Chapter 6 - The Unseen Sabotage
The high-definition video loaded onto Julian's screen, displaying the private room ten minutes before the accident.
The camera clearly showed Leo playing on the floor with his toy car while Emma was quietly arranging silver plates at the side buffet table.
Then, the footage showed Victoria walking over to the glass cabinet while Emma's back was turned.
Victoria reached behind the ornate wooden carving, her gloved fingers deliberately unlatching the heavy iron wall anchor that held the cabinet flush against the studs.
She then placed a folded cloth beneath the rear legs, creating an artificial tilt so that the slightest vibration from the floorboards would send the hundreds of pounds of glass and wood crashing forward.
Victoria had intentionally set a trap, expecting Emma to walk past it and trigger the collapse, framing her for a horrific accident or worse.
Julian's face turned to absolute stone as he watched his wife deliberately sabotage a heavy piece of furniture directly behind his four-year-old son.
"You..." Julian whispered, turning his dark, terrifying gaze onto Victoria. "You risked our son's life just to ruin a waitress?"
