Prosecutors presented the pool incident.
The drugged vitamins.
The forged dementia reports.
The offshore trust.
The helicopter sabotage.
The warehouse shooting.
Bianca’s defense focused on Raymond.

There was truth in it.
Julian hated that truth because it complicated his anger.
Then Bianca testified.
She admitted hating Martha.
She admitted wanting the Hale fortune.
She denied intending to kill Julian.

“He wrote the plan.”
Then he looked at his sister.

The courtroom went silent.
Bianca stared at him.
Adrian began crying.
