The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 552 Every Moment Was Pure Torment for Her

Marcus' demonic voice echoed in Yvette's ears as she was forced to stare wide- eyed at the television screen mounted on the wall.

After the footage of wild dogs digging up the Jenkins family's graves ended, the screen transitioned to the massive fire that had engulfed the Jenkins residence years ago.

Yvette had no idea where Marcus had obtained the surveillance footage, but it had been restored in high definition. The screen was filled with towering flames, and the inferno consumed everything in its path. Along with the visuals came the distant, gut-wrenching screams that seeped into her ears.

Tears streamed uncontrollably down Yvette's face.

Her chest ached so much that it felt like she was suffocating, and her eyes burned as if they were bleeding, yet she was powerless to move.

The overwhelming hatred radiating from Marcus suffocated the entire hospital room, making her tremble with instinctual fear.

Throughout it all, Natalie remained seated in her chair, watching Yvette with cold indifference.

Only when Marcus finally let go of Yvette did she hand him a disinfectant wipe.

"She has Umbrahex in her system. Don't touch her next time. Even though we took the antidote in advance, it's best not to take any risks," Natalie said flatly.

Marcus scoffed, wiping his hands. "Yeah, I got it."

"Let's go," Natalie instructed as she stood up, not sparing Yvette another glance. "It's time for Kenton to take over."

Without another word, Marcus followed her out of the hospital room.

The moment they left, Kenton walked back in.

His job was to stay by Yvette's side, making sure she fully experienced every agonizing second of her final days.

"Kenton, why didn't you just send me to prison?" Yvette asked, closing her eyes in despair. "You really played your role well, didn't you? Pretending to be my loyal dog for years while secretly collecting evidence.
