He saw the sheer shock in Janetta's widened eyes.
He watched the gruesome, bloody aftermath unfold exactly as the witnesses had described.
It was brutal, violent, and undeniable.
"You've really outdone yourself, Helena." Sebastian's expression darkened to a terrifying degree.
Carter hesitated before asking, "Mr. Hayes, should I hand this evidence over to the police?"
It was Carter's usual cautious style.
He still wasn't entirely sure where his boss stood when it came to Helena.
Lately, many of Sebastian's decisions regarding her had been completely baffling.
Currently, the police didn't have this particular angle.
All they had were shaky cell phone videos from bystanders.
They showed the general chaos but couldn't be used as concrete evidence of premeditated murder.
If Carter handed over this high-quality footage, Helena's guilt would be set in stone.
"Also, because of the camera angle, the audio is missing. We have no idea what was said between them before the incident," Carter pointed out fairly.
He wasn't taking anyone's side.
Sebastian let out a cold, cynical laugh.
His voice was ruthlessly hollow. "A life for a life. Let the law run its course."
"Understood," Carter replied.
The two men walked out of the building together.
Headlines about Helena's murderous attack and Janetta's miscarriage were still dominating the news.
Since Sebastian hadn't ordered a media blackout, the court of public opinion had already spun a million different wild theories.
Reporters were swarming the hospital entrances like vultures.
Everyone wanted the first exclusive scoop.
The moment Sebastian stepped outside, the press went wild.
"Mr. Hayes, was the baby Janetta lost yours?"
"Did Helena Wallace attack her because she felt her position was threatened?"
"Mr. Hayes, Janetta has officially sued Helena. Will you be intervening in the lawsuit?"
"Are you and Helena getting a divorce?"
...
The questions grew sharper and more invasive by the second.
