## Chapter 11 — The Surveillance Video Confirms Everything
The following morning, Officer Jennifer Lawson invited Sophia to the Beverly Hills Police Department for a formal interview.
Sophia arrived wearing another elegant designer dress, accompanied by a well-known defense attorney.
She appeared calm.
Confident.
"It was self-defense," she insisted.
"Emily became emotional."
"I only reacted."
Jennifer quietly opened a laptop.
"I'd like you to watch something."
She pressed play.
The surveillance footage from the shopping mall appeared on the screen.
Sophia watched herself walking several yards behind Emily.
The video slowed.
Frame by frame.
Emily never looked back.
Sophia deliberately quickened her pace.
Then both hands forcefully shoved the pregnant woman forward.
Emily crashed onto the marble floor.
The recording continued.
Instead of helping...
Sophia remained standing for nearly two seconds before dramatically throwing herself onto the ground.
Jennifer paused the video.
"No one touched you."
"No one threatened you."
"You planned every second."
Sophia stared silently at the frozen image.
For the first time...
She had no explanation.
