Ch. 95: Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 95

Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 95 - The receptionist always thought Norah was a kind and non-competitive person, so she found it hard to believe what was being said. But Linda was making a scene and was determined to get what she wanted. The receptionist considered calling security to remove them, but then noticed a car with a reporter's logo driving by and sanitation workers near the entrance. If the reporters caught wind of this, it could be bad for the company’s image, so she hesitated.

Linda, noticing the receptionist's concern, spotted the reporters as well. Seizing the opportunity, she stopped making a fuss inside and headed toward the entrance.

"Stop them!" the receptionist urgently instructed the security guards, sensing trouble.

Linda, seeing the guards approach, accused them: "What are you trying to do? Is this Norah's doing? Are you trying to silence me?" Sierra, seeing her mother being grabbed, began yelling at the top of her voice, "Help! They’re attacking us!"

The reporters outside were startled and quickly turned their attention to the commotion at the Edwards' building. Realizing it could be big news, they hurried over, but the security guards blocked their way.

Sierra rushed to the reporters and exclaimed into their microphone, "We are relatives of Norah, the secretary of this company. She has a huge scandal!"

The mention of a scandal got the reporters excited. They recognized Norah as Kevin’s secretary and thought this could be their chance to uncover a big story about the Edwards family.

"Take your time, miss. We're here to listen and report the truth," one of the female reporters said, trying to calm Sierra down.

Linda, realizing she had the reporters' attention, dropped to the ground, playing the victim: "They’re beating us! Norah ordered her security guards to attack us. She’s abusing her power because she’s Mr. Edwards' secretary. I’m her aunt, and this is how she treats me! Since graduating, she’s forgotten all the help we gave her."

The receptionist was panicking now. The situation was being live-streamed, and the company’s image was at stake. She quickly called for assistance.

The female reporter, holding the microphone, encouraged Linda to continue: "Auntie, we’re live now. You can share your story with everyone watching."

Linda shook off the security guard’s hand, shouting, "Didn’t you hear? We’re live! Let me go!"

Seeing all the cameras pointed at her, the security guard backed off. Linda then tearfully addressed the reporter: "You have to help us!"

Outside, Lola, watching the scene, smirked. Things were going better than she had planned. With the reporters involved, Norah’s image could be severely damaged, which might turn Kevin against her. Even if Norah was his wife, Kevin would probably look down on her now.

In the office, Norah had just stepped out of the bathroom when Tessa rushed in, looking flustered. "Ms. White, something’s wrong!"

"What's happened?" Norah asked, calm but curious.

"It's about your aunt and cousin."

At the mention of her relatives, Norah’s expression darkened. She knew trouble was coming. Tessa quickly showed her the live stream on her phone. Her aunt and cousin were playing victims on camera, claiming they had spent all their money to send Norah to college, only for her to turn her back on them. They painted Norah as an ungrateful, cold-hearted person, saying she had never helped them, despite their financial struggles.

Online, the live broadcast was drawing a flood of comments:

"How can someone be so heartless in this day and age?"

"Look at the poor mother and daughter. They seem to be struggling while Norah lives a luxurious life. She even wore a million-dollar dress at the Edwards charity event!"

"I went to school with Norah. Rumor has it she only got her job because she sleeps with men."

"She’s a disgrace. If she can do this to her own family, imagine what she’s like with others!"

Tessa was furious. "This is ridiculous! These people just jump to conclusions without knowing the truth. Why are they calling you a vase, just because you’re beautiful?"

Despite the barrage of hateful comments, Norah remained calm. She wasn’t one to let public opinion get to her, but she also wasn’t going to let falsehoods tarnish her name.

"I’m going down there," Norah said firmly.

Tessa was worried. "Ms. White, if you go down now, you’ll be photographed. Are you sure it won’t make things worse?"

Norah shook her head. "The damage has already been done. If we let them continue, it’ll only hurt the company’s reputation more. I need to handle this myself and set the record straight."
