Ch. 484: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 484

Chapter 484

Bonnie wasn’t used to Siena’s attitude. “To outsiders? Am I an outsider now?”

Norah hadn’t expected Siena to react so strongly to her decision to transfer the property to Bonnie. “Aunt, I didn’t call you here to argue. That’s not what I meant, so don’t be upset. If you want the property, I have the authority to give it to you.”

With that, Norah gave Kian a look. Though Kian hadn’t anticipated this, he followed Norah’s wishes without hesitation, handing the original documents to Bonnie in front of everyone.

Bonnie pressed her lips together, about to speak, but Norah cut her off. “I have my own plans. Managing the company isn’t one of them. Aunt, Kevin cared deeply about this company and the Edwards family. You’re the most suitable person to take over.” Then, she turned to Kian. “About your leave request—you’ll stay on as my aunt’s assistant.”

Norah felt utterly drained.

She had already made up her mind. Staying here, in this city filled with memories of Kevin, was unbearable.

Especially this company.

If she held onto it, she feared she’d be trapped in the past, unable to move forward.

After explaining everything, Norah turned and left.

With Karina by Norah’s side, Kian felt reassured.

Now that Bonnie had the documents, Kian needed to help her complete all the necessary processes. Since Bonnie was part of the Edwards family, the other shareholders didn’t dare object.

But Siena wasn’t about to stay silent. Fuming, she stepped in front of Bonnie. “Why are you siding with Norah? Do you think I don’t see through your selfish motives? You just want to seize control of the Edwards family! You and Norah are in this together. Tell me, what did she offer you to make you betray me like this?”

Despite Siena’s anger, Bonnie remained unfazed.

She lifted a hand, signaling Kian to clear the room of executives and shareholders.

Now, only Bonnie and Siena remained.

Siena’s fury only grew. “Bonnie, stop acting so righteous. You’re not any better than me! What kind of game are you playing?”

Bonnie’s lips curled in sarcasm. “And what about you? You’re standing here, throwing accusations like a rabid dog. Honestly, I don’t know how the Edwards family ended up with someone as disgraceful as you.”

Her gaze was sharp—cold and full of contempt.

Bonnie knew everything Siena had done. She had simply chosen to ignore it because she hadn’t been living in the Edwards household.

She had even tried to bring Kevin and Norah together in the past. But fate had its own cruel plans. By the time Kevin and Norah realized their feelings, it was already too late.

And yet, even now, Siena refused to let up. Kevin and Norah had been kept apart in life, and now, even after Kevin’s death, Siena wouldn’t leave Norah alone.

“You—!”

Siena was seething.

Seeing her like this, Bonnie’s smirk deepened. “I haven’t said anything yet, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know. Siena, should I remind you why you’re so obsessed with Bianca? You think you’ve kept it hidden, but the entire Edwards family knows.”

Bonnie stepped toward her.

Though she wasn’t tall, standing before Siena, she exuded dominance.

Siena’s face paled.

Everyone in the Edwards family knew about her and Bianca. From beginning to end, she had been nothing more than a pathetic joke.

No wonder the old man never acknowledged her or approved of her plans. Instead, he chose Norah as Kevin’s wife.

No wonder Martin never came home.

No wonder Bonnie always looked at her with such disdain.

No wonder Norah had that same expression.

Siena let out a wild, bitter laugh, completely abandoning the composed image she once tried to maintain.

Bonnie didn’t spare her another glance. She simply turned and left the conference room.

But where was Norah?

Norah had already left the Edwards family estate, heading to visit her parents. Karina followed closely behind, worried she might do something reckless in her grief.

Sitting in the car, Norah’s phone rang.

It was Bonnie.

“Aunt,” Norah answered.

Bonnie’s voice was gentle yet firm. “I know you’re hurting. But no matter how much pain you feel, life goes on. I won’t sign the property transfer. The title is still in your name. When you’re ready, you’ll come back and take over the Edwards family. Otherwise, Kevin will haunt me in my dreams. How could I explain myself to him then?”

Norah’s heart clenched.

A dream…

Kevin was gone, and everyone around her was slowly coming to terms with it.

Even she was beginning to accept it.

But with time, memories fade. Would she one day forget him too?

No.

Never.

She couldn’t forget Kevin.

A bitter taste filled her throat. “Aunt, you’re still in charge of the company. I have something important to do. Kevin was in peacekeeping before… I want to be a war correspondent.”

Before, it had been just an idea. Now, it was a conviction.

Kevin had dedicated his life to peacekeeping. If she couldn’t fight by his side, she would tell the world about the suffering caused by war. She would fight alongside him in her own way.

Bonnie was stunned.

She thought about Norah’s past career, her current emotional state, Kevin’s dedication, and Norah’s unyielding nature.

Norah and Kevin were the same type of person—once they made a decision, nothing could change their minds.

Bonnie pressed her lips together and sighed. “Norah, I won’t try to stop you. But you’re not leaving today. Have dinner with me before you go.”

“Okay,” Norah agreed, “but first, I need to see my parents.”

“Alright. I’ll pick a place and send you the location.”

“Okay.”

After they ended the call, Norah and Karina arrived at her parents’ house. Karina waited outside while Norah went in alone.

Jack and Gwen’s eyes filled with sadness the moment they saw her. “Look at you. You’ve gotten so tan.”

“And so thin… You two…”

They knew everything that had happened between Norah and Kevin.

Norah took their hands, her voice hoarse with emotion. “Dad, Mom… thank you for raising me all these years.”

Jack and Gwen exchanged glances, their hearts heavy with unspoken words.
