The Hidden Gold Mine Heiress Divorcee

Edison spoke slowly, “It’s not wrong to say that I want to capitalize on the moment. all I know is that opportunity waits for no one. If I seize it, Ziana will be mine.”

Princess Lia looked at his determined expression and grew serious.

She sat down in a chair and pondered for a moment before declaring loudly, “I don’t agree.”

“I’ll go anyway!” Edison had already anticipated her response and remained calm.

He told his mother coolly, “If you don’t want to lose your only son, let me out!”

“What do you mean?” Princess Lia was taken aback before reacting with extreme anger. “Are you threatening me with suicide?”

Edison didn’t speak but simply smiled at her.

“Unbelievable!” Princess Lia exclaimed with quivering lips, still processing the information, “It’s absolutely insane! Ziana has no feelings for you whatsoever…”

“Feelings are cultivated.” Edison interjected with a raised eyebrow and calmly stated, “Didn’t you tell me that? Moreover, it was you who chose Ziana in the first place. You urged me to approach her, to pursue her ardently. Why are you suddenly changing your tune?”

Five years ago, Princess Lia and Mr. Collins had conspired to orchestrate a kidnapping case.

They had aimed to create an opportunity for Edison to become a hero by saving a damsel in distress, to introduce him to Ziana, and ideally, to make him her boyfriend.

Unfortunately, Boris had been an unforeseen complication in their plan.

Edison had no choice but to save them both.

Although being merely a lifesaver was not as prestigious as being Ziana’s boyfriend, the Scott family had shown their gratitude through generosity.

This helped Edison gain recognition in the Western Royalty over the past five years.

“Five years ago, I was supposed to be her boyfriend. But because of Boris, I lost five years with her – five years wasted. Now that something has happened to Boris, and he’s lying in bed like a vegetable, I won’t let this opportunity slip away again.” Edison clenched his fists and declared, “If I can marry Ziana, it will be more advantageous than marrying Winifred.”

“Of course, I know that Ziana is the best option. However, last time you were
