It was someone named Nancy Woods.

The answer was clear.

Ah, that long?” Sadie was surprised.

liza grabbed her coat and walked out.

I can’t call you Director Blaine now, can 17”

Hector sighed. “Well, call me however you like.”

Chapter 356

Eliza was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said. “Thank you.”

After the car drove away, Hector’s secretary asked him, “Commissioner Blaine, you specially flew to Washington just to congratulate Miss Grant in person?”

Hector had originally planned to go on a business trip to the northwest, but he made a detour to Washington.

He only attended to give his congratulations and then left.

t was a lot of time and effort for such a brief visit.

lis secretary was curious and asked a few more questions.

n his memory, Hector had always been a calm and composed person.

le had never seen him do something so out of the ordinary.

ector didn’t answer, his gaze lingering on the window outside.

e just… wanted to see her once.

sh and Imogen arrived just before the banquet started.

nogen had matured a bit more and had become more poised and graceful.

hough Eliza hadn’t returned to Washington much these years, she knew quite a bit about what was going on in Washington.

sh and Imogen had become the model couple in their circle, very affectionate.

nite, with the help of Imogen’s father, had overcome difficulties and gradually gotten back on track.

iza had heard that the only regret they had was that they hadn’t had children yet after years of marriage.

iza wasn’t very interested in such matters. But Imogen, still as familiar as before, chatted with her after exchanging greetings with Josh.

le said Eliza looked even more beautiful now.

hen she moved on to talk about her marriage, how good Josh was to her, and how he didn’t want her to become a mother too soon. That’s why they hadn’t had ds after all these years.

liza wasn’t really interested in this family talk, so when she received a message from Belle, she quickly said goodbye to Imogen and went to the entrance to

leet her.

elle had come directly from the airport. She wasn’t wearing formal attire, but her star aura still couldn’t be concealed.

Baby! I made it! Pretty impressive, right?” Belle gave Eliza an enthusiastic hug.

Why did you come all the way here? Aren’t you on vacation?”

A vacation can be taken anytime, no need to make a big deal of it. Besides, I’m a small boss at Apex. I can’t just stand by all the time?”

Jiza just listened and didn’t take it seriously.

Have you gained weight recently?” Eliza suddenly asked.

Belle clutched her chest, “You’re too hurtful with your words!”

You were too thin before, so any weight gain is more noticeable,” Eliza said matter of factly

Vacation means I’ve indulged a bit. I tell you, foreign men are really strong! You missed out.”

Chapter 356

Eliza had no words to respond.

After a while, Matt arrived.

Eliza went with him to the VIP room.

Belle wandered around the banquet a bit, eating some desserts and drinking some juice. She was enjoying herself until she suddenly heard a voice that made her stomach churn.

What are you doing here?”

As soon as Belle heard that voice, she felt like throwing up.

And with her already having morning sickness, the disgusting voice triggered it, and she immediately threw up.

ilith sneered. “How can you be so shameless? How embarrassing. No wonder Ambrose hasn’t made your relationship public, You’re really not worthy of him.”

telle dry–heaved for a while, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

eing disgusted by Lilith made her feel even worse. “Yes, yes, you’re the perfect match! You two are made for each other, alright?”

he rolled her eyes and went straight to the bathroom.

fter she cleaned herself up and came out, she ran into the scumbag and the bitch hiding in a secluded area–having an affair!

ilith was snuggling in Ambrose’s arms, using an exaggerated voice to flirt with him.

Ambrose, I don’t know why my cousin hates me so much. When I met her earlier and tried to talk to her, she not only mocked me but also called me isgusting. I don’t know what I did to offend her.”

mbrose comforted her, “She’s just like that, don’t mind her.”

I’ve always wanted to fix things with my cousin, but she never gives me a chance. I don’t know what to do,” Lilith said, looking incredibly pitiful.

mbrose wasn’t concerned, “It’s not important, don’t care about her opinion.”

Not important…

Yeah.

he’s not important.

Even if she, Belle, is his legal wife!

to him, she would always be a trivial person.

Belle bit her lip, turning and walking away in the opposite direction.

And because she bit down too hard, she tasted blood in her mouth.

She stayed alone on the small terrace for a long time, until Eliza found her.

When Eliza saw that she was okay, she breathed a sigh of relief. “Why are you hiding here?”

Belle’s eyes were vacant, and she smiled bitterly, “If I disappeared, you would be the only one to look for me,”

“What are you talking about?” Eliza noticed something was off with her and was worried.

Belle didn’t want to ruin her mood on such a good day, so she smiled and said. “It’s nothing, just something I thought about. By the way, I heard that Calvin is out now, do you know about this?”

Eliza froze.

She didn’t know.

hapter 356

Or rather, in the past few years, she hadn’t intentionally looked into Calvin’s situation.

Naturally, she didn’t know he was out.
