"Don't look at such a disgusting scene." A man's deep voice came from behind, accompanied by a faint smell of tobacco.
Hera pulled his hand away. "No, I want to watch her suffer!"
Hera's gaze was icy-cold as she stared at Linda struggling in agony. She watched as Linda screamed and slowly lost consciousness.
The skin on her upper body was gradually torn apart by the stones until her body was a grotesque mess, so horrifying that it made some of the onlookers nauseous, with a few even unable to stop themselves from throwing up.
But Hera never looked away. Her face remained expressionless, sending chills down people's spines.
When Daphne died in a car accident all those years ago, Hera's pain and despair were no less than what Linda was experiencing now. This was Linda's karma!
As the execution ended, some spectators who couldn't bear to watch left early, but Hera stayed until the very end.
Linda died in agony. With her family having disowned her and no one from the Killians to collect the body, the prison guards sent her corpse to the crematorium for a hasty burial.
She became the most miserable wife of the Killian family, without a title or even a proper grave after her death. Her ashes were disposed of by the funeral home, which meant there was not even a trace of her in this world.
"Linda is Dahpne's murderer!"
"Linda of the Killian family was found guilty!"
"The president's wife was sentenced to death!"
Once Linda's case was closed, it quickly trended online. Netizens eagerly awaited the Killian family's share price to hit a new low. Yet, to everyone's surprise, the shares rebounded!
"Is someone saving Killian Corporation?"
"Look at the trading chart. Their shares surged suddenly."
"I wonder which wealthy person is buying in?"
