Marcus walked past Vanessa without saying another word.
He knelt beside Olivia.
"I'm here."
His gentle voice brought tears to Olivia's eyes.
Vanessa nervously laughed.
"I was trying to help her."
Marcus finally stood.
His voice was calm.
"Enough."
The hallway became silent.
Vanessa tried to explain again.
"Marcus, you're misunderstanding—"
He slowly pointed toward the ceiling.
"The camera..."
"...is recording live."
Vanessa's smile vanished.
She looked up.
A security camera blinked with its small red recording light.
Her breathing became uneven.
She had completely forgotten that the mansion's new security system livestreamed every hallway directly to the estate's security office.
At that very moment, the head of security entered holding a tablet.
"I have the footage."
Every guest watched as the video played.
The recording clearly showed Vanessa deliberately pushing Olivia before pretending it had been an accident.
No one said a word.
