise.

Before Eliza could respond, he had already run up to her. “It’s really you! I thought I was seeing things!”

“When did you come back?”

“Is your overseas study over?”

Baxter asked several questions in rapid succession.

Eliza answered selectively, “I just came back for the venture capital conference.”

Implying that her studies weren’t over yet, and she would return abroad.

Although Baxter felt a little disappointed, he was still very happy to see her.

He hadn’t seen Eliza in three years.

Even though he knew where she was, he didn’t have the right to visit her.

So this chance meeting felt like a rare and unexpected gift to him.

I’m also here for the venture capital conference. I didn’t expect to run into you here. What a coincidence.” Baxter was talking non–stop now. “Are you staying at this hotel? What a coincidence, I’m staying here too.”

Eliza didn’t respond much, just glanced at her watch.

It was already 1 AM, a little late to catch up..

Baxter realized this too, quickly saying, “It’s getting late, you should go back to your room and rest. We’ll catch up tomorrow!”

Eliza nodded politely, acknowledging his words.

As she turned, the room key card slipped from her hand.

Before she could bend down to pick it up, Baxter quickly retrieved it and handed it to her.

Thank you,” Eliza said politely as she took it from him.

“You’re welcome.”

After Eliza left, Baxter slowly lowered his hand,

His gaze lingered on his fingers, where the warmth of the moment still lingered,

He instinctively clenched his hand, as if trying to hold onto that fleeting warmth.

The North City Venture Capital Conference was the largest and highest–funded conference in the country.

The projects selected for it had been carefully vetted, and with government support, they were all highly promising,

As soon as Aliza took her seat, the conference officially began.

The host was someone aliza knew well–none other than Hector.

After three years, he was even more composed than before.

After chatting briefly with Hector, he headed straight for Eliza.

“Ophelia came with me. After the conference ends, let’s have dinner together?”

Eliza, “Sure.”

She hadn’t seen Ophelia in a while, so she wouldn’t pass up this rare opportunity.

Baxter overheard this and regretted not inviting Eliza to dinner first!

He cursed himself for always being one step behind.

As his mother liked to say, “You never catch up with the hot food!”
