The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Kenton's vocal cords were already damaged, so his voice was raspy and unpleasant. When he laughed maniacally, it became even more grating.

Yvette reached out and covered her ears. She didn't want to hear that laughter.

Outside the hospital room, Sheldon hadn't gone far. He took out his phone and opened a photo of Charles.

As he stared at it, tears began to fall.

He had followed Charles his whole life and had long since come to see him as his closest family member.

Every day, he had done everything he could to serve Charles with care, hoping he could live a long life. Even if Charles couldn't live a long life, he shouldn't have left the world like this.

"Mr. Holden Senior," Sheldon choked. "There are some things Mr. Holden and Ms. Walker can't do but I can." His voice trembled. "I've already had Kenton contact Selena. That old psycho, Yvette, needs someone like Selena to deal with her.

"Mr. Holden Senior, you gave everything to the Jenkins family, and this is how they repay you. I just can't stomach it-I really can't." He wiped his face. "I lied to Mr. Holden and Ms. Walker. They won't be coming to the hospital for a while.

"Kenton and I will hand Yvette over to Selena and her parents. Mr. Holden Senior, once I've gotten your revenge, I'll join you up there."

Sheldon wiped away his tears. In the next instant, his expression turned steely again. Sometimes, it took evil to deal with evil. Yvette played an innocent, but back when Selena was just a baby, wasn't she innocent too?

Selena might be cruel, but if she hadn't been swapped at birth, if she had grown up loved by her real parents, she wouldn't have suffered like she did. Yvette wasn't a saint when Selena was just an infant.

Sheldon left the hospital, pulled out a different photo, and dialed for Selena. "Selena, where are you three now?"

"Three more hours, and we'll be in Dithoria," Selena's voice came through. "Sheldon, are you really sure you want to hand over that old hag Yvette to me and my parents?"

"Absolutely." Sheldon's voice gave away no emotion. "Yvette has controlled Grace all these years. You being taken and sold by a nurse-that was on her orders. Glving her to you is only fair."

"Thanks, Sheldon." Selena chuckled. "But we're coming in secretly, so please don't let Natalie or Marcus know."

"Don't worry. I won't."
