Ch. 96: Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 96

Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 96 - Norah went downstairs and saw reporters interviewing people at the gate. Linda and the others were crying, recounting their side of the story in front of the cameras.

Sierra, with swollen eyes from crying, said to the camera, “Thank you all for your concern. With your support, I believe we’ll see justice soon!”

Norah, clearly unimpressed, walked over with a cold expression and asked bluntly, “Do you think by crying in public you can scare me or control me?”

The others turned to look at her as she approached without fear. Linda, reacting emotionally, pointed at Norah and cried out, “Norah, how could you be so heartless? I’m your aunt, and you’re so cold-blooded! We raised you with love, never treated you unfairly, and this is how you repay us?”

Sierra added, “Cousin, if you admit you’re part of this family, we can forgive the past. Our family can be whole again.”

A reporter turned to Norah, microphone in hand, and asked, “Ms. White, are these two really your cousin and aunt?”

Without hesitation, Norah replied calmly, “Yes.”

Immediately, comments started pouring in from the crowd and online:

“She admitted it, so it must be true. She seems so shameless!”“People should never forget their roots. She’s ungrateful!”“She owes her aunt for raising her, and now she’s turned her back on them!”“We should report this and get her fired from Edwards Group!”Norah ignored the comments and calmly clarified, “Yes, they are my aunt and cousin, but they are lying.”

Linda quickly retorted, “Lying? How dare you! Your uncle loved you the most, and when he needed help, you abandoned him! You’ve caused our family’s downfall!”

Norah responded sharply, “What exactly did I do to harm you? You borrowed money from me and couldn’t repay it. When I refused to give more, you resorted to tantrums and lies. If you’re going to make accusations, back them up with evidence, or face the legal consequences.”

Turning to the reporter, Norah said, “You’re not new to this job. You should know that allegations need proof, right?”

The reporter, looking uneasy, smiled and said, “Of course, we report the facts. If it’s not true, we won’t spread it.”

Norah nodded and continued, “Good. The truth is, they’re lying. My parents raised me, not them. It’s absurd to suggest otherwise.”

Linda tried to counter, “We helped your family when you were struggling! Now that you’re doing well, you don’t care about us! If you gave us even a little support, we’d be better off, but you don’t treat us as family anymore!”

Sierra chimed in, “Yes, my parents scraped together money to help with your education!”

Their lies were relentless.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd yelled, “You’re a heartless traitor!” and threw an egg at Norah, which landed in front of her.

Norah looked toward the gate and saw more people holding eggs and vegetables, ready to throw them at her. She quickly shielded herself as security rushed to intervene.

One of the agitators shouted, “She’s a homewrecker! She ruins families for money!”

Norah realized the situation was worse than she thought and that Linda had likely planned this attack, hoping to pressure her into giving in.

The reporter, sensing drama, asked again, “Ms. White, is it true? Have you broken up families for money?”

Although furious, Norah kept her composure. She knew that losing control would only fuel their lies.

“Stop those people,” Norah instructed the security guards, “and film everything. I’ll hold every person accountable for attacking me.”

The security guards quickly surrounded the group, and the mob grew quiet as they realized the situation was serious.

Norah turned back to the reporters and asked her aunt, “How much did you supposedly spend on my education? Do you have any records?”

Linda stammered, “Of course not! My love for you didn’t need a list!”

Sierra added, “Our mother treated you like her own daughter. How could she keep track of everything?”

Norah scoffed, “A daughter? You treat me like family and then slander me in front of reporters?”

Sierra weakly replied, “We’re desperate, that’s why.”

Norah pressed on, “You’re quick to accuse me, but I can just as easily say you’ve drained our family for years. Whenever you had problems, you came to us, and when we didn’t help, you spread lies. Two days ago, my father broke his leg, and today you’re here with reporters?”

Linda shouted, “That’s nonsense!”

Norah smirked. “Oh, so what you say is the truth, but what I say is nonsense?”

The crowd’s opinions started to shift as they realized there was no real evidence behind Linda’s claims.

Turning to the reporter, Norah added, “I’m not a public figure, but you’ve taken unauthorized photos and asked baseless questions, causing me emotional distress. I will hold you accountable too.”

The reporter, undeterred, pressed on, “Ms. White, you still haven’t answered. Have you ever been a mistress? Did you hurt your aunt and cousin?”

Just then, an angry voice called out from a distance, “My daughter has never done anything like that!”
