Chapter 10 - The EvidenceThe defense tried to argue that Leo had been confused.
That Isabella had been misunderstood.
That Sarah had exaggerated the situation.
Then the prosecution presented the photographs.
The metal grate.
The bolts.
Leo's injuries.
The hidden cavity.
And finally, the financial records.
The jury watched silently.
One document showed Isabella's planned transfer of the family trust.
Another showed the forged death declaration.
The final piece of evidence was an audio recording recovered from Isabella's phone.
Her voice could be heard discussing Leo.
The courtroom became completely still.
Arthur closed his eyes.
Sarah looked at Leo's empty chair beside the family.
The truth no longer needed defending.
It was there.
Cold.

Clear.
Unavoidable.
