Julian Sterling tapped his smartphone twice, connecting it wirelessly to the grand foyer’s wall-mounted display screen.
High-definition video immediately filled the screen, broadcasting the entire incident in crystal-clear audio and crisp 4K visual quality.

Evelyn’s face drained of all color, her smug smile instantly collapsing into pure, unadulterated terror.
"This is a total frame-up!" Evelyn stammered frantically, stepping backward as guests began whispering in disgust.
"The video footage does not lie, Evelyn," Julian stated coldly, adjusting his black bow tie with ruthless composure.
