Chapter 23 - THE WITNESS DESTROYS JULIAN
In a side courtroom, Eleanor Vance faced her own preliminary hearing regarding the attempted poisoning of Clara.
Her defense lawyer attempted to shift all blame onto Julian, claiming Eleanor was manipulated by her son's desperate demands.
However, the prosecution produced a surprise witness who walked slowly into the courtroom under heavy federal guard.
It was Chloe Kensington, Julian's former fiancée, wearing a conservative black suit and holding a thick binder of evidence.
"Miss Kensington, did Eleanor Vance discuss removing Clara permanently from the family line?" the prosecutor asked clearly.
"Yes," Chloe testified firmly, her voice echoing off the courtroom walls. "Eleanor told me in private that she would rather see Clara dead than allow her to inherit the Vance estate."

Eleanor let out a blood-curdling scream, lunging across the defense table toward Chloe before four federal marshals pinned her to the floor.
The judge immediately ordered Eleanor held without bail, cementing her fate behind iron bars for the rest of her life.
