Chapter 156
The night sky was dotted with stars, and the air was cool. Neon lights flickered, and the scent of medicine hung heavily in
the air.
Up on the hospital rooftop. Dennis slowly opened his eyes.
In a daze, he saw a tall and slim figure standing ahead, cloaked in darkness.
Dennis thought he was dreaming, but a cool breeze blew by, waking him up immediately
His eyes widened in shock.
He wondered. ‘Should I be in the ward? Where is this place? This shouldn’t be a dream
Dennis asked in a trembling voice, “Who Who are you? Why did you bring me here? Where are the police? Where are the officers who were watching over me?”
As the person turned around. Dennis couldn’t believe his eyes.
He asked. “You Are you Yvette?”
This was the first time Dennis had seen Yvette in person. Before he had only seen her in pictures
Dennis was utterly shocked.
Yvette stood there in all black, expressionless, like a merciless killer.
Her deep-set eyes were devoid of emotion, tinged with a hint of redness.
The upward tilt of her eyes conveyed a sense of defiance and a hint of wildness.
With a faint smirk, Yvette walked unhurriedly towards Dennis, hands in her pockets.
Her pressure made Dennis instinctively fearful, causing him to step back.
The face in front of him was exactly the same as Lilian’s. He had once sent Lilian to the lab personally.
Dennis pondered, ‘No… They’re not the same. Lilian would never have eyes like those of a beast
Dennis, who was quite old now, for the first time felt an unexplainable fear facing someone
Dennis asked, “What do you want? Don’t come any closer! What sneaky trick did you use to bring me here? Did you bribe the police? This is illegal! You know it, right?”
Hearing these words, Yvette paused, glancing at Dennis, who was lying on the ground.
Dennis thought Yvette was scared and gained a bit of his courage back.
He said angrily. “If you send me back now, I can pretend none of this ever happened.”
Yvette raised her eyes slightly.
Her face remained expressionless
She pursed her lips and smirked. Then, in the silent dark of the night, she sneered, the sound oddly out of place.
Yvette walked up to Dennis, looking down at him as he lay on the ground weakly.

Her gaze was calm, and her delicate features hinted at mischief, while an oppressive pressure filled the air.
In the next moment, Yvette effortlessly lified half of Dennis’s body off the ground with one hand.
Without a word, she leisurely dragged Dennis towards the rooftop railing
Every step Yvette took was intense torture for Dennis.
His legs scraped against the ground, and his thin hospital gown couldn’t possibly protect him from the floor’s rough surface.
After just a few steps, blood was already seeping through his knees.
Dennis let out a piercing scream of despair, and his agonizing cries echoed across the entire rooftop.
At first, Dennis cursed at Yvette with foul words, but getting no response from her, he started playing the victim and begging
for mercy.
Yvette’s lips curved into a sly smile.
By the time they reached the edge of the rooftop, the hospital gown Dennis wore had been in tatters.
He was drenched in blood, panting heavily from the pain, his voice raspy from the screams he had let out earlier. Now, he was too weak to utter a sound.
If anyone else saw Dennis now, they wouldn’t think that this was the head of the Smith family, who once ruled Seacrity’s business world for decades.
Dennis’s body trembled uncontrollably as he faced Yvette. He was truly scared of this young lady in her twenties.
Dennis pointed a finger at Yvette, his eyes filled with fear.
He screamed wildly as if he had been frightened, looking completely crazy.
Dennis whispered, “You, You’re a devil. A devil… Please, I’m begging you, let me go. There’s no way out for me. Please spare my life, will you?”
Yvette looked down and gave Dennis a cold, mocking look.
Her voice was as cold as ice as she said. “Dennis, stop pretending. If someone really lost their mind, their eyes wouldn’t be filled with as much intense hatred as yours are right now.”
Dennis’s face turned from purple to red, then from red to pale.
Exposed by Yvette, he stopped pretending to be insane.
The resentment was evident on his face.
Dennis had thought he could fool Yvette. However, he didn’t expect her to see through his trick so easily.
Dennis asked, “What exactly do you want? Are you trying to avenge the Chambers family? Look at me now. I’m already miserable enough. Haven’t you vented your anger yet?”
Yvette’s expression was still cold and detached.
She smiled with mockery, the malevolence in her eyes obvious
She crouched down in front of Dennis and spoke in a sterice, “Do you think you’re miserable? Have you forgotten the time twenty years ago when you burned down a family’s home because they wouldn’t relocate for a demolition project, resulting in the loss of eight lives? And what about the Smith Group using substandard materials with high formaldehyde

levels to build children’s rooms, leading to dozens of children developing leukemia? Don’t you remember the two families. who, after seeking justice in vain, took their own lives by jumping off a building together? Do you really consider yourself a victim? That’s absurd!”
Dennis froze.
When Yvette finished speaking, he felt a chilling sensation, as if the faces of all the people he had once driven to death flashed before his eyes.
Dennis felt he was not in the wrong. To him, those insignificant people deserved it for being in his way.
Dennis glared at Yvette, his teeth clenched and neck taut, as a wicked smile spread across his face.
With an unpleasant voice, he stated, “They were ungrateful. People like them were inferior. I was born to be superior. They were the obstacle to my success, so they deserved death”
Yvette seized Dennis by the neck and dragged him to the edge of the rooftop,
One more step and Dennis would plunge from the 30th floor.
Yvette’s stern gaze was tinged with a terrifying resolve.
With hatred, she said in a light tone, “Do you know the difference between humans and animals? Only those with a conscience deserve to be called human. But you? You’re worse than an animal.”
Dennis’s face flushed a deep red, half out of fear and half out of anger.
Being part of the Smith family, Dennis always felt superior, believing he was born above others. Yet, Yvette dared to call him worse than an animal, even though just yesterday he was the esteemed head of the Smith family.
Dennis suddenly recalled what Yvette had said earlier and turned pale, using all his strength to glare at her.
His eyes were filled with shock and terror.
Dennis asked, “It was you, wasn’t it? You leaked the Smith family’s secrets. The news about me killing that family of eight never got out. How… How did you know?”
Dennis wanted Yvette to confess but also wished she wouldn’t, because if it was true, it would be more unbearable for him than death
Facing Dennis’s desperate gaze, Yvette stood up, her eyes cold and determined, as she took a tissue to wipe away the blood that had gotten on her hand earlier. She said indifferently. It was me.”
Dennis froze, his mind blank.
At this moment, Yvette’s words echoed in his ears like a siren’s call.
Dennis mumbled to himself, “Impossible! How old are you? I engaged the top hacker team from the Mysonna International Hacker Group to construct a firewall. It’s encrypted with multiple layers of security. They assured me that fewer than three people globally could break it. How do you possess this information? Are you deceiving me? Yes… You must be lying.”
However, Yvette heard every word loud and clear.
She squinted slightly, raised an eyebrow, and showed a wicked smile.
She said. “Oh, didn’t Kim Lawson from Group
One telly? I programmed the defense wall just for fun in my spare time.”
