Chapter 2 – The Woman in White
The ballroom remained frozen.
No one spoke.
Billionaire Ethan Sinclair stared at the security footage on the maid's phone.
The timestamp showed only three minutes earlier.
A woman in a white designer gown approached the serving station while the waitstaff were distracted.
She glanced around.
Opened a tiny silver capsule.
Sprinkled a fine white powder into Ethan's glass of orange juice.
Then she smiled and returned to the guests.
Every eye slowly turned toward her.
Victoria Langford.
A celebrated socialite.
Chairwoman of the evening's charity gala.
The woman who had just slapped the maid.
Victoria forced a nervous laugh.
"That's not what it looks like."
The young maid, Anna, finally found the courage to speak.
"I saw her from the kitchen."
"I didn't know what she put into the drink."
"I only knew Mr. Sinclair couldn't drink it."
Ethan quietly picked up the untouched glass.
He handed it to a police officer who had been attending the gala as a guest.
"Send it to the lab."
Victoria suddenly stepped backward.
"You don't need to do that."
Her reaction alone was enough to change the atmosphere.
The officer looked directly at her.
"Ma'am..."
"Please remain here."

For the first time that evening, the woman who had controlled the room no longer looked powerful.
She looked afraid.
