Ch. 97: Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 97

Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 97 - Gwen pushed Jack in a wheelchair, and he looked furious.

"Dad, why are you here?" Norah asked, surprised.

Linda, who hoped to pressure Norah, was caught off guard by Jack’s arrival. Her face turned pale. "Brother," she muttered.

Jack glared at her. "How could I not come when you're bullying my daughter like this? I always thought you were just petty, Linda, but I didn’t expect you to be so cruel as to slander my daughter in front of the media!"

"Brother… no…" Linda stammered. "I didn’t slander her. I just said Norah wasn’t respectful to her aunt!"

Jack, unmoved, made it clear that he had enough: "Norah’s reputation means nothing to you—just a tool to get what you want! Since you want everyone to know, let's tell them all the immoral things your family has done!"

Linda panicked and began to cry again. "Brother, don’t do this! Our families are related. Your brother is on the verge of losing everything—how can you be so heartless?"

Gwen couldn’t stand her act any longer. "This is the price you pay for your actions. My daughter won’t take the blame for your lies!"

The mood shifted quickly. People began seeing Linda's family as leeches who constantly took advantage of Jack’s kindness, only to turn around and slander Norah.

Netizens were stunned:

[Wow, this is a complete reversal! The shameless ones are Linda and her daughter. I can’t believe I was fooled by them!]

[Same here! They acted weak, but it was all fake. I hope they face the consequences.]

[That Norah has been through so much, but she still stood strong. I really admire her courage. If it were me, I’d have broken down long ago!]

Seeing the shift in public opinion, Norah wasted no time. "I’ve called the police, and they’ll be here soon!" she announced.

Linda, now desperate, pleaded, "Norah, please don’t call the police! I know I was wrong—I shouldn’t have said those things in public. Please show mercy!"

Norah remained firm. "If you didn’t want this outcome, you should’ve thought before coming here. You never cared about how I would be affected by your lies. Don’t expect me to be lenient now."

Linda, realizing the severity of the situation, tried another excuse: "Someone told me to do it! When I came here, a woman said that if I didn’t lie, I wouldn’t even get to see you. I don’t know why I listened to her—it wasn’t my intention!"

"Who was it?" Norah asked, suspicious.

"I don’t know her name," Linda admitted. "She was just a young woman… I can’t believe I trusted a stranger!"

Linda began crying harder, realizing she’d been manipulated.

Sierra, unable to handle the backlash from netizens, broke down. "I’m ruined! No company will want me now. Please, cousin, help me! I won’t ask to intern at Edwards anymore, just help clear my name. I don’t want people to think I’m this horrible person!"

Both mother and daughter begged Norah for forgiveness.

Linda even offered to kneel. "Norah, please! If not for me, do it for your cousin!"

Norah stayed silent, knowing that being kind now would only hurt her in the long run.

Gwen intervened, pulling them back. "Don’t kneel. You did something wrong, and now you have to face the consequences."

Meanwhile, Lola, who had been enjoying the drama from the sidelines, quickly slipped away when she realized Norah had turned the situation around.

The reporter, feeling guilty for her harsh questions, apologized. "Ms. White, I’m sorry for earlier. I didn’t know the full story, and I’ve broadcast everything. I hope this has taught them a lesson."

The police arrived to take control of the situation.

"Ms. White," the reporter tried to continue, but Norah ignored her.

As security guards led Norah past a group of people holding eggs and vegetable leaves, they quickly spoke up. "We didn’t know what we were doing! Someone paid us to throw these."

Norah frowned. "Who paid you?"

"A young woman," one of them said. "She promised us each $100."

Norah was puzzled—it seemed the same person was behind both the egg-throwers and Linda’s lies. But who could it be? She hadn’t knowingly made any enemies recently.

Scanning the crowd, Norah stopped suddenly, her expression darkening.
