She Framed a Housekeeper with a Planted Diamond Necklace… But One Security Camera Exposed Every Lie and Destroyed Her Forever

Dr. Aris prepared a small, sterile lancet. "Just a tiny prick on your fingertip, Miss Emily. We place the droplet onto the external sensor pad."

Emily nodded, extending her hand. The quick prick of the needle was barely noticeable compared to the adrenaline coursing through her veins. Dr. Aris carefully guided her finger to the small glass pocket on the brass mechanism.

A single drop of blood touched the cold surface.

For a long, agonizing moment, nothing happened. The heavy silence in the underground corridor was so absolute that Emily could hear the fast, irregular breathing of Margaret and Vanessa behind her.

A deep, metallic clunk echoed from inside the heavy iron door. Internal gears, dormant for two decades, began to grind against one another. A slow, heavy hissing sound released as ancient vacuum seals broke.

Clang. Clang. Clang.

Three heavy steel bolts retracted slowly into the frame. The massive iron door swung open an inch, revealing a dark, dust-filled chamber beyond.

Dr. Aris looked up from the mechanism, his face lit with awe. "The internal chemical tumbler recognized the biological profile. The match is one hundred percent positive."

Arthur Vance closed his eyes for a second, letting out a long sigh before turning his stern gaze onto Margaret and Vanessa. "It is settled. Emily is Katherine's daughter. She is the primary heir."

Vanessa let out a choked gasp, stumbling backward until her back hit the cold stone wall. Margaret’s face went dead white, her hands shaking uncontrollably.
