Chapter 6 - The Footage That Unmasked the Real Killer
The video opened with Arthur standing near the top of the grand staircase, holding a thick leather folder in his left hand.
Jessica stood three steps below him, arguing heatedly about property deeds while gesturing wildly with her hands.
Suddenly, a tall figure dressed in a dark wool coat stepped out from the shadowed hallway behind Arthur with terrifying speed.
The man had a distinct scar running down his left jawline—a mark Julian had received during a childhood fencing accident.
Julian didn't hesitate; he shoved Arthur hard in the center of his back while simultaneously ripping the leather folder from his grip.
Arthur lost his balance instantly, tumbling backward down the steep marble steps as Jessica screamed in absolute, paralyzed horror.
Julian calmly walked past Jessica, pulled a small tool from his coat pocket, and unscrewed the primary wall camera in five seconds flat.
He looked directly into the hidden micro-camera behind the clock, offering a cold, mocking smile before disappearing down the back stairs.
Ethan slammed his fist into the mahogany desk, shattering a glass paperweight as tears of absolute rage welled in his eyes.
