Chapter 20 - The Shocking Confession
The prosecution called Dr. Robert Vance—no relation to Marcus—a disgraced lab technician from Manhattan[cite: 7].
Dressed in an orange prison jumpsuit and heavy wrist restraints, the technician took the witness stand[cite: 7].
"Dr. Vance, did you manufacture the synthetic paralytic compound found in Chloe Vance's system?" the prosecutor asked[cite: 7].
The technician looked over at Vivian, his face contorted with guilt and fear[cite: 7].
"Yes. Vivian Sterling paid me two hundred thousand dollars in cash to create an untraceable nerve poison," he confessed[cite: 7].
"She specifically instructed me to make sure the child appeared to die of natural muscular dystrophy!"[cite: 7]
Gasping ripples echoed across the packed courtroom as reporters frantically pounded on their laptop keyboards[cite: 7].
