Chapter 7 - The Hospital Bed
The devastating revelation echoed loudly in Camila's mind as she immediately ordered Wayne to drive her straight to the trauma center.
Edwin had foolishly loaned the sabotaged sedan to Chloe, completely forgetting that he had paid a hitman to destroy the brakes just hours prior.
Chloe was entirely dead, and the secret baby she had been carrying was gone forever.
Camila walked slowly into the bustling intensive care unit, feeling completely devoid of any sympathy for the people who had destroyed her family.
She found Edwin lying broken in a sterile hospital bed, completely wrapped in thick white bandages and connected to a loud ventilator.
His mother, Beverly, was hysterically sobbing in the corner, clutching her designer purse as if it could somehow protect her from reality.
When Beverly saw Camila walk into the room, her immense sorrow instantly transformed into pure, unfiltered rage.
She aggressively demanded that Camila immediately wire five million dollars to pay for a team of elite, private reconstructive surgeons.
Camila looked at the pathetic older woman and calmly reminded her of the night she was forced to stand in the pouring rain.
She coldly refused to spend a single penny of her father's hard-earned fortune to save the man who had ordered his murder.
Beverly screamed violent curses, completely losing her mind and threatening to destroy Camila's life permanently.
Suddenly, Annika nervously slipped into the hospital room, looking incredibly pale and physically shaking with intense fear.
Annika aggressively pulled Camila out into the quiet hallway, desperately looking over her shoulder to make sure no one was listening.
The greedy sister-in-law completely broke down in tears, dropping to her knees and begging Camila for legal immunity.
She loudly confessed that she had been hiding in the house the night George Stanford was fatally poisoned.
Annika frantically dug into her expensive leather jacket and pulled out a small, highly advanced digital audio recorder.
She promised that the recording contained the exact conversation detailing the entire murder plot against George Stanford.

Camila immediately grabbed the small device and pressed the play button, expecting to hear Edwin plotting with Chloe.
But the chilling, calculating voice issuing the fatal orders on the tape didn't belong to her husband at all.
