Chapter 10 - The Unbroken Evidence

The detective tapped Marcus’s smartwatch.

The crystal-clear audio played through the police radio speaker:

“Daddy… when you travel, Sarah puts drops in my juice… She calls them vitamins… but my heart goes really fast.”

Sarah’s fake sobbing stopped instantly. Her jaw dropped open as she stared at the glowing smartwatch on Marcus’s wrist. She had been so focused on her own phone that she hadn't realized Marcus’s watch had been recording audio from the moment Lily ran into his arms.

“Sarah Vance, you are under arrest for attempted murder, child endangerment, grand fraud, and unlawful administration of a controlled substance,” the detective announced firmly.

Two officers stepped forward, grabbing Sarah’s arms and pulling her up from the floor.

“Get off me! Do you know who my family is?” Sarah shrieked, kicking her legs as the steel handcuffs snapped tightly around her wrists. “Marcus, you ruined everything! You were supposed to be in Chicago! You were supposed to leave!”
