The Hidden Gold Mine Heiress Divorcee

After Boris departed from the banquet, Duke Bourne’s tense face transformed into a wide grin.

He instructed Edison to welcome the guests before joining his friends in the official circle to exchange greetings.

Edison watched him leave and let out a barely audible sneer.

He was eagerly anticipating the spectacle that would unfold at today’s banquet.

As the engagement banquet approached, Ziana and Yudel arrived fashionably late.

As soon as Edison saw Ziana, his indifference vanished, and he warmly greeted her with a smile, “Ziana.”

Ziana nodded politely in response, but it was Yudel who spoke up, “Prince Edison, congratulations.”

Edison’s smile faltered slightly with disappointment, “Thank you. This way please.”

Yudel glanced around the room before replying with a calm smile, “Thank you.”

After entering the banquet hall, he leaned in to whisper to Ziana, “Did Edison come to see you last night?”

Ziana didn’t want to discuss the matter and shot her brother a warning look, “Stop prying.”

“I’m just concerned about you.” Yudel corrected her with a smile.

In front of her family, Ziana didn’t bother to hold back. “Don’t bring him up.”

Yudel raised an eyebrow, recalling Edison’s actions from the previous night. It was indeed terrible.

He changed the subject smoothly. “Alright then, let’s talk about someone else. Where is Boris?”

“How should I know?” Ziana replied nonchalantly, though she seemed uncertain.

Yudel adjusted his glasses, “You don’t know? I saw him leaving your room this morning.”

Ziana felt a twinge of embarrassment. “You must have been mistaken.”

“But he greeted me.”

Ziana was at a loss for words and pretended to be confused. “Really? Why did he leave my room then?”
