Evelyn stepped forward from the back of the silent crowd, her golden gown sparkling under the chandelier light.
Her face was twisted into a cold, angry sneer as she looked at Clara and the ruined wall.
Evelyn: He was never supposed to be found by anyone!
Julian stood up slowly, keeping one arm wrapped securely around his trembling son.
His eyes burned with a dark, furious rage that no one in the room had ever seen before.
Julian: What did you say, Evelyn?
Evelyn: He was ruining our life and taking up all your time!
Clara: She paid a driver to pretend he took him away!
Evelyn: Keep your mouth shut, you pathetic servant!
Julian took three long strides toward his new wife, his fists clenched tightly at his sides.
The surrounding guests backed away slowly, sensing the explosive tension in the room.
Julian: You locked a seven-year-old child in a secret maintenance cavity?
Evelyn: I was going to move him to an out-of-state facility next week!
Julian: You are a monster!
Evelyn: I did it for us, Julian!
Julian: Do not ever say my name again!
Julian raised his arm and pointed a sharp finger directly at the front entrance doors.
Julian: Get out of my house before the police arrive!
Evelyn stumbled backward in complete disbelief, clutching her expensive pearl necklace with trembling fingers.
She looked around the grand hallway, hoping to find a single sympathetic face among her wealthy friends.
Every guest turned their back on her, whispering in disgust and horror at her cruelty.
Evelyn: You cannot throw me out, I signed the estate lease!
Julian: My legal team will tear your prenup to pieces by midnight!
Evelyn: You will regret this day, Julian!
Julian: The only thing I regret is letting you near my family!
Two heavy security guards stepped out from the main ballroom and grabbed Evelyn firmly by her silk-draped arms.
She kicked and shouted as they dragged her down the marble staircase toward the front gates.
