The Hidden Gold Mine Heiress Divorcee

“Him. Not again.” Boris fumed upon hearing the news. “Does he have no shame? He kept saying he liked you and even provoked me to my face. But just now, he gave up on you for Winifred. Humph! I bet he’s here to apologize to you.”

Ziana’s expression soured.

She had once harbored a crush on Edison, as she did with every handsome man she met.

But her fondness for him gradually faded as their relationship progressed and his actions repeatedly disappointed her.

Now, she regarded him as nothing more than an ordinary friend.

If it weren’t for his heartfelt letter and the fact that he had saved her and Boris five years ago, she wouldn’t have bothered coming to Wesbruck.

“Do you want to listen to his nonsense?” Boris urged her. “Have someone drive him away.”

The maid didn’t receive a response, so she asked again, “Miss Scott?”

“You may leave,” Ziana said quietly. “There is no point meeting me. Prince Edison should go see his fiancée.”

“Ziana!” Edison’s voice suddenly rose from outside. “Ziana, I’m here to apologize on her behalf. Please let me in! I have so much to say to you.”

“But I have nothing to say to you,” Ziana replied impatiently.

“Ziana! I know you’re angry with me, but please hear me out. You won’t let me in? Fine, I’ll wait. here all day if I have to. You’ll have to come out eventually. I just want to explain,” Edison pleaded stubbornly.

Boris sneered, “Don’t let him in. Let him wait outside like the mangy dog he is.”

“Ziana!” Edison continued to shout from outside.

Ziana worried that if he kept shouting like this, someone would eventually hear and word would reach Winifred’s ears, causing her to fly into another rage.

“I’m really scared!” she exclaimed in distress. “We don’t want to provoke that lunatic.”
