The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

As Laura spoke, her eyes turned red, and she wiped away her tears, unable to stop herself from crying.

"Laura, don't cry." Natalie sighed. Now that the execution was over, it was time for them to leave.

"Marcus, let's take Laura back."

Marcus remained indifferent the entire time, humming his response. His gaze was cold and sharp when he looked at the three criminals. Only after they fell to the ground and were declared dead did his expression change slightly.

Natalie had been quietly observing him. Yvette and Lina were both dead. Kenton, Yvette's most capable subordinate and the one who had done the most dirty work, was also dead.

Grace and Kenton were both gone for good, leaving the Langley family with no one left.

Victor was brought up by Grace but was not her biological son. They had already cut familial ties after Grace tried to have Selena sold.

Now, Victor and his family of three just wanted to live a stable life and work hard at the hospital to atone for their past sins.

Kenton's body was collected by Julie, while Charlene came to claim Yvette's and Lina's bodies.

"Mom, let's go."

Marcus withdrew his icy gaze, wrapping an arm around the sobbing Laura while intertwining his fingers with Natalie's.

After stepping down from the viewing platform, they got into the car and left.

On the way back, Natalie comforted Laura, and she gradually stopped crying. Marcus remained silent, but his mood was somber.

Natalie wasn't one to talk much either, so the car quickly fell into a heavy silence.

In the end, it was Connie who couldn't take it anymore and broke the tension. "Laura, do you have any other plans besides opening a flower shop when you return to Dithoria City?"

"I want to visit Father's grave first." Laura's voice was soft. "I didn't even get to attend his funeral when he passed away. I regret it so much.

"He was very kind to me when he was alive. Not being able to fulfill my duties as his daughter-in-law is my greatest regret."

Connie carefully glanced at Marcus, who was still silent. "Laura, don't blame yourself. It wasn't your fault."

"I know, but I still carry the regret."

Natalie spoke up at this moment. "Laura, Grandpa Charles left behind some words before he passed. He mentioned you."
