Evelyn pointed her finger angrily straight at Mark's face.
Evelyn: Your child is wild and destructive, Mark!
Evelyn: You cannot even control your own family tonight!
Harold: Let the boy speak first, Evelyn.
Evelyn: Father, he ruined our main celebration dinner completely!
Mark stepped in front of Leo to shield him from her.
Mark: Speak softly to my son, Evelyn.
Mark: He must have had a reason for doing this.
Evelyn: His reason is that he is a spoiled brat!
Leo reached out and grabbed his dad's warm jacket sleeve.
Leo: Dad, she put liquid poison inside that cake slice!
The crowd gasped loudly in complete and total disbelief.
Evelyn's face turned completely white for a quick second.
She quickly covered it up with a angry frown.
Evelyn: How dare you lie like that about me!
Evelyn: I organized this entire expensive event for your father!
Chef: That boy is making up crazy stories, sir!
The head chef stepped out from the double kitchen doors.
Chef: I baked that cake myself with clean fresh ingredients.
Mark looked at his brave son with a worried expression.
Mark: Leo, that is a very serious charge to make.
Leo: I heard them talking in the back hallway, Dad!
Leo: She dropped a little glass bottle in the kitchen bin!
Evelyn turned around fast toward her elderly father Harold.
Evelyn: Fire Mark tonight for letting his son slander us!
Harold: Calm down, everyone, we need to check this carefully.
Harold called over his head security guard with a wave.
Harold: Go inspect the back kitchen bin right now.
