Under the Heiress' Facade
Chapter 732

Chapter 732

"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?"

"Buying low and selling high. One will make a fortune if they invest now!"

"Should I buy shares too?"

"I bought half a million. I'm waiting for them to increase in price!"

"I also bought them."

Netizens buzzed with speculation, and many investors started buying Killian Corporation's shares. By the afternoon market closed, the share price had gone up.

The next day, Killian Corporation's shares continued to rise in value. It went on for the next three days. The share price hit a new high, and by Friday afternoon, the share hit its upper limit, halting further trades.

Shareholders were thrilled, eagerly anticipating the shares' continued rise the following week, hoping to strike gold.

But on the Killian family's side, the person in charge was far from happy.

"Sir, the shares have hit the upper limit. I suspect someone is deliberately leading a surge in share purchases," Matthew said as he entered the room.

From the moment the share price started rising, Chad noticed something unusual. However, being a seasoned businessman, he didn't panic. Dealing with the recent issue was draining enough, so he instructed Matthew to monitor the situation.

Normally, after a scandal, the company's share price would plummet. However, not only did it not fall, but it even rose steadily for days, and the rate of increase was only getting faster. This was highly unusual.

"Check the shareholders' holdings," Chad instructed.

In times of crisis, having someone help the stock market was a good thing. Usually, this would be orchestrated by the family or through their business partners to stabilize their holdings.

However, if the holdings were in the hands of an unknown party with no ties to the family, it could turn into a ticking time bomb. When the person decided to sell off their shares and cash out profits, many of the followers would also dump their stocks, causing another major upheaval, with the share price crashing.

"Understood," Matthew replied and left the room.

Before long, Matthew returned with the shareholders' information.
