Ch. 568: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 568

Chapter 568

“Something happened to Isaac here? How is that even possible?”

Norah pushed the door open and stepped into the office. Seeing Kevin reviewing the security footage, she lowered her voice, “What’s going on? Tell me you didn’t do this.”

“You think I’d drug him?” Kevin shot her a sharp look as he watched the secretary walk out of the break room. When a figure suddenly flashed across the screen, he immediately told Norah to focus.

Truthfully, she was already locked in on the person on the monitor—something about him felt familiar.

The man clearly knew where the surveillance cameras were positioned—he kept his back to them the entire time. He wore a baseball cap, and with his hair completely covered, it was impossible to identify him. Still, Norah couldn’t shake the feeling she knew him.

The footage showed the man walking confidently out of the break room, unnoticed by anyone.

“Doesn’t he look familiar to you?” Norah finally said what had been on her mind.

Kevin didn’t respond, his face tense as he switched the camera view to the hallway outside his office. They caught the man stepping into the elevator.

“This guy’s got nerve,” Norah muttered.

The way he exited so casually—he had to be someone from inside the company.

“I say we call the police. I don’t care who he is—he’s not getting away with it.”

Norah looked at Kevin, uncertain if he’d want to take that step. “If it’s awkward for you to handle this, I’ll take the heat. I’ll be the bad guy.”

“No need,” Kevin said firmly. He couldn’t bear the thought of her being dragged into the mess. He leaned over and kissed her cheek with a smile. “Let’s be honest, I’m too good-looking not to play the villain.”

Norah rolled her eyes. “Shameless.”

“I’ve only got thick skin when I’m around you, Norah,” he replied.

After sharing that brief moment, Kevin had his secretary call the police, then he and Norah headed to the hospital to check on Isaac.

To avoid the press, Kevin had already arranged with the hospital to use a back entrance. When their car pulled up in the alley, the hospital director himself was waiting for them.

After a few formalities, they all went upstairs.

On the way, the director gave them a quick update—Isaac’s condition wasn’t serious, but the Laurin family was treating the situation with extreme caution.

Kevin’s brows furrowed. “Did they release any kind of statement?”

Even though Isaac wasn’t the Laurin family’s eldest son, he’d always been outstanding—beloved by the elders. That’s why he’d been allowed to travel freely for so many years. If it had been any other family member, they’d have been packed off for training long ago, not handed generous allowances every month.

“That’s the strange part,” the director said. “No one from the Laurin family showed up. Just Isaac’s mother called and asked us to take good care of him.”

Kevin read between the lines immediately.

The Laurin family was clearly watching, but they weren’t jumping to conclusions.

They were waiting—waiting to see how Isaac himself would respond before making any public move.

If Kevin’s hunch was right, the key was to keep Isaac calm. He cursed under his breath—he should’ve brought Bonnie.

It was like a reflex now. He kept thinking of using Bonnie to rein Isaac in.

Even if he wouldn’t admit it out loud, it was the truth—and it was effective.

At the ward, the director excused himself for other duties but warned them not to stir up any misunderstandings—if things got out of hand, he wouldn’t be able to protect them.

Kevin nodded, then walked inside.

“Kevin,” Isaac called out weakly.

Kevin nodded in response.

Isaac’s eyes shifted to Norah. “Is this your wife? You two really look like a couple. I knew it the second I saw you together—no wonder you get along so well.”

His expression was full of envy, and Norah immediately picked up on his tone.

She set down the fruit basket she brought and pulled a stool up next to the bed.

“Looking like a couple doesn’t mean much,” she said. “What matters is two people who truly care about each other. You’re an incredible guy, Young Master Laurin—you’ll find the right person.”

She didn’t name anyone in particular. She wanted Isaac to admit it himself—that he liked Bonnie.

Isaac wasn’t oblivious. He gave a wry smile. “I’m afraid that ship has sailed. I was too competitive when I was younger and ruined my chances. Guess this is my karma. Maybe I’m just meant to end up alone.”

“Well, now I don’t even know how to respond,” Norah said. “But let’s be real—did this happen because you were drugged at our company?”

She wasn’t going to sugarcoat anything or say something fake. She cut straight to the point.

Isaac glanced at Kevin and gave a bitter laugh.

Norah and Kevin exchanged looks. She let out a sigh.

“What’s wrong, Madam Edwards?” Isaac teased. “Trying to out-sad me? No need for that. Don’t worry—I know this whole thing is all over the news. Once I recover, I’ll speak up. I won’t let Bonnie take the fall for any of this.”

“Young Master Laurin, it’s Kevin who’s being hit the hardest right now. Don’t get it twisted.” Norah’s tone sharpened. “We didn’t drug you. Sure, it happened in our building, so we take responsibility, but don’t forget—”

“Norah, it’s okay,” Kevin cut her off, noticing the flash of irritation in Isaac’s eyes.

He gently patted Norah’s back. “Give us a moment. I want to talk to him alone.”

Norah left the room and sat on a bench outside. She replayed the surveillance footage in her mind—the figure’s posture, the way he moved. The more she thought about it, the more familiar it seemed.

But she just couldn’t place it.

The sound of footsteps caught her attention. She looked up and saw someone sneaking around the stairwell.

Mike.

Norah suddenly remembered.

She leapt up from the bench and burst back into the ward.

“I know who it was!”

“Who?” Kevin looked at her.

“It was Mike—he’s right outside! He’s still holding a grudge over what happened with Bonnie. He blames Isaac for getting in the way last time.”

“Mike?” Isaac’s expression darkened as the name clicked. A sneer spread across his face. “If that’s the case, I’ll take care of him myself.”

“What are you going to do?” Kevin asked.

He’d already let Mike off the hook once. There was no chance he’d do that again.

Mike needed to learn his lesson—and regret not listening the first time.

Isaac replied, “I’ve got a plan. Don’t worry, Mr. Edwards. Bonnie won’t be affected.”

“Alright. He’s all yours,” Kevin said, handing him a copy of the surveillance footage. “I won’t interfere or ask questions.”

They exchanged a few polite words, then Kevin and Norah left.

He was genuinely curious how Isaac would handle it. Every prominent figure in the Laurin family had their own way of doing things. Kevin was eager to see whether Isaac would follow in his brothers’ footsteps—or carve his own path.

As they left the hospital, Kevin got an urgent call from his men: Pharaoh’s crew had kidnapped someone from the Laurin family.

This new development was a disaster.

Things weren’t even settled with Isaac yet, and now he was dragging the Laurin family into another mess.

Kevin hit the gas and headed out immediately.
