Chapter 10 - The Unraveling
"That audio is a fake!" Victoria shrieked, her voice screeching into hysteria as she pointed a trembling finger at Julian. "It's an AI generation! He's mentally unstable! He's been grieving his runaway wife for three years and he's gone mad!"
Senator Vance stepped back from Victoria, his expression filled with absolute disgust. "Victoria... is that your voice?"
"No! Senator, you know me! I built this company!" Victoria yelled, her diamond necklace shaking against her neck. "Julian is trying to steal the estate before the board meeting tomorrow!"

"This bridal veil was pulled from under the floorboards of the suite ten minutes ago," Julian announced, his voice steady as iron. "Along with a letter written by Evelyn on the night she was murdered."
The room went completely breathless. Reporters scrambled to capture photos of the yellowed lace in Julian's hands.
