Chapter 7 - The Little Witness
Lily had been playing near the VIP corridor, clutching her plush white bunny, waiting for her mother to finish speaking with the hotel staff. She had wandered toward a dimly lit alcove when she saw Victoria step inside with a tall man wearing a heavy silver signet ring.
"Is the final vial ready?" Victoria had whispered in a dark, hurried tone, reaching out to take a tiny glass container filled with clear liquid from the man. "Once Clara drinks the champagne during the toast, the toxin will reach her heart within an hour. Patrick will be arrested for her murder by midnight, and you and I will finally have total control of the entire estate."
The tall man had chuckled softly, kissing Victoria on the cheek. "And what about the little girl? What happens to Patrick's daughter?"
"She'll be sent to a state orphanage," Victoria had replied with cold indifference. "Besides, Patrick isn't even her biological father anyway, though he's stupid enough to believe he is."
