237 The Billionaire’s Trap: Caught on the Hospital Camera

Chapter 2: The Truth on Tape

Within two minutes, the suite was a chaotic blur of medical scrubs. Khloe was carefully lifted onto a gurney, crying out in pain as the movement agitated her bruised side. Marcus held her hand tightly, his face white with fear, refusing to let go as they wheeled her toward the emergency ultrasound room.

Isabella tried to slip out during the commotion, smoothing down her designer dress, her tears miraculously dry. "Marcus, I’ll leave you to handle your... unstable wife. We will talk later."

"You aren't going anywhere, Miss Rossi," Arthur Vance said, stepping directly into her path. Two burly, uniformed hospital security guards flanked him.

"What is the meaning of this? You can't hold me here!" Isabella snapped, her aristocratic entitlement flaring up. "I am a Rossi! My family funds half of this city's charities!"

"And I am the Chief Administrator of this medical system," Arthur replied, his voice dripping with ice. "You just assaulted a pregnant woman in my facility. You are detained until the police arrive."

"She attacked me! It was self-defense!" Isabella shrieked, looking around the hallway as high-society guests from the gala downstairs began to peek through the elevators, hearing the noise.

Arthur pulled out his tablet, tapping a few keys. As the administrator, he had direct access to the encrypted, real-time security feeds. The VIP suite hallway and the suite’s private foyer were heavily monitored.

"Let's see what the cameras have to say," Arthur said, turning the screen toward her.

The video was crystal clear. It showed Isabella cornering Khloe. It showed Khloe backing away, holding her stomach defensively. It showed Isabella lunging, shoving Khloe into the marble table, and most horrifyingly, it showed Isabella deliberately driving her pointed heel into Khloe’s side while she was down.
