Chapter 7 - The Forged Will
The entire reception hall erupted into a chaotic symphony of shocked gasps and frantic whispers.
Arthur did not flinch, maintaining his composed, professional demeanor as he stared down at my treacherous husband.
He calmly asked Julian to hand over the supposedly updated will for immediate legal verification.
Julian smirked arrogantly, handing the fraudulent document to Arthur with a sickeningly triumphant glare.
The corrupt family doctor boldly took the microphone, doubling down on his blatant perjury in front of the city's most powerful citizens.
He swore on his medical license that I was completely lucid and physically capable of writing my signature on the night of my death.
Arthur carefully examined the paper, shaking his head in a display of mock disappointment.
He loudly declared that the signature was a remarkably impressive forgery, but it was entirely legally useless.
Julian laughed out loud, accusing Arthur of being a bitter, discarded employee trying to steal a widow's rightful inheritance.
The corrupt doctor signaled toward the back of the room, and two heavily armed police officers immediately stepped through the doors.
Julian proudly announced that the officers were there to arrest Arthur for attempting to commit massive estate fraud.
The officers marched down the center aisle, pulling heavy steel handcuffs from their utility belts.
Arthur simply smiled, tapping a button on his remote control to lower a massive projector screen behind the podium.

The screen flared to life, displaying the crystal-clear video Nurse Hayes had secretly recorded on her hidden body camera.
The footage clearly showed Julian actively firing the nurse before pulling the lethal syringe from his jacket pocket.
