Arthur stared down at Lily with a very cold gaze.
He demanded to know why she had ruined the party.
The room was completely silent as everyone listened for answers.
Clara begged her husband to be gentle with the child.
Lily wiped her wet face with her small sleeves shaking.
She pointed a trembling finger toward the dark back hallway.
She said a strange man had been in the kitchen freezer.
She had seen him pour a white powder into the mix.
Arthur paused, his strong anger suddenly turning into confusion.
He knew his business had many dangerous, jealous rivals.
A private security doctor was always present at their events.
The doctor stepped out from the quiet back row quickly.
He wore a white lab coat and carried a kit.
He knelt down beside the spilled cream on the floor.
He used a small tool to collect the white powder.
His face turned dark as he tested the soft sample.
The guests held their breath while waiting for his answer.
The doctor looked up with wide, terrified eyes at Arthur.
He announced that the cake contained a deadly substance.
If Leo had taken one bite, he would be dead.
A wave of terror washed over the entire ballroom fast.
Clara pulled both her children close to her chest.
Arthur stood frozen as the realization hit his mind.
