Chapter 20 - The Shocking Confession
The prosecution called Dr. Robert Vance—no relation to Marcus—a disgraced lab technician from Manhattan.
Dressed in an orange prison jumpsuit and heavy wrist restraints, the technician took the witness stand.
"Dr. Vance, did you manufacture the synthetic paralytic compound found in Chloe Vance's system?" the prosecutor asked.
The technician looked over at Vivian, his face contorted with guilt and fear.
"Yes. Vivian Sterling paid me two hundred thousand dollars in cash to create an untraceable nerve poison," he confessed.
"She specifically instructed me to make sure the child appeared to die of natural muscular dystrophy!"
Gasping ripples echoed across the packed courtroom as reporters frantically pounded on their laptop keyboards.
