Ch. 483: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 483

Chapter 483

Norah was still at home when the company’s shareholders started bombarding both the landline and Kian’s phone with calls. Different voices, but the same message:

"Mr. Edwards transferred his assets to you without our consent, and those transfers weren’t notarized."

"You’re not the only heir to Mr. Edwards. You need to give back what you took!"

"If you don’t come to the company, we’ll have no choice but to go to the Edwards mansion."

The demands grew louder and more aggressive.

A cold smirk tugged at the corner of Norah’s lips. "If you want to talk business, we’ll do it at the company. None of you are family to me or my late husband, and you didn’t have our consent to make these demands. So why should I entertain your petition?"

With that, Norah gave a sharp look, and Kian and the maid hung up the phones simultaneously.

Norah didn’t even bother with breakfast. "Let’s leave the Edwards mansion now. Kian, call my aunt."

"Understood," Kian replied without hesitation.

Karina instinctively positioned herself behind Norah, ready to follow her lead.

As the group walked out, Jace watched them from a distance. Once they were gone, he quietly left the Edwards mansion.

Edwards Group Headquarters

The shareholders and top executives were already gathered, waiting for Norah. The moment she walked in, they swarmed around her.

"You’ve divorced Mr. Edwards. You’re no longer entitled to inherit all his assets. Plus, the old man already gave you some shares before."

"Hand it over. Let’s settle this amicably, or we’ll have to resort to other measures."

"Norah, we’re doing this for the sake of the Edwards family. Don’t make this harder than it needs to be. If you don’t cooperate, you’ll regret it."

Siena pushed her way through the crowd, her chin held high, radiating arrogance.

Before Norah could respond, Kian stepped forward, holding a stack of original documents. "The asset transfers were made during the time Mr. Edwards and Ms. White were still legally married. These documents are notarized and legally binding."

"Let me educate you on the law," Kian continued, his tone firm. "Even if Ms. White and Mr. Edwards are divorced, there are laws governing the division of marital property and voluntary gifts."

The documents in Kian’s hands bore official red seals and clear, unambiguous text. But the shareholders and executives weren’t swayed. It was obvious they’d already conspired against her.

They fired back: "How do we know Norah didn’t manipulate Mr. Edwards into signing those documents? Now that he’s gone, there’s no way to verify."

"Everyone knows Mr. Edwards’ background. Without the Edwards family, there’s no Edwards Group. It’s impossible that he’d leave everything to Norah, a divorced woman, without giving anything to his own parents. Did Norah save his life or something?"

"Let’s settle this here and now. There’s something fishy about these transfers. Mr. Edwards left behind a mother and father, yet you’ve given them nothing. Kian, as Mr. Edwards’ assistant, what’s your role in all this?"

"Are you colluding with Norah?"

"If that’s the case, we have every reason to suspect that the two of you had a hand in Mr. Edwards’ death!"

The room buzzed with accusations, their eyes narrowing with suspicion. Siena, in particular, looked smug.

Kian hadn’t expected such a betrayal. But Kevin was gone, and he’d promised to help Norah keep the Edwards Group running smoothly. Norah was the person Kevin had cared about most, and if Kevin were here, he’d never let her be treated this way.

Standing by Norah’s side, Kian felt the weight of his duty—not just to protect her, but to uphold Kevin’s legacy and his own integrity.

Kian’s voice was steady but firm. "Mr. Edwards transferred all his assets to Ms. White before his passing. The dates on these documents prove it. At the time, Ms. White was in labor, though the child couldn’t be saved. After everything she’s been through with Mr. Edwards, it’s not unreasonable for her to receive these assets."

Before Norah could speak, a familiar voice cut through the tension.

"Norah, were you looking for me?"

Bonnie walked in, wearing a light purple cheongsam, her short burgundy hair framing her striking features. She exuded confidence and elegance.

Norah smiled and approached her. "Aunt."

After greeting Bonnie, Norah turned to face the crowd. "Since you’re all so opposed to me inheriting the Edwards family’s assets, I’ll transfer everything back to the Edwards family today. If there are any disputes among the executives or other family members, you can sort it out yourselves."

Her tone was calm, her expression unreadable.

"Norah, what are you saying?" Bonnie was stunned. She’d come after Kian called, thinking Norah needed her help. She hadn’t expected Norah to offer to transfer all the assets to her.

These were gifts from Kevin. How much he chose to give was his prerogative, and Norah had been by his side for years. She deserved every bit of it.

Siena’s face darkened. Bonnie and Siena had long since stopped speaking, and Martin, Siena’s son, had distanced himself from her. If the assets went to Bonnie, would Martin even side with her anymore?

Over the years, Siena had lost too much—her influence, her family, and now, possibly, her last shred of power.

Siena’s voice was icy. "Bonnie, you already have your own assets. You don’t need to get involved in this."

But Norah wasn’t fazed. She’d come back to settle this once and for all.

Bonnie stepped in front of Norah, her lips curling into a cold smile. "If I don’t get involved, you’ll bully Norah to death. These assets were given to her by Kevin voluntarily, and they’re legally notarized. You have no right to interfere."

"If you’re so unhappy, why don’t you take it to court?" Bonnie’s words were directed squarely at Siena.

The assets belonged to Norah, and the executives had no say in the matter. Siena was only causing trouble because she held the title of Kevin’s mother. But Bonnie wasn’t about to let her get away with it.

"Bonnie! Kevin is dead, and the Edwards family’s assets should stay within the family. Why should they go to an outsider?" Siena’s voice was sharp, her expression venomous. She was ready to fight Bonnie tooth and nail.
