Chapter 7 - The Security Footage
As soon as the door clicked shut, Maya dropped the cup into the sink.
She wasn't just a naive little girl anymore.
She immediately called Arthur's head of security, a towering man named Marcus.
"Marcus, I need you to pull the security footage from the hallway outside my room," Maya ordered.
Marcus arrived ten minutes later with a tablet.
They watched the video together in absolute silence.
The high-definition camera clearly showed Cassandra standing in the hallway before knocking.
It captured her pulling a small vial from her pocket and dumping the clear liquid into one specific teacup.
Marcus cursed under his breath.
"She tried to drug you," Marcus growled, his fists clenching.
"I will go arrest her right now."
"No," Maya said firmly, a fierce fire burning in her eyes.
"If we arrest her now, she will hire expensive lawyers and claim it was just sugar."
Marcus looked at the young heir with newfound respect.
"What do you want to do, Miss Eleanor?" he asked.
"I want to let her think she won," Maya replied coldly.
"We are going to expose her in front of the entire world."

Maya quickly outlined her plan, proving she had the true, calculating blood of a Beaumont running through her veins.
She was going to let Cassandra dig her own grave.
