Chapter 157
Yvette’s words destroyed Dennis’s last hope, and he completely collapsed.
His eyes widened with anger and despair as he spat out the blood he had been suppressing, and it splattered across the ground
Under the moonlight, the scene looked creepy and eerie
It was only at this point that Dennis truly felt fearful and regretful.
Before Yvette returned to the Chambers family, Dennis had looked into her background, which looked plain and normal.
Dennis never really took Yvette seriously.
He assumed she was merely a rural girl, undeserving of his notice. At that time, he mused, “What’s the worst that could happen if Yvette discovers I was the one who hurt Lilian? Handling her would be a breeze for me!
Thinking about it now, Dennis realized everything made sense.
It was simple for a top hacker, who was invincible against any member of the International Cybersecurity Conference, to erase her own past.
Dennis, who was clever all his life, was caught off guard and didn’t expect to be outsmarted by Yvette.
The Smith family was ruined overnight by Yvette’s actions, and she had tortured Dennis cruelly.
Dennis said recklessly, “I never thought you’d be a hacker. I’ve lost fair and square, but we’re in the hospital, and I can’t believe you’d kill me here. As long as I’m alive, I’ll definitely sue you for intent to harm. Just wait and see
Yvette shoved her hands into her pockets.
Her eyes were half-closed, her posture relaxed and carefree.
She said calmly, “I’m sorry to tell you, but you won’t have the chance to say anything?”
Effortlessly, Yvette lifted the scrawny Dennis from the ground.
She slammed his head onto the floor, leaving his lower body hanging in the air.
Dennis was so terrified that he didn’t dare to move, not even struggle.
If Yvette let go, Dennis would fall from the rooftop and be smashed to pieces.
Suddenly, Dennis realized that Yvette really intended to kill him and begged with tears, Tm begging you! I was really wrong Yvette. Please spare me. Oh, right… Don’t you want to know what actually happened with your mother back then? If you spare me, I’ll tell you the truth. Don’t you want revenge? I’ll tell you everything I know.”
Dennis had exhausted all his options. If he had any other tricks up his sleeve, he wouldn’t have resorted to his final move.
Yvette stared at Dennis’s terrified face, speaking slowly and gently, yet it only made Dennis more afraid, “Say it.”
Dennis remained silent.
He understood that speaking now was not an option. Revealing everything to Yvette would significantly reduce his chances of survival, as he was certain she would not hesitate to fints him off.
Yvette sneered, her eyes unfathomable as her slender fingers slowly increased their pressure. With a fierce glare, she silently

warned Dennis, One Two-,
Dennis’s face tumed pale with fright
Breathing became more and more difficult for him, and he realized what Yvette meant, as when she counted to three, she would let go.
Dennis managed to squeeze out a few words, “Till say it! I’ll spill everything I know, alright?”
When Yvette heard his words, she dragged Dennis up and threw him to the ground with a loud crack, which led to his painful scream
Dennis gasped for air, quickly confessing everything from the past, “At that time, the bio-lab in Betrico required funding for a project. The director, who was also an old friend of mine, Rashad Pollard, reached out to me. He mentioned that if the project was successful, we could make a fortune, but we needed a clandestine test subject. Around that time, Nellie was eager to marry Zachary and was insistent that I find a way to eliminate Lilian. So, I arranged for someone to incapacitate Lilian and deliver her to Rashad As for what happened afterward, I genuinely have no knowledge. Please, have mercy on me, I’m pleading for my life”
When Dennis saw that Yvette remained expressionless after hearing his story, he started to panic inside.
Yvette tilted her head slightly. Her eyes shone with a bright and cruel gleam.
She took a small black pill from her pocket and accurately tossed it into Dennis’s mouth while it was open.
By the time Dennis realized it, he’d already swallowed it, and desperately clawing at his throat was pointless
He asked, “What did you give me?”
Yvette’s voice dripped with scorn, cool and detached. “It’s not a big deal,” she said. “Starting now, every time you drift off to sleep, the most painful memories you’d rather forget will haunt you. You’ll be forced to see faces you wish to avoid and to experience your deepest fears again and again, until the day you draw your last breath”
After Yvette finished speaking, she put her hands in her pockets and walked away without looking
Dennis couldn’t believe what she said, thinking, ‘How could such a drug exist in this world?
back.
Dennis couldn’t move at all now, so he shouted desperately for help, hoping someone would come to rescue him.
The next morning, Dennis was discovered having spent the entire night on the cold rooftop.
He lay there, his mouth twisted and his eyes drooping. The doctors diagnosed him with a stroke.
Dennis was paralyzed, unable to even speak clearly.
The police had no idea how he got onto the rooftop. They wanted to check the surveillance footage, but all the videos from that time were missing, so they had no choice but to give up.
During the days Dennis was paralyzed, he was tortured physically and mentally.
Yvette really hadn’t lied to him.
Now, whenever Dennis closed his eyes, he was haunted by the faces of everyone he had harmed.
In three days, the Smith family’s stocks hit rock bottom, and the Smith Group was seized by the court. In Seacrity, the Smith family was no more, leaving only three of the four major families.
Wyatt thoroughly investigated everything and cleared the names of those victims, giving them justice.
Chapter 157
The children suffering from Jeukemia received proper care, and the corrupt officials were promptly punished by law, which ultimately alleviated the public’s outrage.
The Smith family’s ordeal had come to an end. The court had revised Dennis’s sentence to life imprisonment in light of his medical condition. Once his health stabilized, he would be transferred from the hospital directly to the prison facility.
Ten days later, Fresh out of the shower, Yvette received a call from the Eagle King, calling all the way from Mysonna
Sued
He reported. “Boss, you were absolutely right. Zeke and Nellie had escaped to Mysonna. But not even a week later, Zeke got his leg broken. That fool thought Mysonma was just like back home and ended up getting involved with the mistress of a local leader. To save himself, Zeke even offered his mother to that gang leader, and she agreed, apparently quite gladly. Later, Zeke and Nellie tried to run away with some stolen money but were caught. They broke his leg and left him on the street. Now, Zeke is begging to survive, and his mother isn’t much better off. That gang leader has some strange habits, and it’s said she’s suffering a lot.”
Heating this, Yvette was stunned slightly, holding the towel.
With an expressionless face and a low and hoarse voice, she said. “Okay, I got it. Bye”
Dennis was lying on the bed, drool all over his face.
His already thin body had wasted away completely over the past ten days, giving off an unpleasant
He looked like a skeleton, only his moving eyes showed he was still alive.
Winona entered, dressed in high-end designer clothing and white flat shoes.
When she saw Dennis lying on the bed, her expression was distant and disgusted.
She raised her hand to cover her nose and said in her usual gentle voice, “Grandpa, how are you?”
smell.
Hearing the familiar voice, Dennis wanted to reach out and grab Winona but couldn’t move at all, only managing to make helpless sounds.
Winona sat in a chair, staring at Dennis, with her chin held high.
She showed a sinister smile and said, “Grandpa, I’m pregnant. Can you guess who the father is?”
Dennis was still conscious. When he heard her words, his eyes lit up. Winona just ignored his reaction.
She looked at him intently, speaking slowly and carefully, “Oh, you definitely won’t guess it. You think it’s Victor, don’t you? Nope, it’s Robert. Isn’t that interesting?”
