Ch. 247: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life chapter 247

Chapter 247

Time was on Bianca's side. She was confident that one day, she would become the true mistress of the Edwards Mansion. No—she was already one step closer.

Bianca glanced at Kian, who had accompanied her.

Since Kian was Kevin's right-hand man, Bianca knew she had to stay on his good side. Flashing a friendly smile, she asked, “Mr. Kian, does Kevin stay here often?”

Kian typed his reply into his phone and showed it to her: "He’s been here a lot recently, but Mr. Edwards hasn’t visited in a few days."

Bianca’s expression tightened slightly, though she managed to keep her tone casual. “So Kevin isn’t returning to the Edwards mansion?”

It had been a while since Bianca last spoke with Siena. Between her rising stardom and hectic schedule, she hadn’t had the time to reply to Siena’s messages.

Kian, still neutral, replied, “Mr. Edwards occasionally goes back. But Madame doesn’t like being there, so he doesn’t go back as much either.”

Bianca’s fists clenched ever so slightly, but her face betrayed nothing. “Do you think Kevin will be stopping by soon?”

“I’m not sure,” Kian said, his tone steady. “Mr. Edwards has been busy with work. If anything, he’ll likely visit Madame first.”

Kian’s words hit Bianca like a cold slap. It was clear whose side he was on. Years of loyalty to Kevin and Norah meant Kian wasn’t easily swayed, no matter how much Bianca tried. But Bianca kept her composure. She wasn’t ready to make an enemy of him—at least, not yet.

With a cool smile, she turned to Kian and said, “If there’s nothing else, you can leave. I don’t need any assistance here.”

Kian didn’t argue. He placed Bianca’s luggage down and left without another word.

Once he was gone, Bianca called for a maid. “Help me bring my things upstairs.”

The maid nodded and carried her bags. As they reached the second floor, Bianca paused outside a door and pointed. “I want to stay in this room.”

The maid froze, her voice hesitant but firm. “That’s the master bedroom, Miss. It belongs to Mr. Edwards and Madame. Guests stay in the guest room.”

Bianca’s jaw tightened, but she quickly covered her frustration with a forced smile. “It’s not like they’ve been here recently.”

She reluctantly followed the maid to the guest room, though the smaller space left her feeling cramped and irritated. The master bedroom was what she truly wanted—it symbolized the status she craved. One day, it would be hers.

After unpacking, Bianca sent a message to Siena.

Siena, who had been relaxing with a face mask, immediately sat upright when she saw the text. She called Bianca right away, but the call went unanswered. Confused, Siena received another message: “I can’t answer right now. It’s not convenient.”

Siena quickly texted back: “Are you busy? Bianca, you’re such a big star now—I’m so proud of you!”

Bianca responded, “Thank you, Aunt. I’m staying at the Edwards Mansion now. I have some free time; I’d love to see you soon.”

Siena’s excitement bubbled over. “How about now? I can come to you right away!”

Bianca smirked at the response. Siena was predictable. She loved to fawn over her and wouldn’t pass up an opportunity to visit. Bianca leaned back, satisfied. She would simply wait for Siena to arrive.

But as she waited, her curiosity got the better of her. Bianca wandered to the master bedroom, the one she was denied earlier. Quietly, she opened the door and stepped inside.

The room had clearly been unused for some time. Bianca scanned the space before heading to the closet. Her eyes lit up when she found several women’s pajamas still in their packaging. Among them were a few sexy, lacy nightgowns. She held one up to herself and twirled in front of the mirror, imagining Kevin’s reaction if he saw her in it.

She let out a small laugh, returning the pajamas to the closet. Her time would come. She left the master bedroom, closing the door behind her just as Siena arrived.

Siena’s voice echoed through the house. “Bianca! Where are you?”

The maid quickly approached. “Ms. Lynch is upstairs, ma’am. But she has trouble hearing, so you might need to go up to her.”

“Trouble hearing?” Siena’s face twisted in alarm. Without waiting for further explanation, she rushed upstairs and burst into the guest room. “Bianca!”

Bianca had her back turned, unaware of Siena’s entrance.

Seeing this, Siena hurried over and tapped Bianca’s shoulder. “Bianca, it’s me!”

Bianca turned around slowly, her face pale and weary. “Auntie.”

Siena’s heart broke at the sight of Bianca’s haggard appearance. “What’s going on? Why can’t you hear? Who did this to you?” Tears welled in Siena’s eyes as she spoke.

Bianca forced a faint smile, trying to read Siena’s lips. “Auntie, I’m fine... I’ve just been a little sick.”

“Sick?!” Siena scribbled a note on her phone and showed it to Bianca. “I don’t believe it. Someone must have done this to you! Was it Norah? Or someone jealous of your success?”

At the mention of Norah’s name, Bianca’s tears spilled over. She buried her face in Siena’s shoulder. “Auntie, please don’t ask anymore.”

Siena, however, was fuming. “So it’s true, then? Is Bonnie behind this?!” Her anger surged. “If that woman laid a finger on you, I’ll make her pay!”

“Auntie, please don’t!” Bianca pleaded, gripping Siena’s arm tightly. “Don’t stir up trouble.”

But Siena wouldn’t be dissuaded. Her mind was already set. She grabbed her phone and dialed Bonnie’s number.

Bonnie, in the middle of her meal, picked up the call with mild irritation. Before she could speak, Siena’s venomous voice rang out: “Bonnie, you’ve gone too far this time! Why would you take out your anger on Bianca? What did she ever do to you?”
