The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 566

The interrogation of Kenton and Lina went on for a long time.

All these years, Kenton had been secretly collecting evidence while working for Yvette. He had already given a large portion of it to Julie. After she was rescued by Federrick's people, the first thing she did upon seeing Natalie was hand everything over.

Meanwhile, Natalie had already teamed up with Marcus to secretly approach the enforcement office. Working together, they obtained Selena's notebook and began investigating behind the scenes while preparing for a rescue operation.

Now, the evidence Kenton held was more crucial and essential than ever.

The case was nearly solved now. All that remained was to verify the testimonies and issue the sentences.

Lina listened as Kenton confessed to everything. Her face grew paler, and the despair in her eyes deepened.

There was no turning back.

When Kenton finished, she knew there was no room for argument.

"Lina, do you have anything to say?"

"I confess to everything." She closed her eyes, tears slipping down her cheeks. "I confess to everything," she said again.

At the same time, Yvette sat alone in another interrogation room.

In front of her, an iPad played a live feed from the room where Kenton and Lina were still confessing to their crimes.

She remained silent, watching as Kenton and Lina finished explaining everything.

When the footage ended, a voice could be heard beside her, saying, "Yvette, it's your turn now."

The woman was covered in bruises, and her hair was a tangled mess. Yvette looked utterly disheveled.

She was handcuffed to her chair, and the iPad was placed just out of reach. She couldn't even smash it if she wanted to.

Yvette was silent for a long time before finally exhaling a deep breath. She didn't scream or break down. Instead, she spoke calmly. "I have nothing to confess. Everything they said is true."

"So you admit to the crimes Kenton and Lina described?"

Yvette nodded. "Yes."

With that single word, the biggest human trafficking case in Amberton was finally cracked.

"Take her into custody. The sentencing will proceed as scheduled."

Yvette heard the words through the speaker, and tears rolled down her face.

For Yvette, that meant the death penalty.

Dying of natural causes would be better.

…

Natalie and Marcus sat by the window of Uptown Café in Amberton, sipping coffee. They had just received news from the enforcement office that the case was finally closed.

Yvette, Kenton, and Lina had all been sentenced to death. They would be executed by firing squad in a week.

Natalie took another sip of her coffee, then looked across the table at Marcus.

His sharp features and piercing gaze made his presence intense. Ever since Charles passed away, the air around him had only grown colder and more ruthless. But beneath that, there was grief—so well-hidden that most people wouldn't notice.

Natalie, however, had spent the most time with him. She was observant and perceptive.

She could sense it.

"I never expected that hospital to be hiding such horrors," she finally said. "Now I wonder… Was turning it into a rescue center the right decision?"
