The sound of shattering glass echoed through the high ceilings of the house.
Vanessa stared at Ethan with total shock and terror in her eyes.
Vanessa: How did you find out about that?
Ethan: My attorney sent me the complete court records from your past.
Ethan: You lied to me from the very first day we met.
Vanessa tried to move closer to Ethan with a desperate expression.
Vanessa: Ethan, please, that was a huge mistake in my past!
Vanessa: My ex-husband made up those awful stories to ruin my reputation!
Ethan: Do not lie to me anymore!
Ethan: I saw how you treated my daughter with my own eyes today!
Vanessa's soft expression instantly hardened into a cold sneer.
She realized her delicate act was completely over now.
Vanessa: You have no legal proof of anything, Ethan.
Vanessa: A court will never take the word of a child against me.
Vanessa: If you try to divorce me, I will take half your fortune.
Ethan walked slowly toward her, his voice low and steady.
Ethan: You think you are so clever, do you not?
Ethan: Look at the security cameras in the corners of this room.
Vanessa quickly looked up at the ceiling and saw the blinking red lights.
Ethan had installed high-definition cameras throughout the house two months ago.
Every single word and action in the kitchen was recorded in real time.
The footage was automatically saved to a secure cloud server online.
Vanessa's face went completely pale as the reality set in.
Ethan: Every threat you made to Lily was recorded clearly.
Ethan: The police already have access to the entire video feed.
The sound of loud sirens echoed from the street outside the house.
