A Jealous Partner Sabotaged Her Cosmetics, but a Billionaire Investor Exposed the Truth

Marcus, whose vast empire included pharmaceutical laboratories, immediately recognized the substance. "This isn't a breakdown, Victoria. This is a concentrated chemical dye used in industrial theatrical cosmetics," Marcus stated coldly, his eyes locking onto Victoria. "It causes severe chemical burns if applied directly to the eyes. How did this get into your kitchen?"

Victoria’s facade began to crack, though she tried to maintain her composure. "I have no idea! Sophia must have done this to herself to gain sympathy. She has always been unstable, Marcus. I was trying to protect our investment from her madness!" she claimed, gesturing wildly. She turned to her husband for support.

"Julian, tell him! You saw her go into the restroom alone, didn't you?"

Julian slowly stood up, adjusting his navy tuxedo. For years, he had lived in Victoria's shadow, witnessing her cruelty and manipulation. But tonight, she had gone too far. He looked at Sophia’s blood-stained blouse, then at Marcus. "No, Victoria," Julian said, his voice surprisingly firm. "I won't lie for you anymore. I saw you slip the bottle into her bag before she went in there. And I know why you did it."

The Truth Unleashed

A collective gasp echoed through the elegant dining room. Victoria’s face drained of color as she stared at her husband in disbelief. "You traitor!" she hissed. Marcus calmly pulled out his phone, tapping the screen to access the building's live security network.

"I don't just invest in restaurants, Victoria,"

Marcus said quietly.

"I own the security firm that monitors this entire block. Let's see what the cameras outside the restroom show."

On the screen, a crystal-clear video played, showing Victoria tampering with Sophia’s personal locker just minutes before the incident.
