Chapter 7 - The Bluetooth Trap
The three massive private security guards stepped forward, but as soon as Mauricio shot them a cold, piercing glare, they immediately backed down. They knew exactly how dangerous Mauricio was.
"You are delusional, Mauricio!" Carmen screamed hysterically, her silver gown shimmering as she backed away from him. "My husband left this entire estate to me! You forfeited your right to be here when you chose that street rat over your own blood!"
"Did he?" Mauricio asked smoothly, entirely devoid of human empathy.
He didn't argue with her. He simply pulled his cell phone from his pocket. With a single tap, he synced his phone to the massive, high-tech Bluetooth surround-sound system built into the dining hall’s walls.
He pressed play.
His late father’s voice suddenly boomed through the luxury room, crystal-clear and utterly undeniable.
"I have known for months that Carmen was embezzling millions from the corporate accounts to fund her private gambling debts... I have legally bypassed your mother entirely. The entire multi-billion-dollar estate... is being left directly to my first legally recognized grandchild. Renata."
The elite guests gasped in unified, paralyzing horror. Several wealthy investors at the table immediately put their wine glasses down, looking at Carmen with pure, unadulterated disgust.
Carmen hyperventilated, clutching her chest for real this time. Her eyes darted wildly around the room, realizing her massive, billion-dollar lie had just violently collapsed into dust in front of the most powerful people in the city.
"That... that's a fake!" Carmen shrieked like a banshee, pointing a shaking manicured finger at Mauricio. "He faked the audio with a computer! He is trying to steal my money!"

"I don't have to steal anything," Mauricio replied coldly. "It already belongs to my daughter."
