Fiancée Blames Stress for a Billionaire’s Hearing Loss Until a Deaf Child Signs That She Has Been Drugging His Dinner

Chapter 21 - Nora testifies
Nora hated court.
She told me:
“I should have said something earlier.”
I answered:
“Yes.”
She looked surprised.
People often expect immediate reassurance.
I continued:
“You should have. And I also created a household where accusing my fiancée felt professionally dangerous.”
Both things could be true.
At trial, Nora testified about:
Kitchen access.
Vanessa’s repeated visits.
Symptom timing.
The gala.
The glass.
Defense questioned why she waited.
Nora said:
“Because I was afraid of being wrong.”
Then:

“When Lily was afraid too, I became more afraid of staying silent.”
That line stayed with me.
