Chapter 11 - Security Footage Reveals Portia’s True Connection To The Crime

The screen flickered to life, showing archival security footage recovered from the estate’s original analog tape system.
It showed a seventeen-year-old Portia standing at the top of the grand staircase holding a heavy brass candlestick.

Portia stood at the landing, watching without a single shred of remorse as her mother’s body came to rest below.
The entire ballroom fell into a suffocating, graveyard silence as the horrifying truth played out in vivid color.
