The Hidden Gold Mine Heiress Divorcee

Chapter 427 Capitalizing on the Moment 

It was Ziana!

Edison would never forget her voice for as long as he lived.

Clutching his phone tightly, he couldn’t help but say, “Ziana, it’s me.”

“What’s up?” Her tone was distant, lacking the warmth it once had.

Edison pursed his lips, his heart sinking. “Ziana, I… Are you still mad at me?”

“No,” she replied calmly. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Her short response delighted him. “Really? Ziana! You’re not mad at me anymore? Do you understand my predicament? I had no choice back then. I couldn’t just ignore Winifred. Can you see that?”

“No.” Ziana remained concise.

“Ziana.” Edison’s heart skipped a beat and his tone grew heavy. “You’re still angry.”

“I’m really not.” Ziana sneered and explained, “You made your choice, and I made mine. You chose Winifred, and I chose to kick you out. Is there a problem?”

Her words were gentle, but to Edison felt that they were like the first icy winds of winter, slicing. him to the bone.

He felt like the air he breathed was biting.

“Do you have anything else to say?” Ziana said impatiently. “I’m very busy.”‘

He didn’t dare continue with the topic. He knew all too well that Ziana didn’t harbor deep feelings for him. Her words were unguarded, and that was why they hurt him so easily.

“I read about Boris on the internet,” Edison said, collecting himself and returning to his gentle demeanor. “I truly feel sorry for him. I hope his operation is successful, and he recovers fully. I know you care deeply for him, and I’m worried about your state.”

Ziana remained expressionless. “Well, I’m fine.”

“If you need help, just tell me,” he said softly. “I want to be there for you. It may not be appropriate to say this now but…”

He paused before continuing firmly. “Mr. Lewis isn’t right for you. He’s surrounded by danger, and If you follow him, you’ll be dragged down with him. I don’t want to see you get hurt. I know what you want is a stable life. I can give that to you, but Boris can’t. So please, consider my offer.”

“As I said, you’re out.” Ziana’s voice grew weaker. “Since you seem to have forgotten, let me remind you again. I heard that you and Winifred are getting engaged. Congratulations.”

“Ziana…”

“Don’t call me again.”

A beeping busy tone echoed next to his ear. Edison’s expression shifted from gentle to dark in an instant.

He hurled his phone to the ground, marched towards the door, and bellowed, “Open up!”

The palace door creaked open from the outside, and a bodyguard poked his head in. “Prince Edison, how can I be of service?”

“I want to see my mother.”

The two bodyguards exchanged glances, thinking he had finally come to his senses, and hastily said. they would report.

20 minutes later.

Princess Lia arrived gracefully upon receiving the news.

As she entered the palace, the bodyguards discreetly closed the palace door for the mother and son to converse.

“At last, you’re willing to see me.” Princess Lia examined her freshly manicured nails. “Things. have come to this point. If you want to appease Duke Bourne, you must marry Winifred. In fact, you can’t have Ziana, Winifred is a good choice.”

“How is she good? How can she compare with Ziana?” Edison retorted in a cold voice.

Princess Lia glanced at him. “In this world, how many women can compare with Ziana? In terms of wealth and family background, Winifred may not be as good as Ziana, but she loves you and cares for your well-being. What’s more, her father is second-in-command of Wesbruck.

“If Duke Bourne becomes your father-in-law, your future in the Western Royalty will be boundless.”

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Princess Lia continued earnestly, “As a mother, how could I harm my own child? Everything I do is to pave the way for you. I don’t ask you to understand my efforts, but I beg you to listen to me and follow my plan.”

“Your plan is to force me to marry a woman I don’t love?” Edison retorted. “I came here today to tell you: let me go. I’m going to find Ziana.”

“What?” Princess Lia slammed her palm on the table. “Didn’t you break up with her? What are you going to do with her now? If you go, what will Duke Bourne think? Have you ever thought about your situation in the Western Royalty?”

“Ziana needs me now. I have to go there.” Edison took out his phone and showed her. “Boris had an accident. She has no one else around her now. It’s a good opportunity. If I go, maybe I can win back her heart.”

Princess Lia understood what he meant. “Are you trying to capitalize on the moment?”
