Sarah looked at her husband with total disbelief as he took his mother's side.
Sarah: Mark, she was trying to force-feed him something unsafe!
Mark: My mother would never do anything to harm her own grandson!
Sarah: Look at the baby monitor recording on my phone!
Sarah tried to hand him her phone, but in her rush, it slipped from her fingers.
The device hit the dark marble floor with a harsh clatter, cracking the glass screen.
The active video call stayed open, showing a recorded clip from an hour earlier.
Mark glanced down at the shattered phone screen lying near his shoes.
On the display, his father was sitting in the study speaking with an estate lawyer.
The legal document on the screen clearly showed a million-dollar family trust fund.
The trust explicitly required Leo to remain under the care of his biological father to stay valid.
Sarah's mind raced as pieces of the puzzle began to fall into place.
Evelyn and Mark were trying to make Sarah look unfit as a mother.
If Sarah appeared unstable, they could secure full custody and control the entire inheritance.
Sarah: This was never about helping me with the baby!
Sarah: You wanted to create a fake emergency to use against me in court!
Evelyn: You are talking nonsense, Sarah!
Mark: Hand over the child, Sarah, you are out of control right now.
Mark took a step closer, extending his hand to grab Leo's arm.
Sarah pulled back sharply, holding her son tightly against her chest.
