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.

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.
