Ch. 248: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life chapter 248

Chapter 248

Bonnie didn’t expect a call from Siena, and her irritation flared up instantly. “What’s the problem now? Did Bianca run crying to you again? Fine, let’s hear it—what’s her latest complaint?”

Siena’s voice was sharp. “Where are you right now?”

Bonnie scoffed, spinning a stray sunflower seed in her fingers. “Why should I tell you? Who do you think you are?”

Siena’s tone dripped with disdain. “Afraid I’ll come find you? I know your precious beauty salon got trashed, and now you’re hiding like a coward.”

“Afraid? Me? Never! Don’t forget, Siena—you’re only part of this family because you married Kevin’s father. If it weren’t for that, you’d be nothing to me!” Bonnie’s voice cracked like a whip.

“Fine,” Siena snapped. “Let’s settle this once and for all. Meet me, if you’re not too much of a coward.”

“Don’t think I won’t. You want to hash it out? Let’s do it.”

Bonnie slammed the phone down, grabbed her purse, and stormed out.

Norah, alarmed by the sudden outburst, ran after her. “Aunt, where are you going? Let me come with you.”

Bonnie turned back, her eyes blazing. “No. This is between Siena and me. Watch closely—you’ll see her try and fail to put me in my place.”

“But what if—”

“Stay out of it!” Bonnie snapped before jumping into a taxi.

Norah turned to Steven, her voice trembling. “I need to follow her. I can’t let her walk into something dangerous.”

Steven hesitated, then nodded. “I’ll drive you.”

Bonnie’s taxi pulled up to a cemetery. Her face tightened as she stepped out. A cemetery? Really, Siena? What kind of game is this?

She spotted Siena standing by a tombstone, holding a bundle of incense. Bianca stood beside her, her face pale but composed.

“Auntie,” Bianca was saying, her voice soft and pleading. “Please, don’t fight with Aunt Bonnie over me. Grandpa Edwards wouldn’t want to see this.”

Siena clutched Bianca’s hand and wrote on a notepad, knowing Bianca couldn’t hear: This is for you, Bianca. I won’t let her get away with this.

Bonnie strode forward, her heels clicking against the stone pathway. “Siena!” she called out, her voice sharp.

Siena turned, her expression hardening. “Perfect timing. Let’s settle this here, in front of my father. You hurt Bianca, and you’re going to answer for it.”

Bonnie’s gaze slid to Bianca, her lips curling into a sneer. “You’re unbelievable, Siena. Wasting your energy on this girl? If you’d spent half as much effort supporting Kevin, things wouldn’t have turned out this way. But no—you’ve always had your priorities backward.”

Siena’s eyes flashed. “Don’t you dare lecture me! Kevin is my son. My blood. What are you? Just his aunt. A bystander.”

Bonnie’s laughter was cold and sharp. “Your son? Don’t make me laugh. If it weren’t for me, Kevin wouldn’t have survived his first month. You gave up on him the moment he was born!”

Siena’s hands trembled, her eyes reddening. “Don’t drag up the past. If anyone failed, it was Martin! He abandoned us!”

Bonnie crossed her arms, her voice cutting. “And you, Siena? You’ve spent your life destroying one family after another. Have you ever once looked in the mirror and admitted your own mistakes?”

“I’ve done nothing wrong!” Siena’s voice cracked, her fists clenched.

“You’ve done nothing but wrong!” Bonnie shot back.

Bianca stepped between them, her face pale but her voice steady. “Auntie, please. Both of you, stop. I’m fine. I don’t blame anyone.”

Bonnie turned on Bianca, her voice dripping with venom. “Don’t play the victim, Bianca. You’re nothing but a manipulative little snake. Pretending to be innocent while stirring up trouble behind everyone’s back. You disgust me.”

Siena lunged forward, shoving Bonnie. “Who are you to insult her like that? She can’t even hear you, you coward!”

Bonnie shoved back, her voice rising. “You want to fight, Siena? Let’s see who wins!”

The two women collided, their argument exploding into a physical scuffle. They clawed and shoved at each other, their shouts echoing through the cemetery.

Norah and Steven arrived just in time to see the chaos unfold.

“Aunt!” Norah cried, running toward them. The uneven stairs made every step treacherous.

“Norah, be careful!” Steven called, rushing after her.

Siena and Bonnie were locked in a fierce battle, hair tangled and clothes disheveled.

“You’ve been nothing but a poison in Kevin’s life!” Siena shouted, her voice raw with fury. “You kept him from me, and now you’re trying to destroy Bianca too. I won’t forgive you!”

Bonnie’s face was red with anger, her voice dripping with scorn. “And you’ve been a terrible mother from the start! Kevin is not your own son, but you are so indifferent to him. Do you think Martin left you because you were innocent? You’ve always been selfish, Siena, and Kevin has paid the price!”

The words struck like a thunderclap. Norah froze, her breath catching in her throat.

Kevin... wasn’t Siena’s biological son?

Her mind raced, but before she could process it, she noticed someone standing in the shadows, silently watching the entire scene unfold.
