The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

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!"

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."
