Chapter 13 - The Video Plays
The doorbell footage played in ultra-high definition on the massive screen.
The audio was perfectly clear, echoing through the silent ballroom.
They all heard Beatrice call Rosa a "country peasant."
They all watched in horror as Beatrice grabbed the dog leash.
They saw the exact moment Beatrice slipped the leather collar around an elderly woman's neck.
The crowd erupted into shocked whispers and outright gasps of disgust.

They watched him ignore the abused elderly woman and violently slap his own wife.
Beatrice tried to run out of the ballroom, hiding her face in shame.
But security guards blocked all the exit doors.
