I had spent years trying to become the wife he claimed he deserved.
That evening, I finally stopped trying.
The police arrived shortly afterward.
Two officers approached the table while Mr. Bennett explained what had happened.
One officer spoke to me privately.
I described the incident and showed him the wine stains on my dress.
I also provided the time of my emergency call.
The second officer spoke with Spencer.
He initially denied throwing the wine.
Then he claimed that I had knocked the glass over myself.
Gertrude immediately supported his story.
“She moved her hands, and the glass fell,” she insisted.
I said nothing.
I simply asked Mr. Bennett whether the cameras had captured the incident.
He nodded.
“We have cameras covering the dining room and the entrance. I’ve asked our security team to preserve the relevant footage.”
The officers requested that the restaurant retain the recording and make it available through the appropriate process.
