Ch. 62: Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 62

Chapter 62

Lola Gill had long hair and appeared delicate, frail, and shy. She had a similar build but looked a lot like Bianca—pure and innocent—the kind of girl men couldn't resist.

The lady boss introduced her to Norah, saying, "This is our new girl. She's beautiful, still in training, and has never worked before. She's from the countryside, her mother is sick back home, and she desperately needs money. Her background is spotless."

Norah thought she was perfect.

She was young, beautiful, and would easily trigger a man’s protective instincts.

She seemed like the type Kevin would like.

"She's the one," Norah decided.

Lola, looking scared and a bit flustered, stammered, "What do you want? I just got here. I'm here to sell my art, not my body. I won't sell my body."

Norah understood her fear and didn't push her. She spoke gently, "I just need a favor. I'll pay you. I won't force you, but you can contact me if you're interested."

She handed Lola a business card.

Lola hesitantly glanced at it. Though she didn’t understand much, she could still read.

Worried that this might not work out, Norah told the lady boss, "Please keep looking for someone else. I’ll make sure you're well compensated. I need to find this person quickly."

The lady boss, always motivated by money, smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ms. White. I have plenty of resources. I can find you ten or eight girls like this. You can choose when the time comes."

Norah nodded and walked out.

Lola held the business card so tightly that her knuckles turned white. She hesitated, conflicted. As Norah was about to leave, she called out, "Wait!"

Norah stopped and turned around. Lola bit her lip so hard it almost bled: "How much will you pay me?"

She couldn't wait any longer. Her family needed money.

Her mother was waiting for medical expenses, and she had two younger brothers to support.

The burden was on her.

She didn't know when she'd start making money. She had no education, no experience, and feared being cheated in the big city.

She could tell the woman in front of her was wealthy.

If she agreed, she could earn good money and send it back to her mother.

Norah turned around and asked, "How old are you?"

"Twenty," Lola said, her face pale.

Norah looked at her. Though her face was thin, her eyes were bright and pitiful, and she was pretty: "If you're willing, your mother's medical expenses will be covered."

Lola's eyes lit up with hope: "Really?"

Norah: "Yes, I’m not lying to you."

Lola knew there were many beautiful girls in this nightclub. She didn’t know anything, couldn’t compete with them, and might not make enough money.

But if she could save her mother, she’d definitely get a lot of money.

She wasn’t naive; she knew this opportunity was better than working at the nightclub.

If she didn’t agree now, and Norah found someone else, she’d miss her chance.

She couldn’t afford to hesitate.

Lola nodded and gathered her courage: "Okay, I’m willing, as long as you pay me."

Norah thought it would take days to find the right person. But this was beyond her expectations.

As they left the nightclub, Gloria had doubts and asked, "Are you sure about this? Aren’t you afraid Kevin will fall for this girl?"

"This girl is young and beautiful. How could any man resist that kind of temptation?"

Gloria was worried. No man was entirely immune to lust. Seeing such a young girl, even the most disciplined would feel tempted.

But Norah had no other options.

"I have no choice." Norah forced a smile: "Even if this happens, I have to do it. Otherwise, I’ll regret not making this decision today."

She couldn’t take risks with the child.

Gloria didn’t fully understand her motives, but she knew Norah must have her reasons.

She didn’t pry.

If Norah wanted to share, she would.

Gloria had only seen them reconcile for a few days, and now this situation arose. It had to be serious.

She felt sorry for Norah.

If it weren’t for Kevin, Norah would have been happy.

Gloria just reminded her: "Be careful, not just with Kevin, but with the girl too. She seems harmless, but who knows if she has other intentions."

Norah thought about how they were divorced at the time.

They wouldn’t cross paths again, and what happened next wouldn’t concern her.

Norah appreciated Gloria’s unconditional support and felt grateful. She hugged Gloria, surprising her, who then responded, "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing, I just think you’re so kind."

"I’ve always been kind to you, and you’ve been kind to me. I started from scratch and got where I am today thanks to your help." Gloria was also grateful to Norah. They supported each other and wished each other the best.

When she had just graduated, Gloria was still a young girl with big dreams.

Someone gave her hope, made her believe she could achieve her ambitions, but he turned out to be a pervert in his fifties.

He promised to make her famous, but in reality, he just wanted to take advantage of her under the guise of being a senior.

She remembered the day her dream shattered. She felt everything was impossible, and it was too hard to get ahead.

She wanted to give up and sat on the street crying for hours.

Finally, Norah found her.

At that time, Norah was by Kevin’s side, relying on her own abilities.

She confronted the man directly, unafraid of the scene, and exposed his scandals, ruining his reputation in the industry. She told Gloria, "If you love something, don’t give up. You’ll get through it."

Gloria listened to Norah and didn’t give up, leading to her success today.

Norah was her lucky star.

She was someone she would cherish for life.

Norah reflected on their years together. At first, they weren’t the best of friends. They didn’t talk much about life or their plans.

But in the end, they became close friends, thanks to fate.

Norah smiled and said, "Then when I have a child in the future, I’ll make sure he calls you his godmother!"

"Okay, if I have a child, I’ll make sure he calls you his godmother too. And if yours is a boy and mine is a girl, we can arrange a marriage!" Gloria joked.

Norah shook her head, laughing, "No, they should be free to fall in love. We shouldn’t bind them from childhood. What if they don’t like each other?"

Gloria thought for a moment and agreed, "That’s true."
