The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus)

It was the execution day for Yvette, Kenton, and Lina a week later.

Early that morning, the authorities publicly announced the exact time and location of the execution. Those who wished to witness it were given specific routes and guidelines to reach the designated site.

During this time, Laura and Connie met up with Marcus and Natalie. Since Laura had spent most of the past few years confined indoors due to her illness, Natalie and Marcus took this opportunity to show her around Amberton.

In truth, it wasn't just to keep Laura company. It was also to give her and Marcus more time together.

Laura's presence was timely. Marcus had been struggling with grief. Having his mother by his side, even just for a while, brought him some comfort.

That morning, they all got up early. Connie had prepared rotten eggs and spoiled vegetables the day before, ready to throw at Yvette.

Laura wore a bright red dress, while Connie styled her hair and did her makeup. She was already breathtakingly beautiful, but with a little extra effort, she looked even more stunning.

Natalie stared at Laura for a long moment before shifting her gaze to Marcus. At that moment, she finally understood why Marcus' looks had always left her in awe.

With a mother this extraordinarily beautiful and a father as handsome as Wesley, there was no way their child wouldn't be striking.

"Nat, Marcus... Are you sure this outfit is okay?" Laura had worn white for years. She felt both dazzling and a little self-conscious wearing such a bold color after such a long time.

"Of course it is!" Natalie nodded enthusiastically. "Laura, I have so many gorgeous dresses. When we get back to Dithoria City, I'll give them all to you!"noveldrama

Most mothers-in-law loved dressing up their daughters-in-law, but Natalie only wanted to make her mother-in-law look as beautiful as possible.

"Huh?" Laura was momentarily stunned. She turned to Marcus, who was already looking at her.

His dark, inky eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

"Marcus, what's wrong?" Seeing his red-rimmed eyes, Laura immediately panicked. "Are you feeling unwell? Tell me, and I'll take you to the hospital."

She still treated Marcus as a child, forgetting that he had long since grown into a man-an exceptional one, at that.

"Mom." Marcus reached out and pulled her into an embrace. "If it weren't for those monsters, you would have been living beautifully by my side all these years.

"Let's go to the execution. From now on, Nat and I will make sure you're always beautiful and happy. Alright?"

Hearing his sudden outpouring of emotion, Laura's eyes reddened. She wrapped her arms around him, her voice choked with emotion. "Okay. I'll listen to you and Nat."

If being happy and well-dressed would bring joy to her son and daughter-in-law, then she was more than willing to go along with it.

"Alright, let's go," Natalie said from the side. "If we don't hurry, we might not get a good spot."

"Mom, let's go."

"Yes, okay."

They left the hotel and followed the designated route, arriving quickly at the execution site-Scarlet Hill.

Scarlet Hill was the central hub of criminal operations and the largest base for the syndicate. Executing Yvette and the others there was the most fitting choice.

That day, Scarlet Hill was as crowded as ever, though the base of the mountain had been cleared out in preparation.

When the prisoner transport truck arrived, Yvette, Kenton, and Lina were led out with their hands and feet shackled. They were taken to the base of the mountain, where an angry crowd awaited.

As soon as an official blew the whistle, the spectators began hurling rotten eggs, spoiled vegetables, and even filthy socks at the condemned criminals.

"Kill them! Kill them! Kill them!"

"Shoot them! Shoot them! Shoot them!"

"Kill them! Kill them! Kill them!"

"Shoot them! Shoot them! Shoot them!"

The crowd's deafening chants echoed through the air, and their rage nearly shook the entire mountain.

The executioners stood quietly, waiting for the official time. If it weren't for protocol, even they would have joined in throwing the rotten eggs.

Marcus and Natalie stood with Laura and Connie in a prime viewing spot. Connie gripped her stash of rotten eggs and relentlessly pelted them at the criminals.

"Die! Die! Die!" She cursed with every throw, her voice filled with hatred.

Being shot to death wouldn't do justice for people like them. They deserved to rot in the deepest pits of hell.

Yvette, who had been diagnosed with cancer once thought she would pass away on her own terms, free from consequences. She never.

imagined that her finale neto

would be this humiliating, that she would die in disgrace and be

despised by all.

Kenton, on the other hand, was eerily calm. He had accepted his fate from the very beginning.

As long as he could drag Yvette down with him, as long as he could avenge the Langley family, it was all worth it.

Kneeling on the ground, he groveled repeatedly to the crowd, silently repenting.

Minute by minute, time passed. Soon, the three of them were drenched, their bodies reeking from the filth thrown at them.

"Time's up."

At the command, the crowd immediately stopped throwing.

A sudden, heavy silence fell over the scene. No one spoke, but every pair of eyes

remained fixed on Yvette, Kenton, and Lina.

Their criminal network had been

vast, involving far more than just the three of them. The others had been sentenced according to their crimes, many facing harsh penalties. Some of them would live to see another day, given a chance at redemption. Cóntent

But the journey of Yvette, Kenton, and Lina ended here.

"Commence execution."

At the order, the executioners raised their pistols. They aimed, loaded their

weapons, and pulled the triggers.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three gunshots rang out. All three criminals collapsed to the ground.

A wave of applause erupted from the crowd.

"Finally! The monsters are dead!"

"Justice is served! Justice is served!"

The spectators cheered, and their voices were filled with satisfaction and relief.

Standing on a raised platform

nearby, Marcus and Natalie held

hands as they watched Yvette's

lifeless body. Then, almost

instinctively, their gazes shifted to a

certain spot in the crowd.

There, a familiar figure stood. It was someone who looked strikingly like Sheldon.

"Finally. They're dead."

Laura had been holding her breath the whole time. When she saw the executioners step forward to confirm the deaths, she finally exhaled in relief.

"They're finally gone. They can't hurt anyone ever again.

"This is justice. This is right."
