Ch. 376: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 376
Chapter 376
Siena’s expression darkened instantly. Her voice rose with anger. “What is going on? Why hasn’t anyone told me they’re already divorced? And now someone dares to interfere in their relationship? Shameless! No, I have to confront her. How dare she challenge our family like this? I won’t let her off!”
Hearing Bianca’s distress only fueled Siena’s rage.
Whenever Bianca was wronged, Siena made sure to get justice for her.
Bianca hurriedly grabbed her arm. “Auntie, you can’t. If you go, Norah will humiliate you. I can’t let you be disrespected like that.”
“She’s nothing! If she wants to join the Edwards family, she’ll have to go through me first,” Siena scoffed. “Don’t worry, sweetheart. If she dares to hurt you, I’ll make sure she pays for it—even if I have to put everything on the line.”
Siena was blinded by anger. As soon as she made up her mind, she stormed out. No one could stop her.
“Auntie, wait!” Bianca called out, but Siena was already gone.
Bianca didn’t chase after her. Instead, she watched her leave with dry eyes, knowing Siena would make Norah suffer.
With Siena stepping in, Bianca’s life would be much easier.
—
Norah had just been discharged from the hospital and returned home. She moved carefully, her pregnancy making every step a challenge. The maids handled her luggage while she walked at a slower pace.
Kevin was busy with work, and she hadn’t informed him about Bianca’s release from prison. She felt a pang of resentment, wanting an explanation from him.
Before she could even sit down, a maid rushed in to report, “Madam, Mrs. Edwards is here.”
Norah hadn’t seen Siena in a long time.
Since leaving the Edwards family, Siena had stopped visiting, convinced that there was no future between her and Kevin.
Honestly, without the Edwards family breathing down her neck, life had been peaceful. But now, Siena was here before she and Kevin had even reconciled. That could only mean trouble.
Since she was Kevin’s mother, security hadn’t stopped her.
“Norah!” Siena stormed in, carrying two large buckets.
Norah looked at her, keeping her expression neutral. “What brings you here?”
Siena’s eyes narrowed as she took in Norah’s swollen belly. She hadn’t expected her to be pregnant. But there were more pressing matters. Her voice dripped with venom. “You left the Edwards family, but you’re still scheming. You won’t give up on my son, huh? Now that you’re pregnant, you think that guarantees you a place in our family?”
From the moment she walked in, Siena showed no respect.
Norah’s tone remained cool. “If you came just to say that, I suggest you leave. You’re this child’s grandmother. The least you could do is speak with some dignity.”
Siena scoffed. “Dignity? After what you did to Bianca, you expect me to be polite? Please. You probably don’t even know who the father of that child is. And yet, you want to use the Edwards name? Do you think you’re worthy?”
Norah’s patience snapped. “Watch your mouth. I’m allowing this child to call you ‘Grandma’ only out of respect for Kevin. If you don’t want that, fine. This ‘cheap grandma’ title isn’t yours to claim!”
Siena sneered. “I should leave? You and Kevin are divorced. I’m his mother. If anyone should leave, it’s you!”
Norah sighed, realizing there was no reasoning with her. “Escort her out.”
The maid immediately stepped forward to guide Siena out.
Siena resisted, shoving her aside. “I’m Kevin’s mother! He still calls me ‘Mom’ with respect. And yet, you dare to kick me out? Are you insane?”
The maid hesitated, intimidated.
Norah, however, didn’t back down. “Every time Bianca is in trouble, you rush to defend her. You think I don’t know she’s your daughter? You abandoned her before, and now you want to make up for it. The question is—does she even want you back?”
Siena stiffened, momentarily shocked. She had thought it was a secret. But Norah already knew.
Straightening her posture, Siena declared, “Yes, Bianca is my daughter! I’ve sacrificed enough for the Edwards family. Why should I let you slander her?”
Norah remained unfazed. “This isn’t slander. If you want justice for her, go to the police. Not me. Today, she lost her reputation. Tomorrow, I’ll make sure she’s behind bars.”
She turned to the maid. “Show her out.”
This time, the maid obeyed, forcing Siena toward the door.
Furious, Siena screamed, “Norah, you’re a curse! Either you die today, or I do!”
With that, she yanked open the lids of the buckets she had brought.
The sharp scent hit Norah immediately, and her face went pale.
“Quick! Get her away from me—it’s gasoline!”
The maid realized the danger and rushed to call for help.
Siena lunged toward Norah, but this time, Norah was ready. Clutching her stomach, she stepped back quickly, keeping her distance.
Security guards burst in and pinned Siena down before she could get any closer.
Knowing she had lost her chance, Siena became desperate. With a crazed look in her eyes, she pulled out a lighter and flicked it on.
Flames erupted instantly.
The fire spread rapidly.
Siena struggled against the guards, laughing hysterically as the flames rose. “Burn! I’ll burn you all! Let’s see how you marry Kevin now, Norah!”
Norah’s blood ran cold. She had underestimated Siena’s madness. The woman didn’t just want revenge—she wanted destruction.
“Put out the fire!” someone shouted.
Fortunately, the villa’s security systems were top-notch. Fire suppression sprinklers activated, and security personnel quickly extinguished the flames.
The fire barely lasted a minute.
But Norah was left shaken.
Siena, still restrained, glared at her with wild eyes. “You tried to ruin Bianca. Now I’ll destroy you!”
Norah had seen people act in desperation before, but this… this was pure insanity.
She knew one thing—if she wanted to protect herself, she couldn’t afford to be soft-hearted.
“Take her to the police,” Norah ordered coldly. “Let them punish her however they see fit.”
Siena continued struggling, screaming, “I’m Kevin’s mother! So what if I set fire to the house? It’s my right! You can’t do anything to me!”
She truly believed her status made her untouchable.
Then a cold, furious voice cut through the chaos.
“Mrs. Edwards.”
Kevin had arrived.
His sharp eyes locked onto Siena, his fists clenched at his sides as he fought to control his anger.
Siena’s confidence returned. “Kevin, you’re finally here! Look at this woman—she’s trying to send your own mother to the police! See how cruel she is? Open your eyes and realize what kind of heartless woman she really is!”
