Chapter 181 I Will Fight You to the Death
“I do hate to say it.” Ziana stopped laughing.
She had just admired him for being wise, but now he was asking such questions.
Her voice was soft, but her tone was detached, “You’re not my boyfriend yet. As a pursuer, it is not appropriate for you to ask me this. Even if you are my boyfriend, I don’t need to give you an account of my past relationship experience.”
“That was between him and me, which is private between me and him. I didn’t like you at that time, so what would it change if I explained it to you?” Ziana looked at him, “Whether I choose you or not has little to do with him, and only depends on whether I like you or not. Regarding loyalty, you need not worry even more. If I choose you, I will be loyal to you.” Her dark, bright eyes settled on him.
Edison was a little impressed with her.
She was gentle, acting like a rabbit, seemingly at the mercy of others.
Now she seemed more interesting than he had thought, and even more sober and intelligent than the vast majority of women.
That was right.
Everyone in the Scott Family was smart.
As the super–intelligent genius of the entire family, how could she be a fool?
“I’m sorry.” Edison apologized promptly, “I wanted to go long–term with you, so I wanted to learn some of his lessons and reduce the trouble.”
Ziana shook her head and said, “You’re not the same as him, and it’s useless to learn from him.”
She finished without waiting for an answer and paced slowly forward, not wanting to dwell on this topic.
Edison looked at her back and smiled charmingly. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
He thought he did get a little anxious. But he was too curious.
In fact, he had met Ziana and Boris a long time ago.
At that time, they were in trouble together and seemed to be inseparable from each other.
He thought they were already a couple.
So, when Ziana was eighteen and chose Boris, he was not surprised at all and even withdrew willingly.
He just didn’t expect that two people who were once so close and could even give their lives for each other would get divorced.
He thought back to the few times he had seen them.
Boris seemed reluctant to divorce, while Ziana’s attitude was firm.
As for Yudel, even the Scott Family’s attitude toward Boris was ambiguous.
Although he had only had a few contacts with Yudel over the years, he knew that Yudel was vengeful.
Anyone who offended him would be retaliated by him.
But he and the Scott Family were very friendly to Boris, who abandoned Ziana, which was not normal.
Could it be…
Edison thought of that meeting long ago, and Ziana, who looked like that, suddenly squeezed his hand.
His cold and indifferent eyes instantly emerged with complex emotions of guilt, gladness, and distress. Then he took a deep breath__
and stepped to chase after her.
Probably because of the earlier mention of Boris, Ziana was a bit cold towards him in the later part of the road.
Edison secretly smiled bitterly.
Even if the princess acted easygoing, she was still arrogant and proud.
She could take a joke, but she would not allow anyone to pry into her privacy, no matter what.
He didn’t want to offend her, so he followed silently.
It wasn’t until they reached the restaurant that Ziana asked him, “What’s for dinner?”
Edison respected her, “Anything you want.”
Ziana nodded.
The cruise ship had everything. This “Central Avenue” was filled with star restaurants and luxury stores.
Ziana looked at the rows of restaurants and pondered what to eat when a delighted shout came from behind her.
“Ziana!”
“Ziana!”
“Hello!”
Before the words were out of their mouths, Nina and Susan came running along, followed by their partner and photographer.
Eddy was Nina’s male partner this time. When he saw Ziana, he greeted her warmly, “Miss Scott, hello again. Do you remember the live stream we talked about last time?”
Ziana remembered. Because of Boris, they hadn’t even added WhatsApp yet.
“Add WhatsApp,” Ziana said voluntarily.
Eddy smiled happily, “Okay! Miss Scott, we must chat sometime!”
“No problem.” Ziana agreed quickly.
When Nina saw that they had added WhatsApp friends, she shouted, “I don’t have Ziana’s contact information! I want to add it too! Ziana, please.”
She turned toward Ziana and pouted adorably.
Susan silently stretched out her QR code directly.
“Okay! Come on!”
Ziana had a good feeling about them. After exchanging WhatsApp, they discussed what they wanted to eat.
The three ladies finally chose a buffet.
Nina said expectantly, “I’ve never had a five–star buffet before. King prawns and king crabs should be available, right? If I don’t get my fill today, I won’t come out!”
Ziana and Susan cooperated and fiercely said, “Eat! Let’s eat a lot!”
Nina pretended to be cruel and said, “Come on!”
The people watching the live stream were amused.
“We know that they are going to eat. Those who don’t know will think that they are going to fight!”
“Nina is so cute. She and I are a lot alike, eating expensive meals at a star buffet!”
“Isn’t Ziana very rich? It’s just a star buffet. Why it looks like she hasn’t seen these before?”
“So, a country girl is a country girl. Even if she’s rich, she still can’t get rid of the air of poverty!”
“You think the class can be easily crossed? Ziana is just an inspiring country girl!”
“I wish Ziana is the girl from the Scott Company, so they’ll regret what they said!”
While Ziana and the others were eating, Boris was in his room reading Darlene’s profile.
He didn’t like the Arte Family of Japera City.
The Arte Family had a history of hundreds of years, like the Lewis family, and had started making a fortune in recent decades.
Over the past hundred years, the two families have had a relationship that was sometimes good, sometimes tense, sometimes antagonistic, and sometimes cooperative.
In the business world, there were no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
In Japera City, when it came to the Arte Family, the Lewis family could not be ignored, and vice versa.
Five years ago, the Lewis family was in turmoil, and the Arte Family took advantage of the opportunity to annex the Lewis family’s properties, which Boris remembered!
He once suspected the Arte Family was involved in that incident. But after a long secret investigation, he found no evidence.
After all, the Arte Family was run by a shrewd old man.
If they had done it, they would have cleaned up all the traces in the months after his crash.
It would not have been left for him to investigate.
Although no evidence was found, he had been on guard against the Arte Family ever since he took power over the Lewis family.
Therefore, he didn’t trust the Arte Family’s people.
However, from the information available so far, he found that Darlene’s background and experience were very simple.
She was just a mediocre female painter who could hype.
As for her paintings…
Boris scanned those strange paintings and didn’t bother to take a look.
It was worse than the sketch Ziana had done.
He was thinking about that when the doorbell rang.
Boris got up to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, a punch came to his face!
Steven said aggressively, “I’m back! Boris. I’m your friend. How dare you kiss my woman? I’m going to fight you to the death today!”
