Chapter 5 - The Voice from the Speaker
Judge Thorne didn't hesitate. She reached over the bench and took the black tablet from Noah’s small hands.
The screen illuminated, displaying a single video file timestamped three nights prior at 11:42 PM in the Vance estate study.
“What is on this video, Noah?” Judge Thorne asked, her stern countenance masking a sudden, deep tension.
Noah turned his head slightly, his eyes cool and unfazed as he looked straight into Julian’s panic-stricken face.
“The truth about Daddy,” Noah stated in a clear, calm voice.
Judge Thorne tapped the screen and connected the tablet’s audio feed directly to the courtroom’s high-definition sound system.
A static pop echoed through the speakers, followed by Julian’s distinct, booming voice filling the courtroom space—not the smooth, polished tone he used in front of the press, but a cruel, menacing snarl.

“If you say one word to the guardian ad litem, Noah, I will make sure your mother spends the rest of her life in an asylum,” Julian’s recorded voice raged over the speakers. “I paid off the court psychiatrist six months ago. I own the judge, I own the police, and I own you. You tell them she’s crazy, or you’ll never see her again!”
