Chapter 3 - The Man Who Saw EverythingArthur Vance entered the suite.
Khloe's uncle was sixty years old, silver-haired, impeccably dressed, and feared throughout Manhattan's financial world.
But tonight, there was nothing polished about him.
His tie was loose.
His expression was cold.
His eyes went immediately to Khloe.
Then to Isabella.
"Who did this?"
No one answered.
Isabella swallowed.
"Mr. Vance, I can explain—"
Arthur raised one hand.
"Don't."
He pulled out his phone.
The room went silent.
A video began playing.
The hospital surveillance footage showed everything.
The confrontation.
The shove.
The shattered glass.
The attack.
Isabella's voice.
Her threats.
Then her performance of innocence when Marcus arrived.
The lie was destroyed in less than three minutes.
Marcus stared at the screen.
His jaw tightened.
Arthur turned toward Isabella.
"You made one mistake."
Isabella's face went white.
"What?"
"You assumed powerful people don't keep records."
Arthur's voice was almost gentle.
"Modern America records everything."
The suite doors opened again.
Two detectives entered.
Isabella stepped backward.
"No."
