Natalie and Marcus left Kenton's office hand in hand, but they didn't go far. Instead, they turned and entered another room.
This office had a large one-way mirror. From Natalie and Marcus' room, they could see everything happening in the room across.
Yvette and Charlene were pushed into the opposite room by Kenton's bodyguards.
By this point, Yvette had already regained consciousness. The Umbrahex in her system had begun to flare up. The moment the guards released their grip, she curled up on the ground, writhing in agony.
"It hurts… It hurts!" Yvette screamed in pain, rolling back and forth on the floor as snot and tears poured down her face.
"Nat, did my mother suffer like this when her symptoms hit?" Marcus' deep, hoarse voice rang out, the hatred in his eyes pouring out, bit by bit.
"Laura's condition back then was far worse than this." Natalie reached over and held Marcus' fingers. "The pain she endured was 100—no, 1000 times worse than this.
"Yvette contracted a terminal illness and thought that meant she had immunity from punishment. But she was wrong."
Marcus let out a cold laugh. "Kenton will make sure she suffers slowly. Let's go."
"Alright."
Marcus didn't want to watch any longer. Every second he looked at Yvette reminded him of Charles dying in his study. He couldn't take it—he really couldn't.
After they left the room, it wasn't long before Sheldon entered in disguise. He stood where Marcus had just been and removed the mask over his face.
Behind the glass, Yvette screamed hoarsely in pain. Meanwhile, Charlene was huddled in a corner, too afraid to move.
Sheldon's eyes were bloodshot now.
But it was not nearly enough. The pain Yvette was suffering now was nowhere near enough.
Someone knocked on the door at this moment, and Kenton walked in soon after.
"Sheldon, Mr. Holden didn't see you, did he?" Kenton asked with concern. "Mr. Holden and Ms. Walker just left. A new management team will soon take over this hospital.
"Once I deal with Yvette, I'll accept my punishment for the sins I've committed."
"You've finished the divorce proceedings with Julie," Sheldon said matter-of-factly. "Kenton, are you really ready to die?"
"I've been ready for a long time," Kenton answered calmly. "I never wanted to be Yvette's dog, but my sister's daughter was always in her hands, and our forces were no match for hers.
"She forced me to do a lot of dirty work. I've kept evidence of all of it, but even now, she still won't reveal Megan's whereabouts.
"I've even started to wonder; maybe after she helped deliver Mrs. Holden's baby, she got rid of Megan. Otherwise, how could she have just disappeared, dead or alive?"
"Yvette hasn't suffered enough yet. But once the pain becomes unbearable, she'll talk," Sheldon said coldly. "Kenton, your methods still aren't enough."
Kenton paused, then nodded in acknowledgment. "I understand. Thanks for the advice, Sheldon."
"Alright."
Kenton turned and left the room thereafter. Meanwhile, Sheldon continued watching the scene before him through the glass. Yvette was clawing at her own scalp in pain. Blood soon streamed down from her head.
Having left Sheldon alone, Kenton pushed open the door to the adjacent room. "Yvette, Lina is here."
Yvette had already been driven off the edge by the unbearable pain. She could no longer see or hear anything around her. All she could feel was the agony—bone-deep, soul-tearing pain, plunging her into total darkness.
Her body trembled violently as the pain was unbearable. She only wanted to die.
Kenton sneered and walked over to inject her with a painkiller.
The medicine kicked in, and Yvette slowly began to settle down. Curled into a tight ball, she trembled uncontrollably from the lingering pain.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus)
This one gets us readers asking for more! Excellent story, great twists......
Hope Grandpa Charles lives long enough to see Marcus and Nat's children, please. It will make him happy to see life is still worth living and that he didn't fail raising Marcus at least. Let him be happy at least in this aspect. Thanks...
Finished till 538....Waiting for more...
This really hurts. I am confused if Yvette sent a msg saying old love to Charles through Charlene. Why isnt it in her confession. Or did she actually set vivian up into sleeping with that man? And later blackmailed vivian with it till vivian commited suicide? Did Yvetty yhinks Charles would marry her after vivians death but he remained loyal. Hence her anger?...
Hope Nat can cure Marcus' mom. Looking forward to new updates. Thank you...
