I moved quickly, grabbing Isabelle's wrist before she could strike Olivia. The fury in my cousin's eyes was
matched only by the cold determination in Olivia's.

authorities."
"No need?" Olivia's voice was ice cold. "Your friend just admitted to arranging my assault."
"Isabelle has been through enough," Victoria pleaded, her voice softening with practiced sympathy. "Miles
attacked her too, you know. After his plan with you failed, he went after her instead."
| watched Olivia's expression shift as she processed this information. Something calculating entered her

| studied Victoria's pleading expression and Isabelle's tearful performance. They thought they hadcornered,
that | would back down out of pity or fear of causing more .
They were wrong.
"That's interesting," | said, tapping my phone screen. "Because | have something you both should see."
| turned the phone toward them, playing a video I'd obtained from the Crescent Moon Hotel's security system.
The footage clearly showed Isabelle being dragged away by Miles Blackwood, struggling against his grip.
But what made the video truly damning was Victoria standing nearby, watching the entire scene unfold before
calmly walking in the opposite direction.
"You saw her being taken," | said coldly, turning the phone screen toward Isabelle. "Your precious Victoria
watched Miles drag you away and simply walked in the opposite direction."
Isabelle's face drained of color as she stared at the footage. Her hands trembled as she reached for the phone,
needing to see it more clearly.

Victoria's perfect composure cracked. "Isabelle, | can explain-"

nothing!"
Victoria backed away, her hands raised defensively. "I didn't know what he was going to do! | thought you were

Victoria scrambled to her feet, touching the scratches on her face with trembling fingers. "Isabelle, please, you're
not thinking clearly-"
"Shut up!" Isabelle spat, still struggling against my hold. "I've done everything for you! I've kept all your
secrets!"
A chill ran down my spine at her words. Victoria's face paled further.
"Isabelle," Victoria warned, her voice low and threatening. "Don't say something you'll regret."
Isabelle laughed bitterly, tears still streaming down her face. "Regret? Like how | regret protecting you all these
years?"
She turned to me, her eyes blazing with a mixture of anger and vindication. "She's been lying to you! Olivia
never drugged you that night! It was Victoria who set the whole thing up!"
