Chapter 8 - The VideoVictoria tried to leave.
Valerie stepped into her path.
"You're not going anywhere."
Victoria laughed nervously.
"You can't threaten me."
Valerie removed a secure tablet from her equipment bag.
"Who said anything about threatening you?"
She activated the screen.
The courtyard appeared.
Victoria froze.
The footage continued.
There she was dragging Beatrice.
There she was withholding food.
There she was demanding signatures.
There she was locking the cage.
Victoria's face drained of color.
"No."
Valerie continued playing.
"That system was independent from the estate network."
Victoria stared at the screen.
"You've been watching?"
"Yes."
"How long?"
"Long enough."
The room fell silent.
Valerie looked directly into her eyes.
"You didn't know you were being watched."
