Evelyn backed away until her spine hit the grand staircase railing.
Her face had lost all of its former color and smug charm.
She had never seen Marcus lose his temper like this before.
He had always been a quiet, patient corporate lawyer at work.
But seeing his sister abused inside his home changed everything fast.
Marcus took another step toward his terrified, lying wife.
Marcus: You stole her trust fund money after dad died!
Evelyn: I used that estate money to protect our business!
Marcus: You lied to me every single day we were married!
Clara: She took my mother's ring from my bag too!
Marcus turned to look at Evelyn's right hand right away.
On her middle finger was a antique diamond ring from long ago.
It was the precious ring their mother had left for Clara.
Marcus remembered his mother wearing that exact ring every single day.
Evelyn tried to cover her hand behind her back quickly.
Marcus grabbed her wrist firmly and made her show the ring.
His voice was low, harsh, and filled with deep disgust.
Marcus: Take that ring off your finger right this second.
Evelyn: You are hurting my wrist, Marcus! Let go!
Marcus: Take it off before I call the police here!
Evelyn pulled the silver ring off her finger with trembling hands.
She dropped it onto the glass table near her red wine.
Marcus picked up the ring gently and handed it to Clara.
Clara clutched the ring tightly to her chest and cried softly.
It was the first piece of her real home she had seen.
Evelyn glared at both of them with deep hatred in her eyes.
She realized her luxurious life in Dallas was coming to an end.
Her greedy plot to steal the family wealth had completely failed.
Marcus pulled his smartphone out of his dark suit pocket.
He tapped the screen to dial his top divorce lawyer's number.
He also dialed the local police department to report fraud.
Marcus: You have ten minutes to get out of my home.
Evelyn: We signed a prenup! You can't throw me out!
Marcus: That prenup is void because of your financial fraud!
Evelyn realized she had no legal defense left to stand on.
Her wicked actions were going to cost her everything she had.
