The Hidden Gold Mine Heiress Divorcee

Chapter 472 Edison’s Disguise. 

More than half an hour later, Duke Bourne drove to Maple Mansion.

The waiter at the door had been waiting here early. When Duke Bourne got off the car, the waiter took the initiative to greet Duke Bourne and lead the way.

Duke Bourne had a stern face. He seemed calm, but in fact, he was nervous.

Duke Bourne still didn’t guess what this meal was for.

The waiter quickly took Duke Bourne to a room, and knocked on the door. Then, a woman’s calm voice came from inside.

“Come in.”

The waiter turned sideways and said, “Duke Bourne, please.”

Duke Bourne pushed open the door, and walked in slowly.

As soon as he entered, he saw a large screen with a painting of landscapes, which was extremely exquisite. There was even white smoke lingering in the air. Duke Bourne felt like walking in a pine forest. It made people who entered the room feel relaxed and happy.

“Is it Duke Bourne?” Catherine’s voice sounded suddenly, bringing Duke Bourne back to his senses in an instant.

Duke Bourne responded, and quickly walked around the screen. He didn’t expect that there would be another man in the private room. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Right behind the long table, a man in a suit and leather shoes sat there.

The dim light illuminated the man’s perfect face.

The man looked up. His eyes were sharp and dark.

Just one glance, Duke Bourne was frightened.

Duke Bourne staggered back two steps, and said in surprise, “Mr. Lewis?”

Duke Bourne looked at Catherine in disbelief, then looked at Boris again with a strange expression.

He hesitated, and asked tentatively, “Mr. Lewis, you’re not a fool?”

Boris chuckled softly and said, “I don’t want to be a fool anymore.”

Duke Bourne thought Boris was brilliant!

Then, he understood instantly!

He thought, He has been playing dumb before!

So…

Duke Bourne reacted very quickly, and he thought of something that happened at the engagement banquet.

He thought,

Could it be that he wants to ask for trouble now?>

Duke Bourne was a little nervous. However, thinking of his identity, he believed that Boris would not dare to do anything to him.

Duke Bourne thought, After all, I am a noble duke!>

Thinking of this, Duke Bourne deliberately straightened his back and said, “Mr. Lewis, it is really a strange hobby. Why do you pretend to be stupid?”

Boris said casually, “I just want to do so to tease real fools.”

Hearing that, Duke Bourne was speechless.

Catherine looked at Duke Bourne with a smile, and said slowly to smooth things over, Bourne, please take a seat. The food is ready, and we will wait for you to come and start the meal.”

Duke Bourne was unhappy because of Boris’ words.

“Duke Although he sat down, his tone was very unfriendly. Duke Bourne said, “I am not that honored. Besides, it’s just a meal. Since you invited me here, why don’t you tell me what you want to say directly!”

Catherine got mad.

She thought, “This is what I hate Duke Bourne the most! He is just the deputy leader of the military affairs in Wesbruck. How can he be so arrogant and treat me like that?

Catherine pursed her lips, looked at Boris next to her, and asked, “Mr. Lewis…”

Without looking up, Boris poured himself a cup of coffee slowly, as if staying out of the matter.

Catherine thought for a while, took a deep breath, and continued in a gentle voice, “Since Duke Bourne said so, let’s get down to business. I invite you to come here today to show you a video.”

“I haven’t come to watch a video!” Duke Bourne refused.

Catherine ignored him. She found the video, and directly clicked the play button.

It was the part where the maid accused Edison.

The longer Duke Bourne looked, the more angry he becaine.

What the maid said was very clear.

It was Edison who asked her to drug Winifred!

Duke Bourne slapped the table and said, “Impossible! How is this possible? I don’t believe it! Prince Edison has always been very good to Winey. They grew up together. He protects her very much. It is impossible to treat her like this!”

Catherine sneered and said, “If you are not a duke and don’t have military strength, do you think. Edison would still be engaged to your daughter?”

“If he got engaged to Winey because of this, then he has no reason to hurt her!” Duke Bourne still couldn’t believe it.

Duke Bourne thought,

“Because he found someone who can support him more, he has long looked down on you. Getting engaged to Winifred will only hinder his further development,” Catherine said, “My younger brother seems to have no desires. Actually, he is smarter and more cunning than anyone else.”

Duke Bourne has spent most of his life in politics, struggling all the way up.

With a little reminder, he would soon understand the stakes.

Duke Bourne asked, “He wants to get the support from the Scott family?”

“Compared to the Scott family, a duke is nothing,” Catherine smiled and said, “And he has long wanted to get support from the Scott family. Duke Bourne, you are now betrayed, and your daughter’s reputation is also ruined because of his tricks. Your daughter is laughed at by the higher class of Wesbruck.

Are you sure you don’t want to take revenge?”

Duke Bourne was shocked. He stood up abruptly, and walked out without saying a word.

Catherine shouted from behind, “Duke Bourne, go back and think about it carefully. If you want revenge, cooperate with us as soon as possible,”

The door closed again.

The room was eerily quiet.

Catherine watched Boris put down the coffee cup, and said in a low voice, “Mr. Lewis, will he cooperate with us?”

“Use him if he cooperates, and let him lose his power if he doesn’t cooperate.” Boris said calmly, as if he was not talking about a major event that determined one’s future of life, “Inform him that I want his answer tomorrow. If he doesn’t want to cooperate with us, he will never have the chance to cooperate with us.”

Catherine nodded respectfully and said, “OK.”

Boris stood up and walked out in silence.

Catherine wanted to persuade him to stay, but in the end she didn’t say anything. Catherine watched Boris leave.

After he left, Catherine called Duke Bourne.

“Duke Bourne, you must give me an answer before tomorrow.”

Duke Bourne hung up the phone and felt stressed. He drove home absent-mindedly all the way. Then, he found that Winifred was very drunk.

Winifred was crying while drinking. When she saw Duke Bourne coming, she raised her face and sobbed, “Dad. When will you kill Ziana? I want Edison… Without him, I will die!”

Duke Bourne was sad.

He walked over to take the wine bottle away. Duke Bourne hugged Winifred and said softly, “My silly daughter! You have been cheated! Edison doesn’t like you at all. That you were drugged, and the engagement was forced to be canceled, are all because of Edison!”
