Ch. 325: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 325

Chapter 325

This news soon reached Bianca.

Determined not to lose face in front of Norah, Bianca forced a smile and addressed the crew, "Kevin and I will treat everyone to a feast. Order whatever you want—it’s on us!"

“Wow, that’s generous!”

The crew buzzed with excitement.

“Thank you, Bianca! Thank you, Mr. Edwards! You truly deserve to be Mrs. Edwards one day—so kind and thoughtful!”

The compliments inflated Bianca’s pride, and she beamed. Supporting the title of Mrs. Edwards in front of everyone gave her a sense of triumph. She added, “Everyone’s working so hard. A full stomach means more energy for work. This is also Kevin’s and my prayer for our project—may it be a huge success!”

“To a big hit!”

The crew raised their glasses, though they were only filled with soft drinks.

Meanwhile, Bianca’s assistant, Cleo, was rushing around, noting everyone’s orders and managing logistics.

Emani watched Bianca with a mix of disdain and disbelief. She couldn’t understand why Norah had divorced Kevin, or how Kevin ended up with Bianca. It was all so messy, and the more Emani thought about it, the angrier she felt for Norah.

Kevin’s marriage to Norah had been kept private, yet here he was flaunting his relationship with Bianca for the world to see. It felt like a betrayal of Norah’s feelings.

Emani’s frustration deepened.

Norah, on the other hand, seemed unaffected as she observed them. She caught Steven’s eye and offered him a warm smile. “This is really good—you should try it.”

She picked up a snack and held it out for Steven to taste.

Steven hesitated, visibly surprised. He hadn’t expected Norah to feed him, but he quickly leaned forward and took a bite. “Mmm, it’s delicious,” he said with a wide smile.

Kevin saw everything, and his expression darkened immediately. His sharp gaze bore into Steven, and his clenched jaw radiated cold fury.

Norah continued casually, “You’ve been looking out for everyone all day. Have you even had a proper meal?”

Steven responded gently, “It’s second nature to take care of people. I don’t mind.”

“Well, let me take care of you for once.” Norah handed him another piece of food, which Steven accepted with a chuckle.

Then she grabbed a tissue and wiped Steven’s mouth.

Smash.

The sudden sound of shattering glass made everyone freeze.

Kevin had crushed his goblet in his hand.

“Mr. Edwards, are you all right?” someone asked anxiously.

Bianca, alarmed, immediately grabbed his hand. “Kevin, let me see! Oh no, you’re bleeding!” She turned to Cleo, panicking. “Cleo, bring the first-aid kit!”

Cleo scurried off to fetch it.

But Kevin seemed unbothered by the bleeding, as if the physical pain couldn’t compare to what was raging inside him.

Norah noticed the scene and met Kevin’s cold, accusatory eyes. She smirked, her tone laced with mockery. “Better get that bandaged quickly, or it might leave a scar.”

Bianca shot Norah a sharp look. “Norah, I’m trying not to hold grudges for the past, but could you stop making sarcastic comments?”

Norah shrugged, her voice icy. “It’s not sarcasm—it’s the truth. A cut like that is nothing for him.”

Bianca snapped back, “Even so, I care about him.”

She reached for Kevin’s hand again. “Let me treat it before it gets worse.”

Kevin pulled his hand away abruptly. “No need,” he said curtly. “It’s just a scratch. It’ll heal on its own.”

“But—” Bianca protested, only for Norah to interject.

“Listen to Bianca,” Norah said, her voice dripping with irony. “She’s worried about you—might even lose sleep over it.”

Kevin’s expression grew even darker, his irritation barely contained.

Norah turned away, no longer interested in their theatrics.

Emani leaned closer to Norah, whispering, “Ugh, I can’t stand Bianca’s fake concern. She’s so over the top.”

Norah smiled faintly but said nothing. She had dealt with Bianca’s facade too many times to be fazed by it now.

Later, Norah excused herself to the restroom. After splashing water on her face to cool off, she turned to leave, only to find someone blocking the door.

Kevin.

Before she could say anything, he slipped inside and locked the door behind him.

Norah frowned, her voice sharp. “What are you doing? This is the women’s restroom!”

Kevin’s intense gaze held hers, and she felt a moment of unease. But then she steadied herself, her tone turning cold. “What do you want?”

After a tense silence, Kevin finally spoke. “Have you been avoiding me?”

Norah narrowed her eyes. “And if I have?”

His brows furrowed. “That night... did I say anything to you?”

Norah blinked, momentarily caught off guard. But then she smirked and said lightly, “You were drunk. Whatever you said doesn’t matter.”

Kevin’s jaw tightened. “Norah—”

“Look,” she interrupted, stepping around him. “You have a fiancée now. This kind of behavior isn’t appropriate. You should focus on treating the woman you chose properly.”

With that, she brushed past him and yanked open the door, walking out without looking back.

Once outside, Norah paused, her chest tightening with an inexplicable ache. For a brief moment, she felt like she’d lost something, but she shook the thought away and forced herself to move on.

Back with the crew, Steven was preparing to leave.

Norah walked him to his car.

“I’m heading abroad,” Steven said suddenly.

The news startled her. “A business trip?”

“Not exactly.” He hesitated before explaining, “It’s risky. I don’t know what’ll happen, but I have to go.”

Norah frowned, concern flashing across her face. “What kind of work would force you into such danger?”
