“Six years ago, my father, Dr. Arthur Brooks, was the lead chemical researcher for Vance Pharmaceuticals,” Elena explained, her dark eyes shining with intense emotional strength. “He discovered that your company’s flagship painkiller was causing fatal organ toxicity in clinical trials.”

“That’s ancient history! You have no proof!” Camille screamed, backing toward the tall arched windows.
“I didn't have proof six years ago,” Elena replied, holding up the leather journal. “But last night, while you were trying to steal Gabriel’s tech files, I unlocked your father’s private safe in the guest wing. Inside was the original lab report... with your father’s handwritten order to cut the brake lines on my father’s vehicle.”
