Ch. 94: Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 94

Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 94 - Lola was stunned and stepped back.

"Did you say Norah is Kevin's wife?"

She couldn’t believe it. How could this be possible? If Kevin was Norah’s husband, why didn’t anyone know? Why wasn’t it shared?

"Yes," Sierra replied, pulling her hand away. "Kevin is my brother-in-law!"

Lola still doubted it. "Are you serious? Norah is Kevin's secretary, not his wife!"

"Believe it or not," Linda said, "I saw it myself, heard it myself, and my niece is married to Kevin. He even visited Norah’s father."

Lola finally began to understand. "Wait, you just found out?"

Linda sighed. "I only learned recently. If I had known earlier, our family would’ve been wealthy long ago!"

The Edwards family paid Jack 10 million! For ordinary people, that’s a fortune.

"If we had known earlier, we could’ve shared in their wealth! At least, we could’ve moved to a better home."

Linda continued to complain. "The Edwards family is huge. They didn’t even throw a wedding! And we, as relatives, didn’t know a thing. I only found out because I bumped into them when I visited my brother. Otherwise, we’d never have known!"

She scowled, blaming Norah. "My niece is clever, but she’s afraid I’ll take advantage of her wealth. Her husband is so rich, one or two million is nothing to him."

Sierra, Norah’s cousin, agreed. "She never liked me. When I graduated and needed an internship, she wouldn’t even let me work for Edwards. I’m her sister, yet she’s always so guarded. It’s heartless."

Both of them continued complaining about Norah.

Linda held Sierra’s hand. "Don’t worry, it’s not Norah who runs things at Edwards. Kevin does, and I’m his elder! I haven’t even given him a gift yet. I’ll talk to him, and he’ll let you join the company."

"Mom, are you sure?" Sierra asked, pinning all her hopes on her mother.

Finding a job was hard for college students, especially since she didn’t graduate from a prestigious school. Competition was tough, and even top graduates struggled to find work. If she could get into Edwards, she would impress everyone.

Linda reassured her. "It’ll happen! I won’t leave today without results!"

Lola listened quietly, piecing everything together. So, they were Norah’s aunt and cousin. Their relationship with Norah wasn’t good, and they resented her. Norah and Kevin’s marriage was a secret. If it was a happy, proper marriage, why hide it? It must’ve been forced, with no love involved.

Lola knew Norah liked Kevin, which was why she married him. But Kevin didn’t love Norah—he loved Bianca. How could he love Norah when he already had someone else in his heart?

Lola, initially anxious, now felt more confident. Norah’s status as Mrs. Edwards didn’t mean much. No one even knew about it, so it didn’t matter. They would probably divorce in the future.

An idea struck Lola.

"Don’t worry," she said, smiling. "Even if you get into the Edwards family, you’ll be kicked out before long!"

Linda, unfazed, said, "I’m Kevin’s aunt! Who would dare throw me out?"

Lola pointed out, "Norah’s wary of you. She’s Kevin’s secretary and knows everything. Do you think she’ll let you stay?"

Linda paused, her confidence shaken. "You’re right. Norah was difficult at the hospital; she won’t be kind here."

"My niece has no respect for elders," Linda grumbled.

Sierra grew anxious. "What should we do?"

Linda glanced at the Edwards building, a towering symbol of wealth. Could her family really become this rich?

"I have an idea!" Lola said. "Are you willing to try it?"

Linda, hopeful, turned to her. "What’s your plan?"

Half an hour later, a commotion started at the Edwards’ office entrance.

Linda had tried speaking to the receptionist but couldn’t find Norah. Just as she suspected, Norah refused to see them.

Furious, Linda began causing a scene. "Norah is my niece! She doesn’t even visit her aunt or care about her uncle’s health. Now that she’s in a big company, she’s ignoring her own family!"

The receptionist, worried about the company’s reputation, tried to calm Linda. "Please, Auntie, sit down and have some water."

"Forget the water!" Linda shouted. "Get Norah out here, or we’re not leaving!"

Lola’s earlier warning echoed in her mind: if you approach Kevin directly, you’ll be kicked out. So, Linda decided to make a fuss and get something out of the situation. After all, if Norah refused to acknowledge her family, it would damage her reputation—and Edwards’ too.

"I understand, but Secretary White is busy," the receptionist explained.

"Busy or not, she can spare a minute to see her aunt!" Linda insisted. "Norah’s avoiding me because she doesn’t want me to ask for help. But her uncle was almost killed, and she didn’t lift a finger! A company can’t have someone so heartless. How can she manage a company if she’s cold to her own family? If people found out, it would ruin Edwards’ reputation!"
