right
now.”
This response clearly caught Medea off guard.
She froze for a moment before managing a forced smile. “Alright, we’ll go in first then.”
With that, she turned to Calvin and added, “Let’s go in, we don’t want to keep Mr. Sutton waiting too long.”
She didn’t need to say that, but the way she phrased it clearly hinted at something.
Mr. Sutton?
Eliza’s brow twitched.
Could it be Mr. Sutton from LeadTech?
Before entering, Medea casually glanced at Eliza.
That look was filled with disdain and triumph.
That glance confirmed Eliza’s suspicions.
Calvin had indeed intervened again.
For Medea, Calvin was truly willing to go to any lengths.
Elizá felt a bit of relief due to Baxter’s understanding attitude, which put him at ease as well.
During the meal, they discussed business matters, and Baxter observed Eliza’s sharp business sense. Baxter quickly replied to Medea, “Maybe next time. I have some work–related matters to discuss with President Grant, so it’s not convenient
He suddenly realized that, in the past, he had been looking at Eliza through a biased lens.
He had thought she was only staying by Calvin’s side because of her looks and charm.
When he heard about Calvin’s abandonment of her in favor of Medea, he wasn’t surprised.
After all, beauty and charm aren’t a long–term strategy.
Real substance was needed for success!
But now, his view of Eliza had completely changed.
There was now a new level of admiration in his eyes.
At one point, Eliza excused herself briefly, not to the restroom, but to ask the restaurant staff about something.
As expected, the person Calvin had invited was indeed Sutton.
When Eliza returned nonchalantly, she unexpectedly caught sight of Medea trying to interfere with Enzo.
Enzo had come out to find Eliza, only to run into Medea first.
“Mr. Klein, I actually have a lot of faith in your project. But when I first took over, it was rejected by Eliza. I didn’t understand why she would drop such a promising project back then.”

Chapter 93
“Until she left Everest and started her investment firm, and invested in your project, then I realized her true intentions.”
Eliza couldn’t help but smile at this.
So this was Calvin’s judgment?
Clearly, love had blinded him!
But Eliza didn’t interrupt, instead, she wanted to see just how far someone could go for personal gain, even at the expense of ethics.
Enzo didn’t buy Medea’s words.
“As far as I know, it was you, Director Kallis, who rejected the project. What does Eliza have to do with it?”
Even when exposed, Medea didn’t falter.
“At that time, Eliza was the one who organized and handed over the projects from the third department to me. The description of your project was so vague that I couldn’t see any market potential, so I rejected it.”
“Do you trust someone like me, who’s only had a few meetings with you, or do you trust Eliza, who’s been working side by side with me all this time?”
Enzo calmly countered Medea.
Medea paused for a moment, then said, “I’m just stating the facts. You’re free to make your own judgment. But the reason I’m here is not to explain anything, but to discuss potential cooperation. Apex is a small company, unable to provide the resources or development prospects you need, but
Everest can offer all of that.”
At the mention of Everest, she spoke with confidence, “You must have chosen Everest initially because of our strength, so you should consider working
with me.”
She offered her biggest sincerity, exuding enough confidence as if she was sure he would agree.
“As long as you cooperate with me, I can use all of Everest’s resources to help you,” she continued. “You must know about my relationship with Calvin. If I want, he will fully support me. We can definitely cooperate and achieve mutual success!”
Her eloquence was so convincing, Eliza almost felt swayed.
But Enzo didn’t waver.
“Sorry, I’m not considering it.”
“I’m not interested now, and I won’t be in the future. Please don’t bother me again.”
Medea narrowed her eyes.
She hadn’t expected Enzo to be so ungrateful!
Anyone with a brain would know what choice to make,
But Enzo had rejected her multiple times, which she found hard to understand./
She thought for a few seconds and suddenly had an epiphany. “You like Eliza, don’t you?”
That’s why you’re so determined!
“So what if I do?” Enzo responded frankly.
He just didn’t dare to tell Eliza, cautiously maintaining balance, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t willing to admit it in front of others.

But she had Cabins support!
And besides emotions were fickle.
Eliza wala abays be so stil
After they separated. Elira moved a little.
But she didn’t immediately return to the group. Instead, she stared steadily at the people across from her.
Calvin had arrived not long after she showed up.
It seemed that some unspoken understanding was at play between them.
Neither spoke nor interrupted: they just stood quietly, eavesdropping.
And they heard everything.
For the entire conversation, they silently exchanged glances.
Calvin leaned back, his face hidden in the dimming shadows, growing increasingly indistinct.
Eliza didn’t have time to analyze it, she simply reminded him before she left, “Calvin, you should watch your people, stop digging around for others, or you might end up hurting yourself. It’s not worth it.”
