Evelyn lay weeping on the cold marble floor near the big American flag.
Her fancy golden silk dress was crumpled and dirty from the hard floor surface.
Julian stood over her like an angry giant, his hands clenched into tight fists.
Julian: I gave you everything you ever asked for since we got married!
Julian: A luxury lifestyle, expensive jewelry, and a place in my home!
Julian: And you tried to kill my only child out of pure greed!
Evelyn: I was jealous! You loved that little brat more than me!
Julian: She is a baby! She is my daughter, you sick woman!
Clara stood quietly near the sofa, holding little Lily close to her heart.
The toddler had stopped crying now and was watching her father with wide eyes.
Julian looked back at Clara and saw the deep bruise forming on her knees.
She had thrown herself onto the hard floor without hesitation to save Lily.
She had put her own body on the line while his wife stood watching.
The contrast between the two women could not have been any clearer to him.
Julian: Clara... You saved my baby's life today. You are a hero.
Clara: I only did what any decent human being would do, sir.
Julian: No, you did something extraordinary while this monster tried to destroy us.
Evelyn tried to crawl toward Julian's polished leather shoes on her hands and knees.
Evelyn: Julian, please do not call the police! Think of my reputation!
Julian: Your reputation is completely over, Evelyn. Your life as you know it ends today.
Julian pulled out his phone again and dialed three simple numbers immediately.
He put the phone to his ear, staring down at his weeping wife with disdain.
Julian: Police department? I need officers sent to the Montgomery estate right now.
Julian: My wife just attempted to end my young daughter's life.
Evelyn: No! Cancel the call! Please, Julian, I am begging you!
Julian ignored her desperate pleas completely and gave the dispatcher all the details.
He confirmed that he had clear video evidence of the entire shocking crime recorded.
He hung up the phone and pointed his finger sternly right at Evelyn's face.
Julian: Get up off my floor and sit on that chair until they arrive.
Julian: If you move an inch, I will personally throw you out myself.
