Chapter 7 - The Poison in the Pantry
Julian sprinted down the stairs, his face pale as he shouted for Martha in the kitchen.
"Martha! Where does Lily get her nightly glass of milk?!" Julian demanded, holding the glass vial in his palm.
"From the organic carton in the pantry, sir," Martha answered, startled by his frantic tone. "Mrs. Vance always insisted on pouring it herself."
Julian rushed into the pantry, grabbing the milk container and smelling the cap.
"Take this directly to the county crime lab," Julian ordered, handing the container to his security chief.
"Have them test it for trace elements of thallium sulfate immediately," Julian added, his voice raspy with dread.
Two hours later, the laboratory confirmed Julian's worst fears.
The milk was laced with small, daily doses of poison—enough to cause organ failure in a six-year-old child within a year.
Victoria wasn't just abusing Lily out of jealousy; she was slowly terminating the child to ensure her own future inheritance.
