The Truth Unveiled
With the lab report in hand, Detective Laura obtained a warrant. But Angela begged for one more chance to warn William herself.
When she entered the mansion, he was sitting by the fireplace, pale and trembling. His once-vibrant face looked hollow.
“Sir, please,” Angela said softly, kneeling beside him. “Just hear me out this one last time.”
She handed him the report. His eyes scanned the paper — and everything clicked.
The powder. The faint bitterness in his meals. The sudden weakness.
Just then, Claudia appeared, carrying a tray of soup.
“Dinner’s ready, love,” she said sweetly.
William stared at her, voice cold and steady.
“Put it down, Claudia. You’ve done enough.”
Her smile faltered. “What do you mean?”
He raised the report. “You’re finished.”
Outside, faint sirens grew louder.
Claudia spun toward the door, but it was too late. Police burst in, surrounding her. She screamed, clawed, and accused Angela of framing her — but the evidence was overwhelming.
She was arrested on charges of attempted murder.
