David grabbed the heavy handles of the pot right out of Lily's hands.
He set the pot down onto the wooden table with a loud crash.
The broth splashed across the white linen tablecloth and expensive china.
Several guests gasped loudly and pulled their chairs backward in sheer shock.
Evelyn: David, look at the mess you just made!
David: Shut your mouth right now, Evelyn!
David pulled Lily into his strong arms and held her tightly.
He checked her tiny hands to make sure she was not hurt.
Lily buried her tear-stained face into her father's green suit jacket.
His wife Sarah ran into the room from the back kitchen hallway.
Sarah had been forced to prepare the meal all morning by herself.
David held both of them behind his back like a defensive shield.
His eyes were burning with a fierce intensity no one had seen before.
David: Everyone out of my house right now!
The guests looked at each other with panicked and uncomfortable eyes.
Evelyn: You cannot speak to my high society friends like that.
David: You have five minutes to leave before I call security!
David pointed his finger forcefully toward the front double doors of the mansion.
The guests quickly grabbed their designer coats and fled the room.
They did not want to be caught in the middle of this storm.
Within two minutes, only Evelyn remained standing near the ruined table.
She adjusted her sparkling grey dress with cold and arrogant defiance.
Evelyn: You are making a huge mistake, my darling son.
David: Don't ever step foot inside this house again.
David stepped right into Evelyn's face with furious determination.
Evelyn: I raised you to respect your elders and your heritage.
David: You just forced my child to serve like a servant.
Sarah stepped forward with fresh tears streaming down her tired cheeks.
Sarah: She threatened to ruin your career if I didn't comply.
David felt his heart break into a thousand painful pieces at once.
He realized his mother had been secretly terrorizing his real family.
Evelyn glared at Sarah with pure disdain in her cold eyes.
Evelyn: She is a nobody who doesn't belong in our family line.
David: Get out of my sight before I take legal action.
Evelyn turned around angrily and stormed out toward her luxury sedan.
