The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 562 Megan Langley Has Been Dead for a Long Time

Yvette suddenly burst into laughter. In fact, she laughed so hard that tears rolled down her cheeks. "Kenton, you really are something. But regardless, Grace won't be able to rest in peace.

"Megan has been dead for a long time. Her body's buried on Whitesand Isle. You and Grace will never see her again in this lifetime.

"Grace will die never knowing what Megan grew up to look like. She'll never know that her daughter died at the age of 23, her corpse dumped by me on Whitesand Isle, where a fisherman took pity on her and buried her.

Yvette continued laughing hysterically. "Last time, I told Grace that Megan might be watching her from anywhere in the world. Once a person dies, they become a soul. Can't a soul go wherever it pleases?"

"Yvette Jenkins!" Kenton roared hoarsely. He rushed forward and grabbed Yvette by the throat. "Is it true?"

"It's true," Yvette replied calmly, meeting Kenton's eyes, accepting it all without flinching.

"Megan died a long time ago. She wouldn't listen, you see. After the incident with Laura, she kept trying to escape. I had her caught, broke her legs, locked her in the basement, and starved her for three days and nights.

"Eventually, Megan gave in. She said she wanted to brush her teeth, wash her face, and take a shower. I had someone take her. While brushing her teeth, she used a toothbrush to stab her own throat when the guard wasn't watching. She committed suicide just like that."

"Hahahahaha! What a useless girl. She grew up under my roof, yet still clung to justice, going as far as turning on herself. What a joke she was!

"Grace had those genes, and somehow managed to give birth to such a decent daughter."

Kenton's fingers tightened uncontrollably. Yvette just stared at him, her smile twisted and triumphant.

"Kenton, Grace will never see Megan in this life," Yvette said weakly. "But she can die now because in the afterlife, she'll finally get to meet her daughter."

Kenton let out a hoarse scream, violently throwing Yvette aside.

"No, that's impossible. Megan can't be dead. She wouldn't have killed herself."

He clutched at his hair, voice rasping with anguish. "Yvette, how could you kill her?"
