Chapter 3 - Maria Hands Over The Hard Security Evidence

Ethan held out his hand, and Maria immediately slid a small encrypted flash drive into his open palm.
“This contains twenty minutes of crystal-clear footage and multi-angle audio from the newly installed nursery sensors,” Maria explained.
Victoria’s breath caught in her throat, her arrogant facade finally crumbling into absolute, unadulterated panic.
“Don't plug that in, Ethan! It’s a manipulated deepfake created by her disgruntled family to extort us!” Victoria lied desperately.
Ethan plugged the flash drive directly into the smart-wall monitor mounted beside the mahogany changing table.
The screen flickered to life, instantly displaying high-definition video of Victoria leaning dangerously close to the sleeping infant.
“I told you I wasn't playing games, Victoria; your career as a socialite is officially finished,” Ethan said coldly.
The video played audio of Victoria plotting to make the baby’s disappearance look like a tragic accidental kidnapping.
Tears of rage welled in Victoria’s eyes as she realized there was no escape from the digital trap.
