Ch. 107: Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 107

Chapter 107

Linda wasn't ready to let Norah go. She grabbed Norah with a wild look in her eyes.

"I always knew you were nothing but trouble," Linda screamed. "Without you, we would be fine. You're a heartless, poisonous woman, Norah! I’ll kill you if it’s the last thing I do!"

She yanked at Norah's hair, and Norah instinctively tried to pull away, pushing Linda off. In the struggle, Linda's long nails scratched Norah's cheek, leaving deep marks.

One of the police officers stepped in and said, "Ma'am, this is a police station. Your actions could get you detained."

Linda, blinded by rage, shouted, "Detain me if you want! As long as I can take her down with me, I'll die happy! Even if I have to drag her to hell with me!"

The officers moved quickly to restrain Linda, pinning her to the ground as she continued to glare venomously at Norah.

Sierra's face went pale, and she began to cry. "Mom, please stop! What am I supposed to do if you get detained?" She dropped to her knees in front of Norah, pleading, "Cousin, please forgive us. I swear, we'll never trouble you again."

Norah touched her scratched cheek, feeling the sting, but her resolve didn't waver. She met Sierra's eyes with a cold stare, making it clear she wouldn't be swayed by their pleas.

As Linda was led away, still cursing Norah, Sierra chased after her, but it was too late. Linda was handcuffed and taken away.

Back at the Edwards household, Bianca returned to a warm welcome from Siena.

"Bianca, you're back!" Siena said, smiling. "You look like you've lost some weight. Let me cook you something nice to eat."

"Auntie," Bianca replied with a smile, "It's just the nature of my job to stay slim. I promise I'm healthy, so don't worry."

Siena fussed over her. "You work too hard, Bianca. When you marry Kevin, you should just stay home with me. Forget about being an artist."

"Thank you, Auntie, but I love my job," Bianca said with a polite smile. Then, her expression turned curious. "Auntie, is that girl you mentioned still living here?"

"Yes, she’s here," Siena answered. "But don’t worry, she’s no threat to you. I want you to be my daughter-in-law. The girl’s just here to have Kevin’s baby, and once the child is born, we’ll take care of the baby, and she’ll be gone."

Bianca's eyes widened in surprise. "Kevin has a child with another woman?"

Siena nodded. "Yes, but it's nothing to worry about. Once the baby is born, the child will be yours to raise."

Bianca's eyes gleamed with satisfaction. Knowing that Kevin's heart wasn't entirely with Norah gave her confidence that her position was secure.

"Auntie, you're always so good to me," Bianca said, holding Siena's hand with a smile. "Let’s go inside."

As they entered the living room, Lola appeared and recognized Bianca immediately.

"It's you," Lola said, her expression darkening.

Bianca gave a small smile of recognition. "Oh, I remember you. From the hospital, right?"

Lola's unease was evident as she looked from Bianca to Siena. "Auntie, is this… Brother Kevin's first love?"

Bianca liked the sound of that title and casually responded, "Yes, that's me. And you must be Lola, the one expecting Kevin's baby."

Lola’s hand instinctively moved to her stomach, a look of fear crossing her face.

Bianca gave her a reassuring smile. "Don’t worry. Since it’s Kevin’s child, we’ll take good care of both you and the baby."

Lola asked nervously, "You really mean that?"

"Of course," Bianca replied gently. "You can trust Aunt Siena, can’t you? She’s going to treat that baby like her own grandchild."

Despite their kind words, Lola couldn't shake her anxiety. She made an excuse to leave, "Auntie, I'm feeling a bit tired. I’ll go rest now."

Siena nodded, not noticing Lola's discomfort. "Alright, go get some rest."

As Lola headed upstairs, Bianca watched her go with a calculating expression. "She’s young and seems to have a slight resemblance to me," she commented.

Siena smiled knowingly. "Kevin was drunk that night, and in his daze, he called out your name. That’s probably why he ended up with her. He still hasn’t forgotten you, Bianca."

Bianca's eyes sparkled with triumph. "Really? That’s good to know. I should have come back sooner."

Siena bustled off to the kitchen, leaving Bianca to her thoughts. She was delighted that everything seemed to be aligning in her favor.

Upstairs, Cleo expressed her concern. "Ms. Lynch, are you really okay with that woman Lola having Mr. Edwards’ child? What if he ends up marrying her?"

Bianca's smile turned icy. "Lola has no status, no power, and no background. She’ll never be a real threat to me. Her only value is carrying that child."

"But why did you act so supportive in front of Mrs. Edwards?" Cleo asked, confused.

"Simple," Bianca replied, her eyes glinting with a hidden plan. "If I don’t show kindness, Lola won’t let down her guard. Once I gain her trust, she’ll do whatever I need her to. It’s all about using her as a pawn in this game."
