Ch. 578: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 578

Chapter 578

After spending the night at the hospital with Kevin, Norah went downstairs to grab breakfast. Just as she stepped outside, she spotted Maleah rushing into the inpatient department.

Norah smirked and didn’t pay her much attention.

“Norah.”

Not wanting to be seen, Norah walked right up to her and gave her a once-over.

“What’s the matter? Surprised I’m still in one piece?”

As they got closer, Norah noticed the red marks on Maleah’s face, clearly from a beating. She couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“What are you laughing at? You’re the one who told me about Maia, right? You trying to ruin my family?”

Norah was taken aback. She hadn’t expected Maleah to put it together so quickly.

She nodded calmly and admitted, “Yeah, I told you. Compared to what you did to me, I was being merciful.”

Furious, Maleah shouted, “I’m gonna fight you!”

She lunged, but Norah dodged easily.

Maleah lost her balance and slammed into the consultation desk, knocking things to the floor. The nurses nearby immediately swarmed in.

One nurse held Maleah back, while another approached Norah.

“Mrs. Edwards, are you alright?” the nurse asked with concern.

Norah nodded and stepped closer to Maleah, eyeing her up and down. “You shouldn’t be mad at me. You should be thanking me.”

“Thank you? For what? If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have found out my husband had another woman. I wouldn’t have lost control and caused a scene. He wouldn’t be divorcing me. You ruined everything!”

Norah sighed. “No good deed goes unpunished, huh?”

Knowing the nurses wouldn’t let Maleah get close again, Norah whistled and strolled out of the hospital, leaving Maleah shrieking in frustration.

Later, Norah found out what had happened: Maleah had confronted Maia and hit her in the stomach. Maia was now in the hospital, trying to save the baby.

Maleah had given birth to a daughter, but her husband always wanted a son. Word was, Maia was pregnant with one.

Her husband had always favored Maia, but after the blow-up, he had no choice but to choose. Naturally, he picked Maia.

Norah felt extremely satisfied. After taking Kevin home, she even went shopping for groceries and cooked for him herself.

But on her way out of the supermarket, she noticed someone following her. So she led them into a quiet alley.

When she reached the end, she turned around and looked at the two men tailing her with a smirk. “Let me guess—Maleah sent you?”

“Yeah,” one man said, grinning. “She said if we got some nudes of you, she’d throw in a fifty grand bonus.”

“Come on, sweetheart,” the other added. “It’s just a little loss. Help us out, yeah?”

Just then, a couple more guys showed up.

Norah didn’t flinch. She sidestepped, grabbed one guy, and slammed him into the wall, then spun around and kicked another away.

“Damn, no wonder she told us to be careful. This chick’s tough!”

The two pulled out knives, smiling menacingly.

Norah picked up a stick nearby and calmly asked, “Did your dear Ms. Lalonde tell you who’d pay your hospital bills if I crushed you?”

“You’re cocky. I like that,” one of them growled as they charged again.

Norah handled them with ease. A few minutes later, both were moaning on the ground, clutching their legs. She grabbed their knives, kicked them once each for good measure, and walked out of the alley.

Just ahead, a car stopped. Maleah stepped out with two bodyguards and blocked her path.

“Get her!” she shouted.

The two men moved toward Norah, who didn’t budge.

Before they could lay a hand on her, a police car pulled up. Two officers jumped out and arrested the men.

“I-I don’t know them,” Maleah stammered. “I was just passing by.”

But Norah had already called the police earlier, and everything the attackers had said was caught on record. The cops didn’t even bother listening to Maleah’s excuses—they hauled her off, too.

“Mrs. Edwards, are you okay?” one officer asked.

Maleah froze.

She stared at Norah in shock. “You’re Kevin’s wife?”

Norah smiled. “What, I don’t look the part?”

Maleah was crushed. If she’d known Norah was the president’s wife, she never would've messed with her. Who was she, really? Just a nobody.

Norah felt even more triumphant. That night, Kevin brought home a giant cake. When he asked about it, she just smiled and said she had a craving.

Kevin didn’t call her out—he went along with the act. The police had already briefed him earlier.

As for Maleah and the others, the law would handle them.

After dinner, Norah cut up some fruit and went into the study. Spotting a contract, she asked, “Didn’t you decide not to work with Mr. Jacob? Why the change of heart?”

Kevin handed her some papers. “Isaac said that batch of medicinal herbs Jacob traded is still missing. He asked me to reach out and see if we can trace it.”

He added, “I thought about it. The timing lines up with the last attack on your dad. That time, the enemy had more men than expected. If I’m right—”

“You think they bought the herbs.”

Kevin nodded, and Norah’s eyes widened.

If that was true, Mr. Jacob was going to pay dearly.

“Did you tell my dad?”

She didn’t want Pharaoh to find out just yet—he’d likely throw Jacob in jail on the spot. Or worse.

Kevin smiled. “Relax. I know how he is. I won’t say anything until we’re sure.”

“Thank you. For always thinking of me.”

Norah hugged him from behind. “I know you’ve been through a lot lately, and you’re still trying to protect me. I really appreciate it.”

Kevin pulled her into his lap and frowned. “There’s one more thing. You’ll need to pick up Cooper tomorrow. Auntie said that when she picked him up today, a strange woman came up to him. She left when Auntie appeared.”

That was all Norah needed to hear. She nodded right away.

Cooper was her son—no one was getting close to him.

The next day, Norah arrived at school early.

About half an hour before school let out, a black SUV parked across from the gates. A flashy-looking woman got out and walked straight to the entrance.

She chatted with the security guard like they knew each other, and he even poured her tea.

That morning, Norah had asked Cooper about the woman. He said she only spoke to him—not to any other kids—and it was the first time they met.

None of this made sense.

Then the school bell rang, and a group of kids came out, singing as they walked hand-in-hand behind their teacher.
