Evelyn froze in place, her eyes widening in sudden realization.
Evelyn: The prenuptial agreement?
Richard: Clause fourteen clearly states that any cruelty or illegal action voids all financial claims.
Richard: You will not receive a single dollar from my estate or my company.
Evelyn: You cannot do that to me!
Richard: Watch me do it right now.
Richard dialed a number on his phone and placed it on speaker mode.
Attorney Mark: Hello, Mr. Sterling, how can I help you today?
Richard: Mark, prepare immediate divorce papers for Evelyn Sterling.
Attorney Mark: Understood, sir. Is there a specific reason listed?
Richard: Child endangerment and breach of prenuptial contract terms.
Richard: I have clear video evidence recorded by our household nurse.
Attorney Mark: Perfect. That will freeze all her credit cards and bank access immediately.
Evelyn let out a frustrated scream and rushed toward the front door.
However, two local police cruisers pulled up into the long mansion driveway.
The bright red and blue lights flashed through the large foyer windows.
Sarah had called emergency services right before recording the live video.
Two uniformed officers walked through the open front doors with stern expressions.
Officer Davis: Mr. Sterling, we received a report of child endangerment at this address.
Richard: Yes, officer. My wife was mistreating my eight-month-old son.
Officer Davis: Is there evidence of the incident?
Sarah: I have the full video recording right here, officer.
Sarah handed the phone to Officer Davis, who reviewed the footage carefully.
The officer nodded gravely as he finished watching the distressing video.
He turned toward Evelyn and pulled out a pair of shiny metal handcuffs.
Officer Davis: Evelyn Sterling, you are under arrest for child cruelty and endangerment.
Evelyn: Get your hands off me! Do you know who I am?!
Officer Davis: You have the right to remain silent, ma'am.
The officers placed the handcuffs on Evelyn's wrists behind her dark red gown.
She kicked and screamed hysterically as they led her out to the police car.
The front doors slammed shut, leaving the grand foyer quiet once again.
