Brenda walked down to the empty foyer after the ambulance drove away with siren blares.
The quiet house felt heavy with stress and unspoken suspicion from the morning fight.
She noticed a black leather folder lying near the spot where Evelyn had fallen down.
The folder had slipped out of Evelyn's handbag during the terrifying fall down the stairs.
Brenda knelt down on the cold floor and picked up the thick leather folder slowly.
She opened it to find a secret bank contract signed by Mark two weeks ago.
The paperwork showed that Mark was secretly trying to sell the family estate away.
He had accumulated massive debts from poor investments in foreign stock markets recently.
Brenda realized that Mark needed his mother out of the way to gain full control.
He wanted to blame Brenda for the accident to remove her from the inheritance entirely.
Brenda took out her phone and snapped clear pictures of every single legal page.
She placed the original documents safely inside her personal iron safe in the office.
Her phone rang loudly with a call from the local police station downtown.
A detective requested her presence for a formal interview regarding the morning accident.
Brenda took a deep breath and agreed to meet the officer at the precinct.
She knew she needed to stay strong to protect herself and the true family legacy.
She grabbed her purse and coat to leave the quiet mansion immediately.
The truth was slowly coming out despite the chaos that had just taken place.
