Invincible Heir novel Chapter 166

Hearing this, Bryan was white with rage. Baron, in his view, was nothing. He came from a wealthy and powerful family. So, he was contemptuous of Baron for his humble background.

“You all are making a gigantic mistake, Mr. Bush! His identity isn’t a secret in Cona! He is the son-in-law of the Perry family. Trust me, every word I said is true. He must have stolen the black-and-gold card!” Bryan said, staring at Baron resentfully.

Edith had a little reservation at first, but at this time, his assistant whispered several words in his ear, “It’s his name, Baron Owen.”

The words explained away Edith’s doubts. He felt a little guilty suspecting Baron without an actual real reason.

Just then, a voice behind him said, “Bryan is right, Mr. Bush!”

Edith turned, and saw Paris, who stared at him with anxious eyes.

Paris finally got the courage to stand by his friend. Because of him, Bryan got into trouble. So, he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.

But his words made Susan angry. “Paris!” she shouted.

Edith didn’t argue with him. He asked calmly, “What do you mean?”

“Mr. Bush, I’ve heard some amazing stories about Baron. You want to hear it?” Paris said and his face broke into a triumphant smile. He continued, “Five years ago, Tracy Perry, the great beauty in Cona, had a fling with a safeguard and then she married him! The poor safeguard not only got a pretty wife and immediately became a rich guy! Do you know who the lucky guy is? Let me tell you. He is Baron! Mr. Bush, the scandal spread through all Cona five years ago. Everybody knows it. Ask others if you don’t believe me.”

Just at that moment, there was much talk of it.

“Oh, yeah. I remember. It is all true, everything he said.”

“Yes. I’ve also heard the Perry family is in dire straits.”

“You’re right. The Perry family is sort of broke. So, it seems impossible that he has a black-and-gold card.”

Edith looked at them and, without a word, smiled. He had known the card was true and Baron was its owner. In his view, maybe Baron’s story was wonderful and maybe what they said was true, however they were wrong about Baron’s background. He was so much more than the son-in-law of the Perry family!

Baron sat very still and watched them, without a word.

After thinking for a few moments, Edith looked at Paris and asked, “What’s your name?”

Paris got a little overexcited. He hastily introduced himself, “Mr. Bush, I’m Paris Maguire and Tom Maguire was my grandpa.”

Edith didn’t speak and turned to Bryan, asked, “And you?”

Bryan answered with delight, “I’m Bryan and I’m from the Woods family.”

And in this way, he asked the names of a few others, who just had spoken. Then he said to his assistant, “Have you got all their names?”

The assistant nodded, “Yes, Mr. Bush!”

“OK, that’s good. From this day forward, they will not be allowed to attend any auction I’m responsible for,” Edith said calmly.
