Ch. 513: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 513

Chapter 513

Freyja isn’t playing around. If she can’t be with Baimo, she’d rather spend the rest of her life alone. No compromises.

Baimo stayed quiet, but just as he was about to speak, Freyja cut him off. “Young Master Baimo, I’ve never seen you with anyone… of the opposite sex. Do you… like men?” She couldn’t even look him in the eye when she asked.

Baimo’s expression darkened instantly.

Before he could respond, Pharaoh walked in. “Good, you’re awake. Take these pills.” He handed Baimo the medicine without ceremony.

Baimo didn’t argue. He swallowed the pills without a word.

Freyja seized the moment to pour him a glass of water. Baimo took it, but before he could thank her, Pharaoh shot Freyja a look. She got the hint and left, giving father and son some privacy.

Pharaoh got straight to the point. “Someone from Country S is here. Even though you’re injured, you’ll need to handle the negotiations.”

Baimo frowned. The Yi tribe and Country S rarely interacted. Why show up now? It had to be about Kevin.

“Understood,” Baimo said coolly.

Despite his injuries, Baimo met with the envoy from Country S—a strikingly beautiful woman. She was calm and composed when she saw him. “I’m here for two reasons. First, I want to discuss a partnership with your Yi tribe. We need your medicinal resources. Second…” She paused, her gaze steady. “I’d like you to introduce me to Kevin. He’s the third son of our President, and I have urgent matters to discuss with him.”

Baimo smirked. “Your so-called partnership is just a cover. Finding Kevin is your real goal. But if you’re looking for someone, do it yourself. I’m not your messenger.”

The woman didn’t flinch. “The person we’re looking for is in your Yi tribe, Young Master Baimo. We’re being polite first, but we’re prepared to escalate if necessary.”

Her bluntness didn’t faze him. The Yi tribe had avoided conflict for years, but if someone was bold enough to challenge them, Baimo wasn’t about to back down.

“War between nations doesn’t mean slaughter,” Baimo said, his voice icy. “But if you dare to provoke us, the Yi tribe won’t retreat an inch.”

Despite his pale, weakened state, Baimo’s authority was undeniable. The woman remained calm, repeating, “I need to see Kevin.”

Baimo relayed her words to Kevin verbatim. “I’m not your messenger. I’m telling you this because the Yi tribe will always stand behind Norah. If she’s threatened or hurt, we’ll be the first to act.”

Kevin understood. The Yi tribe would protect Norah at all costs. If his presence endangered her, they wouldn’t hesitate to remove him.

Kevin met with the envoy, but he was stunned to see who it was.

“I have a wife and child. You know this. Why are you here?” Kevin’s tone was sharp, devoid of any warmth.

The woman, Gugny, stepped closer. “I know about the child. The President wants the child to stay with him. As for your wife… you’re divorced from Norah, aren’t you?”

“Gugny!” Kevin snapped, putting distance between them. Gugny was the fiancée Mousse had chosen for him, but Kevin had made his stance clear from the start. His heart belonged to Norah and Cooper. There was no room for anyone else.

“You’re angry,” Gugny said, undeterred. “Norah is Pharaoh’s daughter. If you’re with her, the people of Country S won’t accept it. Do you think the leaders of Craggaville will approve?”

“My life isn’t yours to dictate,” Kevin shot back. His connection to Gugny was nothing more than Mousse’s doing. They were strangers, bound by obligation.

“Why not? I’m your fiancée! This isn’t just about you. Your father saved your life. Don’t forget that!” Gugny’s voice rose, her desperation showing.

Kevin turned his back to her. “Leave. Now. Before the Yi tribe decides to wage war with Country S.”

But Gugny wasn’t done. She rushed to him again, her eyes blazing. “You took Cooper away. Is he even better now? Only your father can cure him.”

Kevin’s fists clenched, his knuckles white. If it weren’t for Pharaoh and Jace’s efforts, that might have shaken him. But Cooper was thriving with Norah. He was talking more, coming out of his shell. Kevin wouldn’t let anyone take that away.

“Are you leaving on your own, or do I need to have you thrown out?” Kevin’s voice was low, dangerous. “Don’t test me. If Country S wants a war, we’re ready.”

Gugny fell silent. She wanted to argue, but she was outnumbered. The Yi tribe wasn’t a place to pick a fight.

Before she left, she spat, “Kevin, you’ll regret this!”

Regret? Kevin knew better. He’d rather die than betray Norah again. He’d made his choice, and he’d stand by it, no matter the cost.

After leaving the Yi tribe, Gugny called Mousse.

“Did you tell Kevin everything I asked?” Mousse’s voice was calm but commanding.

“Yes, President. I did. And as you predicted, he was close enough to inhale the poison. Everything is going according to plan.”

“Good.”

Gugny gripped her phone tightly. She was determined. The man she wanted would be hers, no matter what it took.
