SHE STOPPED THE JUDGE FROM SITTING IN FRONT OF EVERYONE—THEN A HIDDEN SYRINGE REVEALED WHY SHE RISKED EVERYTHING
The entire banquet hall erupted the moment Lily stepped in front of Judge Harrison's chair, refusing to let him sit.
Guests gasped in confusion.
Security moved forward.
Victoria shot to her feet, her face twisted with fury.
"Get that kitchen assistant out of here!" she snapped. "Throw her out—now!"
But Lily didn't move.
Her hands trembled.
Tears burned in her eyes.
Even with everyone shouting at her, she refused to back away.
Fighting to steady her voice, she slowly raised one shaking finger and pointed beneath the judge's chair.
"Sir..." she whispered. "Please... look underneath."
The room fell silent.
Judge Harrison frowned before crouching beside the chair.
His expression froze.
Hidden beneath the seat was a syringe filled with a clear liquid, carefully secured in place so the needle would plunge into anyone the instant they sat down.
For several endless seconds, no one spoke.
The judge stared at the deadly trap, his face draining of color.
Victoria, who had been screaming only moments before, suddenly fell silent.
Not a single word left her mouth.
The frightened young woman everyone had dismissed as insignificant had just saved the judge's life.
But one terrifying question remained.

Who had planted the syringe beneath the chair...
And why was Victoria so desperate to silence Lily before anyone discovered it?
