Victoria's eyes tracked his finger toward the small security camera hidden high above.
Her heart sank directly into her stomach as she realized her mistake.
Every single word and action had been recorded in crystal-clear high definition audio.
"That camera feeds straight to a secure private cloud server," Marcus informed her coldly.
"My security team has already seen you raise that needle against my daughter," he added.
Victoria began to tremble violently, her tough act crumbling into absolute dust.
She knew a life sentence in a federal prison was waiting for her now.
"It wasn't my idea, Marcus! Please, you have to believe me!" Victoria begged aloud.
"Tell me who ordered you to do this!" Marcus roared, stepping even closer to her.
Victoria broke down sobbing, tears ruining the thick makeup on her face.
"It was your stepbrother, Julian! He paid me one million dollars!" she confessed rapidly.
Marcus closed his eyes for a short second as a heavy disappointment hit him.
Julian Vance had been trying to gain control of the family estate for years.
When Marcus survived the car crash, Julian realized he needed a more permanent solution.
He had used the family trust to hire Victoria as a fake personal nurse.
Together they planned to drain the family trust fund once Marcus was out of the way.
They never cared about the innocent six-year-old girl who would be left all alone.
"Julian said he would take custody of Lily and control the trust money," Victoria whimpered.
Marcus felt a fresh wave of rage wash over his entire body at those evil words.
His own blood relative wanted to strip his daughter of her legal inheritance.
"He will never get near my child or my money ever again," Marcus promised fiercely.
He pulled out his smartphone with his free hand and hit speed dial one.
The voice of the chief of police answered on the very first ring tone.
"Chief, I have the evidence you needed regarding the corporate fraud case," Marcus said.
"Send your officers to my office, and send a squad car to Julian's house immediately."
