Ch. 305: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 305

Chapter 305

“Yes,” the person on the other end of the line answered without hesitation.

“If that’s true, then why are you doing this?”

Bianca’s anger flared, completely clouding her mind. She couldn’t take it anymore.

Why was everything that should have been hers being handed to Norah?

She should have been the one married to Kevin.

She should have been the one enjoying this extravagant proposal!

Not far away, Kevin stood, his eyes fixed on Norah, who was glowing with happiness. A smile spread across his face—the kind of smile he had longed to wear for so many years.

He had waited for this moment.

He had seen Norah so many times before, indifferent and distant, as though their marriage meant nothing to her. He had always wanted to see her happy because of their marriage, to see her genuinely smile for him.

Now, it was finally happening.

For the first time, Norah’s sincere smile was real, and it was because of him.

Kevin glanced at his phone, his expression growing serious. He gripped it tightly. “I won’t break my promise to you.”

Tears streaked Bianca’s face as she clenched her jaw. “Fine. Then I want you to give me a wedding—a wedding a hundred times more extravagant than this proposal!”

“Done,” Kevin replied without hesitation. “As long as you give me the antidote, I’ll do whatever you want.”

This was the only thing Kevin asked of Bianca.

To save Norah’s life.

Bianca didn’t feel triumphant. Kevin’s willingness to go to such lengths for Norah stung deeply. Yet, for her, it was a means to an end.

“Good,” Bianca said, wiping her tears and forcing composure. Then, with a faint sneer, she added, “I’ll let this slide. I know your days with her are numbered. You’ve been so good to her, but this three-year marriage is almost over. I can be magnanimous about it now, but you’ll have to make it up to me in the future.”

To her, it was just a proposal. Nothing more.

Bianca reassured herself that she would have so much more than Norah in the end.

She would have Kevin for a lifetime.

Kevin furrowed his brow and glanced up at the clear, blue sky, taking a deep breath. “When can you give me the antidote?”

“She won’t die for now,” Bianca replied coolly. “After we get married, I promise you it’ll be done.”

“When do you want to get married?” Kevin asked, his tone cold. “Can it be soon?”

Bianca let out a mocking laugh. “You’re that desperate?”

“The sooner it’s done, the less she’ll suffer,” Kevin said evenly.

Even though Norah had the protective beads, the poison was still in her system. She’d begun noticing changes in her body, experiencing discomfort. Kevin didn’t know how much longer she could endure it—or how it might affect their children.

The sooner the poison was gone, the better.

Kevin didn’t want to waste any more time.

Bianca’s fists tightened as her temper flared again. “Norah, Norah! All you ever talk about is Norah! What about me?”

“Bianca,” Kevin said, his tone sharp.

For a moment, Bianca’s hope flickered. She braced herself for his next words, clinging to the possibility that he might acknowledge her feelings.

But what he said shattered her.

“I don’t owe you anything,” Kevin stated firmly.

Bianca bit her lip, struggling to respond. She knew Kevin’s weakness—his sense of guilt toward her. It had always been her leverage to get what she wanted.

But now he was saying he didn’t owe her?

How could this be?

Bianca felt as though the ground beneath her was crumbling. She was losing her hold on him. Desperately, she tried to defend herself.

“How can you say that? Do you think founding an entertainment company for me and helping me enter the industry clears your debt? Even if you hadn’t helped me, someone else would have! I nearly lost my life for you, Kevin. I risked everything for you. How can you say you don’t owe me anything?”

She was desperate to clear her name, to prove she had sacrificed everything for Kevin without ulterior motives.

But from the moment Bianca poisoned Norah, Kevin had seen her true nature.

Kevin’s expression hardened, his eyes cold and unyielding. “Sacrificed for me? In the past, I wouldn’t have questioned your intentions. But now, I know the truth. You didn’t save me for my sake—you did it for yourself. To erase your own guilt as an accomplice.”

Bianca’s pupils dilated, her face pale. She couldn’t find the words to refute him.

This was a truth she had buried deep, one she never wanted to confront.

But now it was out in the open.

Her hands trembled, her mind racing for an explanation.

A bitter sneer twisted her lips. “Do you know why I’ve done everything I’ve done? Do you know how I grew up? I never wanted this life. If it weren’t for Siena, if she hadn’t abandoned me, I wouldn’t have become what I am today! Everything I’ve done—it’s because of you! You forced me into this!”

Bianca’s voice cracked, her emotions spiraling out of control.

She hated the life she was born into, hated the circumstances that shaped her.

If she’d been born into the Edwards family, if she’d had Kevin’s position, her life would have been different.

But instead, she’d been discarded.

Her father didn’t acknowledge her.

Her mother didn’t want her.

She wished she had never been born.

Kevin listened in silence, his expression unreadable. Finally, he spoke, his voice calm but resolute.

“You can hate me all you want, but I don’t owe you anything.”

He had already done everything he could to compensate her for the past.

Hearing his words, Bianca’s tears spilled over. Her grief and resentment consumed her.

She hated Siena for abandoning her.

She hated Martin for rejecting her.

And she hated Norah for taking everything she wanted.

Bianca had spent her life fighting to claim what she believed was hers. She had saved Kevin, enduring injuries that left her scarred, using his guilt to manipulate him into giving her opportunities.

But in the end, none of it brought her happiness.

Her hatred burned brighter than ever, fueling her determination. She would rise to the top, no matter what—or who—she had to destroy along the way.
