Ch. 562: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 562

Chapter 562

Mike looked a bit reluctant as he pulled Bonnie aside. “Bonnie, I really like you. No matter who you are or how you live your life, I still like you.”

Bonnie wasn’t Kevin’s biological aunt, but ever since the shake-up in the Edwards family, her status in Kevin’s life had changed. He now treated her like family—his real aunt.

It showed in the way she’d started appearing in all kinds of Edwards’ Advertising Department campaigns.

Mike had worked hard to win her over. Now that he was finally getting somewhere, he wasn’t ready to walk away.

Bonnie didn’t understand any of that. She just thought Mike was being overly pushy.

She turned to Norah for help, not wanting Mike’s hands anywhere near her face.

Startled, she shoved him away.

Norah let out a dramatic wail, rushed over like a whirlwind, and threw her arms around Bonnie, sobbing uncontrollably.

“You can’t be with him. No—no way. I won’t let it happen. You promised me. You said… you said…” Her voice broke off into choked sobs.

She looked like a woman scorned, and the nearby onlookers started whispering among themselves.

Bonnie gently tried to comfort her, then turned to Mike with a cold stare. “Mike, I don’t like men. Let it go. Please don’t contact me again.”

With that, she wrapped an arm around Norah and walked out of the hotel. Neither of them dared to look back, terrified that Mike would follow and keep harassing them.

“Is he coming after us?” Bonnie asked, her voice trembling.

Norah shook her head. “No, but… he’s watching. And wait—Kevin’s downstairs now.”

Bonnie picked up the pace, worried that Kevin would ruin everything.

“No, he’s walking toward Mike. They’re talking…”

Norah nudged Bonnie aside and narrowed her eyes, trying to read Kevin’s lips.

“He said that if Mike doesn’t back off, he’ll blacklist him.”

Norah turned to Bonnie, confused. “Mike’s famous or something?”

Bonnie shrugged. “Not really. Just a signed model under Edwards'. Anyway, forget him. Let’s go.”

She was desperate to avoid another entanglement. She’d just escaped one mess and didn’t want to get dragged into another.

They had barely gotten away when Kevin’s car pulled up behind them.

Norah muttered something under her breath and exchanged a look with Bonnie.

Bonnie quickly called Kevin. “Kevin, Norah and I already have plans. You go take care of your stuff.”

“There’s a party. I got you an invite. But be careful—Mike’s not going to give up easily.”

“Got it. Can Norah come too?”

Bonnie looked at Norah. They both nodded with interest. Who wouldn’t want to go to a party?

But Kevin warned, “If you bring her, I’ll personally support Mike in chasing you.”

Bonnie groaned and swore she wouldn’t take Norah.

Still, she couldn’t help but wonder—what kind of party was it that Norah wasn’t allowed to attend?

After the recent chaos, the Edwards Group had a lot to clean up. Even though most people had come around to support Kevin, there were always a few who couldn’t let go of the past.

One of them was Armano Wang, the former Head of HR. He still held a grudge over being permanently let go for supporting Martin.

But instead of going after Kevin directly, Armano pulled some strings and found Siena, who was currently living in a sanatorium.

A light breeze blew strands of hair across Siena’s face. A nurse by her side quickly brushed them back. The gesture was so gentle, even Armano felt a little uncomfortable watching it.

Especially because the “nurse” was actually a man in his early forties—making the scene feel a bit… odd.

“Mr. Wang, you didn’t come all this way just to sit in the sun with me, did you?” Siena said without even glancing at him. She had no interest in anything related to the Edwards family.

Armano smiled. “Ma’am, I came to discuss something with you. I don’t know if you’ve heard, but there’s been a major shake-up at Edwards. Kevin’s gotten rid of all of Mr. Edwards’ old people. Edwards Group now belongs entirely to him.”

Siena let out a disinterested “Oh,” saying nothing more.

Armano pressed on. “Ma’am, if Mr. Edwards were still in charge, you wouldn’t be stuck in a place like this. I heard you’ve been wanting to go abroad, but the financial means just aren’t there. That’s all because of Kevin. He’s controlling everything.”

“What are you trying to say?” Siena asked, her face still unreadable.

Armano finally leaned in to whisper something.

Siena’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Alright. I’ll leave it to you, Mr. Wang.”

Armano nearly jumped with joy and promised he’d take care of everything.

His plan? A family reunion.

Technically speaking, Siena was still considered Kevin’s mother figure. If she called for a gathering, no one would dare ignore it.

And of course, Kevin wouldn’t refuse.

That evening, under the glow of streetlamps, Kevin showed up right on time at the club with Norah and Cooper.

When he saw Siena, he simply nodded—no other greeting.

Siena looked at Cooper with a gentle expression. “Cooper, call me Grandma.”

Kevin hesitated, but Cooper softly said, “Grandma.”

Siena lit up and handed him a thick red envelope.

Kevin and Norah exchanged surprised glances. Siena seemed… different.

And since it was a family gathering, Bonnie had to be there too. As soon as they sat down, her voice floated in from the hallway.

“You’re still so careless,” Siena scolded softly, clearly annoyed but keeping her voice low since Kevin and Norah were nearby. She looked at Norah. “Tell me, did I say anything wrong?”

“Aunt Bonnie’s actually really sweet,” Norah replied carefully. “She’s probably just excited today. Don’t take it personally.”

Norah silently cursed herself. She really shouldn’t have come.

Bonnie finally entered and greeted everyone before sitting beside Norah. She gave Siena only the briefest nod.

As with most family events, a speech from the elders was inevitable.

Siena stood up and lowered her voice. “Since we’re all gathered here, I won’t get into too much. But there’s something I want to address.”

Kevin smiled and jumped in, “Let me do the honors. Everyone, meet our new Head of Finance at Edwards Group.”

The title instantly brought a smile to Siena’s face.

The Finance Department—closest to the money. Who wouldn’t love that job?

Bonnie subtly nudged Kevin under the table, silently urging him to reconsider.

Kevin, unfazed, filled Siena’s plate and chatted about her time at the sanatorium. His knowledge of the details made it clear he’d done his homework—showing just how much he valued her.

Siena felt a wave of emotions. In that moment, she really felt like his mother. It made her hesitate about what she was planning.

Their conversation flowed smoothly until Kevin shifted gears.

“I remember before the sanatorium, you used to travel a lot. Didn’t you always say your dream was to live in Paris?”
