Ch. 250: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life chapter 250

Chapter 250

Siena looked at Norah as she spoke and snapped, "Norah, stop talking like that! Don't make things worse and hurt her even more!"

Her immediate instinct was to protect Bianca.

Norah walked over and saw Bianca crying, her face streaked with tears, her body limp, looking fragile and helpless. She turned to Siena and said, "Why are you so concerned about Bianca? What you're really worried about is that your son is gone. Bianca's just playing the victim here, trying to avoid blame. But I saw it with my own eyes—Bonnie was pushed down, and you're the one responsible. Bianca is probably the one who started all of this!"

Bonnie had been rushed into surgery, her injuries severe, and Norah's concern for them was practically non-existent.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Siena snapped. "I pushed Bonnie, but it was a light push. Why don’t you admit that Bonnie fell on purpose?"

Norah looked at Siena, unimpressed. "The push wasn't light. We all saw what happened."

Siena’s voice rose. "Norah, you're speaking to me like this? I’m an elder in this family—your mother-in-law! Do you really want to make things worse for yourself?"

Norah sneered. "If you don’t want to own up to your actions, you’ll just use your status to try to intimidate me? You denied me from the start. Now, just because of Bianca, you’re suddenly on her side, defending her. Who do you think she is, that you’re protecting her so carefully, afraid she’ll get hurt?"

Siena grabbed Norah's arm. "You don’t get to worry about this. If you hadn’t egged Bonnie on, she wouldn’t have done anything to Bianca, causing her hearing loss!"

Norah glanced back at Bianca, who was still crying, her tears flowing freely. She had always relied on her hearing loss to avoid responsibility, expecting others to clean up the mess for her.

"She told you Bonnie made her deaf?" Norah asked, amused. "Ask Kevin. He knows exactly what happened to Bianca's ears—who really caused the damage. It wasn’t my aunt, and you’re just a pawn in all this."

Siena froze for a moment and turned to look at Bianca.

Bianca cried even harder, fear in her eyes. "Auntie..."

Siena turned back to Norah, her voice defensive. "Even if Bonnie didn’t cause it, she still hurt Bianca in other ways. Why do you think so many people online are speaking out against her? Bianca is a star, a household name. Of course, the elders are speaking up for her!"

Norah’s face remained cold as she suddenly pushed Bianca.

"Ahh!" Bianca cried out as she stumbled, falling hard to the ground.

Norah hadn't used enough force to seriously hurt her, but it was enough to cause discomfort.

Siena’s face twisted with anger. "Norah, what are you doing? How dare you treat her like this in front of me?"

Norah, looking at Bianca sobbing on the floor, snapped, "You want to stand up for her, but why can’t I stand up for my aunt? What’s wrong with giving her a little push? I didn’t hit her—I showed restraint!"

Siena’s anger flared. "You're impossible!" She moved toward Norah, her eyes burning with fury.

In the heat of the moment, she reached out to grab Norah by the hair, but Kevin stepped in, his voice cold. "Enough!"

Siena turned toward Kevin, frustration evident on her face. "Kevin, see for yourself! This is Norah’s true nature. She’s always trying to push Bianca around. She’s not worthy of being part of this family! Bianca is the one who deserves to be your wife. You need to divorce her now!"

Kevin’s expression remained flat, his voice firm. "Don’t get involved. My aunt’s in surgery, and you’re the one who’s responsible. Don’t try to blame anyone else. If something happens to her, you’ll have to face the consequences. This was your mistake, Siena. You’ll have to live with it."

Siena’s face went pale. "Kevin!"

But Kevin turned and walked away, leaving her standing there, fuming but powerless.

Siena, feeling helpless, went to comfort Bianca, who was still sobbing in her arms. "Bianca, stop crying. You’re not a burden."

Bianca clung to her, tears streaming down her face. "Auntie, am I just a bother? Do I make everyone hate me?"

"No, no, you’re not a bother," Siena reassured her, gently patting her back. "Everyone loves you."

Bianca cried harder, her sorrow palpable. Despite any mistakes she had made, she had become the victim in everyone’s eyes.

Siena felt the weight of her own guilt. If it weren’t for the hospital setting and the people around, Norah would have torn Bianca apart, exposing all of her pretenses.

But no matter what, Siena would continue to defend Bianca, no matter what the truth was. Their bond was unshakable.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps.

"How’s Bonnie?" Martin’s voice cut through the tension.

Norah looked up and saw Martin coming toward them. He was dressed in a suit, his hair neatly combed. Though he was in his fifties, he still had a youthful, handsome appearance, but his eyes were cold and distant, showing a hint of concern for Bonnie’s condition.

After all, Bonnie was his sister, and no matter the distance, he cared about her.

Norah had only seen Martin a few times during her years in the Edwards family. Their relationship was distant, and despite being the son of Grandpa Edwards, Martin didn’t seem close to anyone in the family.

When Grandpa Edwards passed away, Martin didn’t return to the family home. The family business had passed to Kevin, not him.

Martin didn’t even acknowledge Siena. He went straight to Kevin. "How’s your aunt?"

Kevin frowned slightly and answered coldly, "She’s still in surgery."

Martin paused, then said simply, "We wait."

Siena, seeing Martin, was struck with surprise. She had hoped that Martin would defend her, but his indifference only deepened her frustration.

Her voice trembled with anger. "You’ve never been there for me! I was sick and you didn’t visit, but as soon as Bonnie gets hurt, you rush over! You treat me like I’m invisible, don’t you?"

Martin turned to her, his face cold, his eyes filled with disdain. "Don’t think I don’t know what you did. I’ll settle it with you once Bonnie wakes up."

"She deserved it!" Siena cried. "If she hadn’t hurt Bianca, I wouldn’t have had to push her! You’re just as indifferent now as ever!"

Martin’s gaze flickered to Bianca, who had stopped crying but was now tense and avoiding his gaze. She whispered cautiously, "Uncle... Uncle."

Martin’s cold expression softened just a bit, but his tone remained harsh. "For the sake of an outsider, you’re losing your mind. You’re going too far!"

Siena, in disbelief, shot back, "You want a divorce? After all these years of marriage, you want to throw me away for some... woman?" She spat the words. "I’ll never leave the Edwards family. Even if I die, I won’t let you go!"

Martin’s expression twisted with disgust.
