Chapter 254 Heading to Scope Island
After saying that, Catherine waited for a long time, but there was no response.
She tentatively asked, “Mr. Lewis?”
Boris then came back to his senses and asked, “What?”
“What else do you want to know?” Catherine smiled, “Basically, I’ve told you everything I know.”
Boris didn’t mince his words with her and asked, “Do you know why Edison came back to Japera City this time?”
Catherine shook her head and then nodded. “I didn’t know at first. I thought Edison was just here to participate in the Coupling Reality Show. But it’s strange that Edison would attend a Coupling Reality Show.”
“Why?” Biber asked.
Catherine had a mocking expression on her face as she said, “In my country, Edison has been practicing celibacy, avoiding women. At the beginning of the year, his mother, Princess Lia, had been running around with Duke Bourne. I received news that they were going to arrange a marriage between Edison and Duke Bourne’s daughter, but Edison wasn’t interested!”
“You mean Duke Bourne, the second in command of Western Armed Forces?” Boris had some knowledge about Western Royalty.
“That’s right. What a good marriage!” Catherine said sourly. “When Edison refused, I thought he was crazy. Now that I think about it, it turns out that he is very ambitious. How can the daughter of . Duke Bourne compare with the daughter of the Scott Company?”
“That’s true,” Boris‘ voice turned cold, with a mocking look in his eyes. “If he can get Miss Scott,
will get everything.”
“You are right. There’s nothing that money can’t do in this world. If there is, it means the money was not enough,” Catherine’s tone was firm, “He came to Japera City for Miss Scott. I’ve seen the content that’s been trending, and it seems that Miss Scott is successfully charmed by him.”
That’s why she couldn’t remain calm.
In recent years, Edison had shone with the support of the Scott Company, and Princess Lia had roped in many officials to pave the way for him. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
If Edison hooked up with Ziana, it would mean that he would get unconditional support from Scott
Company.
By then, the throne might really fall into Edison’s hands.
Catherine would never allow such a thing to happen!

She had worked so hard for so many years. Didn’t she do charity just to be the heir?
“Mr. Lewis, that’s all there is. What about our cooperation…” Catherine got back to the point.
Catherine was actually a little worried that Boris had been asking about Edison all this time and wondered if he wanted to collaborate with him too.
“There’s no problem with cooperation, but it depends on whether you have the ability,” Boris slowly threw out a condition. “There’s something that you need to do. If you can do it well, then we
can cooperate.”
Catherine’s eyes lit up, and she said, “Mr. Lewis, what is it?”
Boris gestured for her to come closer.
Catherine approached him hesitantly and understood after Boris talked. “So as long as I do this thing well, Mr. Lewis will cooperate with me?”
Boris raised his eyebrows and asked, “Correct. Do you trust me?”
“Then it’s a deal,” Catherine said with a shrewd expression in her eyes. “Leave it to me. I’ll go back
to the West today. You can wait for my good news, Mr. Lewis.”
After parting ways with Catherine, Boris and Biber drove back.
“Where to?” Biber asked him. “Should I take you back to the company or home?”
“Go back to the company,” Boris said, and then immediately changed his mind. “No, take me to
Serenity Cove.”
Biber looked at him with surprise and didn’t say anything. He silently turned the car around.
Boris went straight to the study when he arrived at Serenity Cove.
He saw the vase on the table, the fish tank by the floor–to–ceiling window, and the easel set up there, feeling inexplicably calm.
As usual, he sat at the desk and turned on his computer.
Just as he finished reading Sean’s information, Nell’s phone call came in.
“Mr. Lewis, where are you now? We have the results of the investigation. Shall I come over to see you?”
Boris told him, “Just come to Serenity Cove.”
“Why are you back at Serenity Cove again?” Nell rolled his eyes and muttered, “When Miss Scott was here, you wouldn’t come back even if we begged you on the phone every day. And now that Miss Scott is gone, you’re suddenly back.”
It was true that men had this annoying habit of being jerks.
“What’s it to you?” Boris snarled, “Do you want me to sew your mouth shut?”
Nell shut his mouth sullenly.
Tyrant!
The devil!
How could he be so fierce?
How many years would it take for someone like him, with a bad temper and a venomous mouth, to win back Miss Scott?
Miss Scott liked Edison’s gentle style. Why didn’t he learn it from Edison?
As Nell thought about this, Boris hung up the phone.
Although he was complaining, Nell quickly took the documents and went to Serenity Cove.
He had been too busy these days to even have time to read novels.
But his hard work paid off, as he completed everything Boris had assigned him to do. He was confident when he met that tyrant.
Forty minutes later, Nell stood in front of Boris.
He looked around the entire study, noticing the new additions were all Miss Scott’s preferred style.
“You’ve seen enough.” Boris glared at him and said, “Haven’t you seen a fish tank or an easel
before?”
“I’ve seen them all, but it’s strange to see them in your study, Mr. Lewis,” Nell said honestly.
It was rare for Boris to ask about such a trivial matter. “Is it so strange?”
“It doesn’t fit your style!” Nell said.
Tyrant liked to turn the room into pitch–black, which would make him appear deep and
unapproachable.
But Miss Scott was a very warm and lively person, so the style of the things she liked was naturally bright and colorful.
Boris was distracted for a moment and did not ask any more questions and simply held out his hand, saying, “Give me the documents.”
As Boris looked through the documents, Nell subtly boasted, “Mr. Lewis, when you asked me to investigate what happened to Miss Scott when she was sixteen years old, I started by finding out
where Miss Scott was at that time. And guess what I found?”
Boris frowned in impatience and looked at him.
Nell quickly continued, “When you asked me to investigate Spirit Mountain, I found out a Mrs. Scott who bought an island named Scope Island. After Miss Scott’s identity as the daughter of a wealthy family was exposed, I discovered that Mr. Scott’s spouse is named Nancy Scott, who happens to be the person who bought that island.”
“It’s likely that it’s where Miss Scott grew up. But what Miss Scott did when she was sixteen, or whether she helped you, is still unclear. I need to go there in person to find out.”
“In addition, I found a clue about the painter, Back. I spoke to the chairman of the Artists Association, and he said that the series of paintings by Back was sent from Scope Island.”
When Boris asked Colter about Back, he refused to say anything.
So, Boris found another way and asked Nell to pry information from the director or vice director of
the Artists Association.
“All the clues now point to Scope Island, so I plan to go there,” Nell explained.
Boris closed the folder, and his face softened a bit, “No need, I’ll go there myself.”
The following day, as Boris flew to Scope Island, the official Instagram account of Love 101 posted a
teaser.
