Ch. 547: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 547

Chapter 547

Norah's only hope now was this. She and Kevin desperately wanted recognition and blessings from their family.

Mousse nodded. "Don't worry. Since we've already discussed this, I won't trouble you and Kevin again."

He wanted Kevin to take over his position and become the next president of Country S.

But Kevin wasn’t here.

Kevin longed for a simple life. Mousse knew he owed Kevin’s mother a great debt, and after all these years of absence, he couldn't bear to see Kevin suffer any longer.

"Thank you."

Norah’s gratitude made Mousse feel even worse.

Norah and Kevin had been husband and wife for five years, yet she still felt the need to thank him. In their minds, they were destined to be together, but the distance between Kevin and Mousse was undeniable.

At that moment, Mousse felt deep regret.

Kevin and Norah remained in Country S for a while, during which Kevin assisted where he could. But unexpectedly, he was targeted—his eldest and second brothers attempted to assassinate him.

However, Kevin had anticipated this. Thanks to Baimo’s arrangements and his own security, the attempt failed completely.

After their capture, his brothers refused to admit their wrongdoing. The moment they saw Kevin, their hatred was palpable—they would rather die than accept him.

Kevin looked at them calmly and said, "When my father saved me, I was gravely injured. I had no awareness of what was happening around me. He wanted me to inherit the presidency, but I was never interested. My only ambition is my home and my family. I came here only to help my father. If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do about it. Once I leave, you’ll be free."

Despite the attack, Kevin had no intention of retaliating against his brothers.

Mousse, however, was furious. He personally beat them and then made a public announcement: "The presidency of Country S is not my decision to make. The people of this nation will choose their leader. The one with the most votes will be the next president."

Previously, Mousse had intended for Kevin to take his place, but it was now clear that Kevin had no interest in the role. Meanwhile, his other two sons had proven themselves ruthless and unworthy of leadership.

The eldest brother was in shock, his face pale. "Do you even realize what you're saying? The presidency has always been inherited. Now, just because your favorite youngest son doesn’t want the position, you’re changing everything? Are you doing this just to protect him?"

The second brother chimed in. "I never thought you’d be so biased."

Mousse shook his head. "I’m not favoring anyone. I once considered Kevin for the role because he was more capable than either of you. But your actions today have only confirmed that I made the right decision. You’ve truly disappointed me."

His anger grew with every word. If Kevin hadn’t been prepared, would he have died at the hands of his own brothers? And now they dared to blame him?

"You think I’ve wronged you? The truth is, you never cared about me as your father. If you had, if you had trusted me even a little, things wouldn’t have come to this."

"You’re just stubborn!" the second brother accused. "Kevin doesn’t want to be president, and since we didn’t meet your expectations, you’re looking for someone else to be your puppet!"

Mousse’s face darkened. He kicked both of them to the ground. "Are your heads full of nothing but nonsense? If I hadn’t turned to you before, your own actions would have destroyed you long ago. Do you understand that?" His fury boiled over.

But no one could interfere with how Mousse dealt with his own sons.

Norah glanced at Kevin, silently urging him. Understanding, Kevin took her hand, and together they left.

Norah looked at him. "The civil unrest is settled. You’ve done so much already. When can we go home?"

Political struggles between men were far bloodier than any conflict between women.

Kevin gently touched her head. "Regardless of what happened, I was planning to leave in two days. Is that okay with you?"

If she wanted to leave sooner, he would make the arrangements.

"Yes," she said, nodding.

Before they left, Mousse took advantage of Kevin’s presence to publicly expose his sons' assassination attempt. He also formally announced that the next president would be chosen through an election.

Many candidates ran, but in the end, Mousse was re-elected. As for his two rebellious sons, they were stripped of their privileges and forced to start over as civilians.

Seeing that Country S had finally stabilized, Kevin and Norah boarded a plane back to Craggaville.

Meanwhile, on Baimo and Freyja’s side…

They had returned to the Yi Tribe together.

The tribe was at peace, but as soon as they arrived, the old subordinates of the Johnstone family gathered around Baimo.

At first, Baimo thought they had an urgent matter to discuss. Instead, they had come for Freyja.

"Young Master Baimo," one of them spoke. "Freyja lost her parents early. She has been by your side for so long. In terms of both status and beauty, she is a perfect match for you. The Johnstone family remains loyal to the Yi Tribe, and Freyja is our only heir. We all hope you will officially acknowledge her and start a family soon."

Because of the past wars, ensuring the next generation was a pressing concern for the tribe. If Baimo were to die in battle, his children would carry on his legacy.

Baimo’s expression remained indifferent. "I know what I need to do. I don’t let others dictate my life."

They had said their piece. The decision was his alone.

Freyja quickly stepped forward, flustered. "I had no idea they were going to do this today! I swear, I—"

Baimo raised a hand, cutting her off. "Don’t say anything. You’ve always been by my side. I know your heart. Even if you had arranged this, I wouldn’t blame you."

Freyja looked at him, surprised, but she saw the sincerity in his eyes.

And with that, the conversation ended.
